01 / Why here

A lot to love, close to home.

The Poconos is one of the few places you can own a real getaway without a cross-country flight. Here's why buyers keep choosing it.

Location

90 minutes from the city

An easy drive from both New York and Philadelphia — close enough to use on a whim, far enough to actually feel away from it all.

Lifestyle

Four seasons of reasons

Lakes, hiking, and waterparks in summer; skiing and snow tubing in winter; foliage in fall. There's always something to come up for.

Value

More home for your money

Compared with the NJ, NY, and Philly suburbs, your dollar stretches further here — more space, more land, more home. And if you ever want it to earn its keep, I know exactly how to make that work.

02 / How it works

From first call to keys in hand.

Buying in an area you don't live in is intimidating. It isn't with someone who lives here and does this every week. Here's the path.

01
Discovery call
We talk through what you want, your budget, and which towns fit. No pressure, no pitch.
02
Find the right home
I line up showings, walk properties for you if you're out of area, and give you the honest local read on each one.
03
Make the offer
I help you price the offer right for this market and negotiate hard on your behalf.
04
Close with confidence
I guide you through inspection and closing — with my local lenders and inspectors on call. Do it all remotely if you need to.

Could it pay for itself?

A lot of buyers love the idea of a Poconos home that earns income when they're not using it. It's one of the few markets where that's genuinely realistic.

I don't just sell homes here — I own and help manage 70+ short-term rentals in the Poconos. So if renting it out is even a "maybe" for you, I can tell you up front what a place could realistically earn, and handle the whole operation later if you want. No pressure either way.

Absolutely — many of my buyers do. I'm your boots on the ground for showings, inspections, and closing, so you can do the whole thing remotely if you need to.
In most home purchases the buyer's agent commission is handled within the transaction — we'll go over exactly how it works for your situation on our first call, with no surprises.
It depends on what you want — lakefront, ski-area, quiet and wooded, or close to amenities. That's exactly what the discovery call is for: I'll point you toward the areas that fit how you'll actually use the place.
Yes. I own and manage short-term rentals here, so if you ever want yours to earn income, my team can handle listing, pricing, guests, and cleaning — start to finish.
Call or text me at (215) 776-0588, or send a note below. We'll have a relaxed conversation about what you're looking for — no pressure.

One person. Start to finish.

Mike Eichler — Poconos Realtor

I got into this business in 2021 the hard way — by managing short-term rentals and figuring out what works, and more importantly, what does not.

Five years later, I own multiple properties in the Poconos and help manage more than 70 rentals for other owners. That means I know this market cold — what a home is really worth, which towns hold value, and what buyers (and investors) will actually pay.

Most clients work with me end-to-end. Whether you're buying your first getaway, selling a home you've loved, or somewhere in between, you get one person who handles the whole thing — not a handoff to a junior agent the moment you sign.

No fluff. No "this is a great market" cliches. Just straight answers from someone who lives and works here.

I worked with Mike to buy a second home in the Poconos. He was very knowledgeable about the area and made the process very simple — and since I live a few hours away, we completed the entire thing remotely. Highly recommend him for anything in the Pocono area.
