Stephen VanNess

I'm Stephen VanNess, a local real estate agent who specializes in Lake Hopatcong and the surrounding communities. I grew up on the lake, so my knowledge goes far beyond recent sales. I understand the different neighborhoods, coves, lake-access communities, and the details that can significantly affect a home's value.

Over the past seven years, I've helped buyers and sellers navigate everything from lakefront homes and townhouses to farms and luxury properties. I've also built Lake Hopatcong Living, a local real estate and lifestyle brand that reaches thousands of potential buyers through YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.

My approach is straightforward: provide honest advice, communicate clearly, and create a strategy built around your specific goals. Whether you're buying your first lake home or preparing to sell, I'll use my local expertise, strong negotiation skills, and modern marketing platform to protect your time, money, and peace of mind.
