		<description><![CDATA[Karen,

I wanted to say Shame on you for trying to scare me....just kidding I found your article to be outstanding. I wonder if Ron and Jeff ever went down to Iroquois street there? Ron-Jeff? Well someone tried to sell me a lot there and I actually went there to check it out....Now Im no expert but I am pretty sure the low lying swamp that was there wasnt going to be able to have a septic system put on it let alone a house.. However I did find a person selling a lot that actually was a nice as you and now I have one along with a septic permit. Keep up the great work and delete these useless posts from people that have nothing else to do but try to get under your skin.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jeff/Ron, you either have an identity crisis or both of you coincidentally are commenting from the same computer; as your IP addresses are identical.

If you read the actual POST - it is titled &quot;5 Reasons to Love Pocono Springs.&quot;  That could be why the post is about Pocono Springs - ya think?

ONE little comment, made because of MULTIPLE phone calls I receive on a REGULAR basis from people who purchased lots in Pocono Springs without having a perc test done, without knowing what a perc test IS or how much it costs, and without understanding what a &quot;cloud on the title&quot; can cost them, I cautioned future buyers to be SURE to have a title search and make sure the property has a valid perc test before purchasing a lot.

Yes, Pocono Springs is a great place to build as long as the property purchased will support  a septic system - and if it requires a more expensive alternative or more work to be done to the land in order to have a septic design approved,  the buyer has a right to find that out before agreeing to purchase the lot.

Can&#039;t understand why this irks you so much, Ron/Jeff or whatever your real name is - irks you so much that you missed the main point of the article - which is - Pocono Springs is a GREAT community.  

Any further comments from your IP address will be deleted.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Any property, anywhere and everywhere, that requires a septic system would need to be perc tested, acquire permits etc. no matter where you go throughout the world. Targeting one specific community would make a person would get scared and wonder why, as a realtor, you are not mentioning all the other communities that have the same requirements.

Now, in my own personal opinion, Pocono Springs is one of the best values for your buck.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry - I should have said that I was not trying to &quot;scare&quot; people when it comes to buying lots, which is what you were implying with your comment.   

Advising people to make sure they can build on the property  and making sure they discover what costs are involved before purchasing real estate is not scaring people.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nobody is saying not to buy land in Pocono Springs.  What *is* being said is to make sure that the property bought is buildable before agreeing to purchase any lot.  It&#039;s a shame that a professional such as yourself missed that.  Why not go back and re-read what I said.  

Nobody is trying to &quot;scare&quot; people from buying lots in Pocono Springs.  I have a BEAUTIFUL lot listed for sale right now.    

What I am attempting to accomplish here is to create awareness among consumers that due diligence is required when it comes to purchasing  vacant land - not just in Pocono Springs, but ANYWHERE.

Many people purchase these lots sight unseen off the internet with the intention of selling it at a profit... and have no idea that they even need to have a perc test (or what a perc test even is), not to mention the fact that there are homeowner association dues to pay, whether or not the property is buildable. 

My buyers are *always* referred to septic professionals when septic issues arise.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I work in construction and it is a shame how real estate agents scare the buyers when the lots in Pocono Springs are very affordable and quite beautiful. All lots we had tested did indeed perc and some lots did need land fill to pass a perc for a sand mound septic, otherwise our clients wanted to install an alternative septic. Technology in the construction industry has come along way and I can not believe how real estate agents lack the knowledge when it comes to septic systems and home construction. All I can say is... if a buyer has questions about perc testing and septic systems, the best people to ask are the people that do just that and not the real estate agents that do not have the construction knowledge or expertise. It is best to contact a contractor who has the know how, training, skills and experience in the construction field. For general information about many different septics available, contact the county or a contractor with the expertise. Please allway remember that a real estate agent is not the right source for this technical knowledge.]]></description>
