Lake Homes Realty, LLC - Pennsylvania

Wendy Schurgot is a full-time Pennsylvania Broker, REALTOR® with Lake Homes Realty and a Preferred Agent for Mountain Homes Realty. She specializes in Lake Wallenpaupack real estate, Pocono lake homes, lakefront and waterfront properties, lake-rights homes, mountain homes, cabins, vacation and second homes, residential properties, acreage, and land. Licensed since 2000 and a Pennsylvania Broker since 2022, Wendy brings decades of real estate experience to buyers and sellers. Her primary market is Lake Wallenpaupack and the Northern Poconos, particularly Pike and Wayne counties. She also serves selected Southern Pocono communities where the property and location align with her expertise. For sellers, Wendy combines local market knowledge, thoughtful pricing, property preparation, and marketing that highlights what makes each home distinctive. Lake frontage, private docks, boat slips, lake rights, community amenities, acreage, and vacation-home appeal all help tell a property's story. She helps sellers understand how their home compares with competing properties and position it to attract the right buyers. Through Lake Homes Realty and LakeHomes.com, her listings benefit from national exposure to buyers searching for lake and waterfront real estate. From the first pricing conversation through negotiations, inspections, appraisal, financing, title work, and closing, Wendy stays directly involved and focused on her seller's goals. For buyers, Wendy looks beyond the photos and square footage. Two similar homes can offer very different lake access, boating opportunities, community rules, ownership responsibilities, and resale potential. She helps clients evaluate the house, lake, land, and surrounding community so they can make a confident, informed decision. Her guidance includes powerboating and non-powerboating lakes, shoreline characteristics, docks and boat-slip availability, lake rights, HOA rules and fees, community amenities, short-term rental restrictions, wells, septic systems, private roads, and seasonal use. Her experience also includes state-leased cabins, rural properties, acreage, and vacant land. Whether you want a lakefront home with a private dock, a quieter lake-rights community, a cabin in the woods, a mountain retreat, or a full-time residence, Wendy helps you understand both the advantages and the potential concerns. For buyers considering vacation rental opportunities, she helps identify rental rules and questions to investigate before committing to a property. Wendy's approach is straightforward, responsive, and personal. She listens carefully, explains options clearly, and provides honest guidance without pressuring clients. Strong negotiation, consistent communication, and attention to details are central to her work. She anticipates issues, addresses inspection concerns, and works persistently to keep transactions moving while protecting her clients' interests. Her connection to the Poconos spans more than four decades. Raised in Belvidere, New Jersey, near the Delaware River, Wendy first lived in the Poconos from 1980 through 1983 and returned permanently in the 1990s. She enjoys boating, fishing, swimming, hiking, and spending time in the lake and mountain communities she represents. That personal connection is paired with a practical understanding of Pocono property ownership. Wendy helps clients see how lake access, community restrictions, road maintenance, land characteristics, and property condition can affect both everyday enjoyment and long-term value. If you are preparing to sell a Lake Wallenpaupack home, lakefront property, mountain home, cabin, vacation home, or land, or searching for your next home in the Poconos, Wendy offers experienced representation and local insight from your first conversation through closing.

More Than a Realtor... Lake Wallenpaupack Is Home There are many Realtors who sell homes around Lake Wallenpaupack. I don't just sell here—I live here, I've built my life here, and for more than 45 years I've been fortunate to call this incredible area home. I moved to the Lake Wallenpaupack region in 1980, and from the moment I arrived, I knew this was where I wanted to be. I raised my three sons here, all of whom graduated from Wallenpaupack Area High School. Around here, life revolves around the lake. Friday night football games are played overlooking the water, and it's not unusual to drive by and see students kayaking on Lake Wallenpaupack during gym class. That's the kind of community this is. Over the years, we've owned lake homes, invested in local real estate, and created countless memories boating, swimming, fishing, camping, and enjoying everything the Pocono Mountains have to offer. Today, our five grandchildren are making those same memories on the lake, and I truly can't imagine living anywhere else. Living here has given me an understanding of Lake Wallenpaupack that goes far beyond real estate. Every lake community has its own character, amenities, and rules. Whether it's lake rights, dock permits, short-term rental regulations, boating access, or choosing the community that best fits your lifestyle, I help my clients navigate those details with confidence. Working with Lake Homes Realty was a natural fit because lake living isn't just my specialty—it's my passion. Helping buyers find the perfect lake home, vacation retreat, retirement property, or investment, and helping sellers move confidently into the next chapter of their lives, is what I enjoy most. My clients often tell me they appreciate my honesty, responsiveness, and local knowledge. I believe buying or selling a home is about much more than a transaction. It's about understanding your goals, protecting your interests, and helping you make one of life's biggest decisions with confidence. Lake Wallenpaupack isn't just where I sell real estate—it's where I've built a lifetime of memories. I'd love the opportunity to help you create yours.
