Greater Pocono Home & Outdoor Living Show Dear Pocono Pines Friends & Guests, Welcome to our 2019 Home Show Issue! I hope winter was good to you this year, as I’m looking forward to warmer weather ahead. The real estate market has been very strong at the lake this year, with land sales, re-sale homes, new construction, and remodeling all moving in a positive direction. For those that are considering selling their homes, buyers today have very high expectations when searching for a re-sale home at the lake. They often are considering building brand new vs. buying a re-sale home. Having your home updated, priced right, staged, and “punch-list free” will put you ahead of your competition in this market. You only have one chance to make a first impression, so make your home as attractive as possible. Feel free to utilize the valuable trade professionals in our magazine with proven track records of serving lake residents to improve your home. As always, I look forward to serving you with all of your real estate needs again this season, and if there is anything I can do to assist, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Kalahari Resort & Convention Center Saturday, March 23rd 9 AM – 5 PM Sunday, March 24th 9 AM – 4 PM
Sincerely,
Michael Dembinski Michael Dembinski POCONO PINES HOME-STYLE MAGAZINE • MARCH / APRIL 2019
