"Beth Derrick, I want to thank you and the George Irish Team for helping us with the recent sale of our house in the Fawn Lake Forest Community. My wife and I appreciate the professional and thorough manner with which you responded to all our questions and concerns, the advice you provided regarding sale price and house showing and lastly, the personal interest you took regarding what the house held for us in sentiment and memories. Selling a home can be an overwhelming experience, however, you made the process both smooth and composed. I will certainly recommend you and the team to anyone looking to buy or sell a house in the area."

  -John and Peggy Block, Client

"Dear Prospective Homeowners, I had an amazing experience working with Beth Derrick on the George Irish Team. I work in the mortgage banking industry in NYC and while I may be experienced in that market, I had no idea about the Lake Wallenpaupack area. Beth was able to take the time necessary to educate me on the different neighborhoods and help me find a property that would fit me. She took into account everything that I was looking for in a vacation home and was prepared to let me move at my own pace. Beth was able to carefully negotiate my offer and get me exactly what I wanted. She clearly had my best interests at heart and continues to stay in touch for anything I may need. I highly recommend Beth and look forward to my next transaction with her."

  -Dewitt Hutchins, Client

"I would like to thank the George P. Irish Team at Keller Williams Real Estate for selling my 2 lots in Pennsylvania. I couldn’t have been happier with the communication and professionalism during the process. Living 1900 miles away it was as if I was still living there. I couldn’t have been more satisfied and would highly recommend the George P. Irish Team."

  -Carl Wise, Client

"Thank you for all the support, follow-through, and hard work to sell our properties. From day 1 we felt very comfortable working with you, thanks to your compassion and professionalism. You understood the issues we were facing and tackled the challenge. Your depth of experience and years of experience and years of experience in the Lake Wallenpaupack area were invaluable as we utilize all the resources you recommended to improve the propertied and address some of the legal issues we were facing with the utility and water supply complications. When challenges came up, you were the glue to bring it back together for us. Your support through the multiple closings was beneficial to keep everything on track. It was a great pleasure to work with you on our properties and we wish you all the best in the future."

  -Timothy McNair, Client

"Dear George, When Dwyonia and I decided to sell our lake house we asked our neighbors who they would recommend. The name “Irish” was constantly at the top of the list. Thank God we listened to our neighbors—within the same day of putting our house up for sale we had a contract pending and the closing followed shortly thereafter. Thank you for what I consider outstanding and professional service which you and your staff rendered during the entire process. The only thing that I can say to anybody looking to sell their home is that if they are not dealing with George Irish, “they are making a big mistake”. Thanks again for a job well done."

  -Steven Belmonte, Client

"Dear Beth, Christina and I wanted to take a minute to express our thanks for all of the help and guidance you provided during our search for a home at Lake Wallenpaupack. We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with you, and found your knowledge of the lake and each community to be particularly helpful. Throughout the process you were always responsive, and took the time to thoroughly answer all of our questions. We are so glad that we chose the property in Rockledge, and have already come to appreciate why you felt so strongly about the level lot. Sometimes the service you receive “after” the transaction is equally as important as what you get during the process, and you continue to answer your phone any time we need help, day or night, weekday or weekend. For that, we can’t thank you enough. As you know, we made contact through a referral, and we are grateful to have gotten the recommendation."

  -Mike Keeley, Client

"Dear George and Beth, Glenn and I would like to thank you so much for everything you did to sell our home. You listed our property on 10/20 and it was under contract in 23 days to a good, qualified, cash buyer who offered more than the asking price. What more could we ask for!! The service you provided was done professionally and promptly, always keeping us informed. We’ve had a seventeen year relationship with you and we knew we were dealing with the absolute best in the profession. You came highly recommended when we were looking for a lake house, and we knew you would be our only choice to sell it. We enjoyed every minute of our time there and hope the buyers created as many wonderful memories for themselves as we did. Again, thank you so much for all that you’ve done to make this transition as painless and stress free as possible. You're the best!!"

  -Glenn and Jane Roberts, Client

"George P. Irish Real Estate was undeniably one of the best, most professional real estate companies we have ever worked with. Beth Derrick showed us the Wallenpaupack area and was very informative. She provided a clear description of the culture and attributes of a lake front community; enabling us to find the exact home we were looking for. Once we decided on a home, Beth was very helpful and attentive to every detail of purchasing our home and the closing process. She made us feel very comfortable and we trusted her. We cannot thank George P. Irish Real Estate enough and we would highly recommend them to future homebuyers."

  -Cindy and Michael Lacqua, Client

"Dear Beth, Lois and I want to thank you for the great job you did in helping with the sale of our vacation home. After almost thirty years, it was a real trauma to part with it. Your positive attitude and realistic approach helped so much. I am particularly appreciative of the support you gave us while we waited for the closing. As you know we were apprehensive and worried that some detail would squash the deal. You helped us “dot the I’s” and “cross the tee’s”, and everything turned out OK. You can be sure that any tie a friend asks for a recommendation , yours will be the name I give. Thank so much for all your help."

  -Bruce Smith, Client

"Dear George & Beth, Thank you so much for all of your hard work in getting this deal to close. It’s been a crazy few weeks and we thought the deal was dead a few times. But you kept it together for us and we are very appreciative. We are starting to get settled in the new house and have met several of the neighbors. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. I know we are going to be very happy there. The sunrise is just incredible!!"

  -Linda and Steve Bory, Client

"Dear George & Beth, It is hard to put into words just how grateful we are that you served as our realtors for the sale of our house on Lake Wallenpaupack. We have bought and sold houses in the past, but never had such fantastic representation. From our first meeting with you, we felt that your experience and knowledge of the area were going to be helpful, and that feeling proved to be correct. We needed to replace our older septic system and your sage advice, local connections, willingness to meet with contractors, and diplomatic skills were indispensable to owners such as ourselves whose primary residence is not close. We particularly appreciated your advice regarding that project because it added significant value to the house, justifying that sale price. After an excellent offer, you held the deal together through great communication and persistence. We could not have chosen better realtors. Thank you so much."

  -Sean and Dawn Smullen, Client

"Dear George and Beth, We have used the George Irish Team for the purchase of two homes at Lake Wallenpaupack. We have found them to be very knowledgeable of the market and to be on top of the details that go along with the purchase of a new home. George and Beth were both efficient in returning calls and follow up on questions we may have had. Their recommendations for other vendors have also been helpful to make the process of closing on a new home less stressful. I would certainly use them in the future if the need arose and would also recommend them to anyone considering the purchase of a home."

  -James VanderPlaat, Client

"Dear George & Beth, My wife and I purchased our current house, and sold a previous house, with George. If you think your relationship with George or Beth ends at closing you are wrong. They have been a great asset to us for the last 20 years. When ever we need a contractor to perform work around the house, we know to call them for the answer. Beth and George know the area and the best contractors to recommend. That includes carpenters, lawn maintenance, snow removal, and AC/Heating mechanics. Recently our AC failed and we needed to replace the unit. After calling numerous contractors that said I would also need to call a carpenter to remove and re-install the closet, my wife said, “lets call Beth” she always knows the right person to call. Again, I cannot thank George and Beth enough for all the help they have given us through the years. In my opinion, if you need a Realtor, George and Beth of Lake Wallenpaupack is the only agency you should consider. "

  -Tom and Barbara Felcetto, Client

"Dear George and Beth, Over the past fifteen years, you have helped me in many different ways. In the lake nineties, Beth educated me on different weekly rental options on the Lake. I rented through Beth over four consecutive summers. It was a great experience. In 2008, I decided to make the plunge and Beth helped me purchase a vacation home on the Lake. We visited over 15 houses during my search, and Beth patiently provided guidance as I conducted my due diligence on this large purchase. Beth helped me find a great place! In 2014, George and Beth again showed their skills and expertise by helping me navigate the sale of my home. This transaction was unique in many different ways, but George and Beth were with me "hand in hand." I was always impressed with George's business acumen, as he really rose to the occasion in helping me sell my home in a tumultuous real estate market. I would recommend George and Beth's services to anyone who is thinking of renting, selling or purchasing!"

  -Andrew Bartels, Client

"George and Beth, We just want to thank you both for handling the sale of our hoe with the perfect combination of professionalism, efficiency and kindness. You made the whole experience as stress free as possible for us. We would recommend you whole-heartedly to anyone in need of a top notch Realtor. Thank you!!"

  -Paula and David Antenucci, Client

"Dear George and Beth, You are an awesome team! You sold our Skyview Lake Home for more than the asking price in just 11 days. Both of you guided us through big decisions regarding our property, both in finding the right property and knowing when to let it go. We cannot thank you enough for all you did for us. You helped us make one of the biggest decisions of our lives and you made sure we never felt alone in the process. We wish you continued success at your Keller Williams Firm."

  -Tony and Beatrix Grinage, Client

"Dear Beth, Once again you have proven to be the very best Real Estate Agent! You guided us with ease through our first Pennsylvania purchase and now through the selling of our property. We both knew right away after spending the first 30 minutes with you that you’re an expert in your field. Your knowledge, expertise and friendly personality made this a most pleasurable experience all the way around. George and your staff were all so helpful any time we called with questions, all the people you recommended to assist in this process were professional and exceptional in their fields. At this point in our lives we have moved through many real estate transactions and you are by far the most knowledgeable and efficient agent we have ever worked with. Your staff, and everyone involved has made yet another transaction easy. We both wish you and your staff a wonderful summer season as you all continue to make the process of buying and selling pleasurable and painless. "

  -Kathleen McPhillips, Client

"We would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to Beth Derrick for her assistance with the purchase of our house in Honesdale. Beth was always available with answers to our endless questions and concerns. Being first time home buyers, Beth not only answered all our questions but frequently suggested questions we should be asking and also supplied answers to questions and concerns that never occurred to us. Beth has skillfully guided us through the sale and closing process with kind, good humor and we would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone wishing to buy a home. "

  -Kristi Bluhm, Client

"Dear George, I am happy to recommend you as a Realtor, for the following reasons: You are the most tenacious Realtor I have ever worked with. You are committed to a quality transaction. Your paper work is exemplary. I have complete confidence in your analytical skills and discretion. You have a tight knit team that works extremely well together. George, I've recommended you on numerous occasions and will certainly do so again, and as a formal commercial real estate agent myself, I think you are absolutely the best choice for real estate representation in the Poconos."

  -Craig Aberle, Client

"Beth and George, I wanted to take a minute to write you a letter of recommendation. When I approached you a few months ago to consider selling our lakefront home, I never expected such a seamless and lucrative experience. After a market assessment, you listed our home for 100K over what I thought the maximum listing price could be. I honestly thought the price was completely unrealistic, but I put my faith in your 30+ years of Real Estate experience selling Lake Front homes at Wallenpaupack. After masterfully handling multiple offers in the first few weeks the home was on the market, to my surprise and delight, you exceeded my expectations with the house selling another 51K about your recommended list price. Without your finger in the pulse of the Lake Front Real Estate market, I would have easily left a couple hundred thousand dollars on the table."

  -Steve O'Leary, Client

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Beth and George when buying our vacation home on Lake Wallenpaupack. Beth was thorough in getting us appointments to see all of the homes in which we were interested and patient as we came back multiple times. Beth was also extremely knowledgeable about the lake properties, much of their history, and surrounding area. Beth and George were especially helpful during negotiations, providing great advice and recommendations. They quickly responded to our questions and handled all of the issues that arose between inspection and closing. Beth and George made the buying process much easier and more comfortable. We will definitely use them again when the need arises. "

  -Bob and Marie Kramer, Client

"Dear George and Beth, Thank you for the many years and many memories that we have had on Lake Wallenpaupack. 11 years ago you sold us our first home. 5 years later when we were ready to build lakefront, we knew exactly who to call. Once again your team found us the perfect property to build our dream home. We have loved every second of our time here. Now that our boys have grown up, our time on the lake has slowed down to the point that we knew it was time to sell and we knew just who to call. Between your tenacity, knowledge of the market and incredible way of advertising the property, we knew we were in good hands. Your team sold our house in record timing. Rob and I thank you all for the last 11 years. We wish you continued success in the future."

  -Lisa and Rob Bruzzese, Client

"Dear George and Beth, We are writing to tell you of our deep appreciation. Not only for your professionalism, but also your personal attention in both the purchase and twenty two years later, the sale of our vacation home in Tafton, PA. Your knowledge and expertise in realty has proven to provide a smooth transition each time. I know you have always put all your customers first, but in mine and Shirley's case you have always gone above and beyond. Thank you so very much for looking out for us. In closing, we could not have asked for a better realtor. Out highest recommendation will always go out for you."

  -Vito and Shirley Tarricone, Client

"Dear George and Beth, Never have we seen two realtors who went to bat for us more than you two did! You made our dream house on the lake become a reality, and we are so grateful! Thank you for always taking time for us when we wanted to see the house again and again and for keeping in constant contact with us through the entire process. We never felt forgotten! Thank you for being so diligent on our behalf with the other parties involved, while maintaining integrity and fairness throughout the procedure. You are both incredibly knowledgeable about the area, so there's hardly a question you don't know the answer to, and if you don't know, you find out right away. You are two of the hardest working individuals we know, who work together like clockwork as a team determined to help your clients buy what they really want or to sell what they need to move our from under. and you do it all with a wonderful smile and warmth, making people feel cared about! We could never thank you enough!"

  -Mark and Mary Roe, Client

"My husband and I first met George in 2013 when he helped us find our Lake House/Lot in Woodland Hills. It was a great lot and a wonderful neighborhood, but we recognized one day that we would want to knock the house down and build our dream house. We decided to start the build in 2020 when we are in London. In one way it was great as we would not be there missing the lake, but it made it tremendously tricky to manage from London. We needed a trusted and experienced person in the region that would have the connections and expertise on knowing who the best builders and best contractors are and knowing what a reasonable price is. using George was the best thing we did as it allowed us to have the confidence that the work was progressing with great quality and a reasonable timeframe, while ensuring we were getting a fair price. We would highly recommend George for his knowledge/experience in building/real estate and for professionalism in negotiating for fair prices."

  -Lynelle Hoch, Client

"Dear George, We wish to take this time to thank you and your real estate team in assisting us in the sale of our vacation home. From the time we talked to Beth Derrick, to the time we closed on the sale of the house, your team was able to give great assistance to us in this matter. I must tell you that your agency moves fast and stays the course when they get a property to sell. In today’s market we thought the house wouldn't sell as quickly, much to our surprise it did! When the offer came in and we made the decision to sell the time frame from start to finish was a little over a week, fast work on the realtors part. Your agency was able to prepare the necessary paperwork and acted with the utmost professionalism and accuracy. For that we were grateful that we were not held up with various “glitches” on the sale. Should we have the opportunity to work with your agency again, we will certainly do so in a heartbeat."

  -Anne and Seth Corwin, Client

"George & Beth Over the 4th of July our family spent the weekend in our new lakeside dream home in the Tanglwood Community! This is the first of many memories we will make together. We would like to thank George Irish and Beth Derrick for helping to make our dream come true. Our search took 10 months, as we had very specific criteria and there were limited choices in the Lake Wallenpaupack area that met our needs. Beth was very patient and understanding of our needs. She educated us about the area, showed us several communities and properties and provided us valued advice along the way. When we found a property of interest, Beth and George were instrumental in working through a challenging negotiation and we were able to settle in 30 days! We highly recommend George Irish and Beth Derrick for your Lake Wallenpaupack real estate needs."

  -George and Beth Spanos, Client

"Dear Beth, It is my pleasure to formally thank you for your professionalism throughout the process of listing and selling my home on Indian Drive in WLE. You not only meet, but exceed my expectations. You are truly the best Realtor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Right from the very start you gave me excellent advice on how to set up and display my home, so it would be attractive. I truly believe that was what led to my receiving almost my full asking price. Should I, or a friend, ever look to buy in the Lake Ariel area, I will definitely call, or recommend you, knowing that I will receive the best possible treatment. You are a really fine representative of your profession and I wish you the very best of luck in your future endeavors."

  -Edward Callaghan, Client

"My parents have just closed on their property on Lake Wallenpaupack and I wanted to thank you for all your work to see this to its conclusion. It becomes necessary when selling a “second” home to rely on your realtor much more that dealing with your full time residence. It falls to you to open, show and then close up the house for every appointment. My parents are elderly and are currently having some health issues. I needed to facilitate the transfer of information, documents, and phone calls between you and my parents in order to insure everything was proceeding as required. You were very understanding of this situation and set my parents’ minds at ease that all was being taken care of. This was very stressful for my mom and dad, and I thank you for being considerate of this and helping make the sale go smoothly. I would recommend your office to anyone who is thinking of selling or purchasing property in the lake area."
