Bill was born and raised in Bethlehem (PA) and graduated from Kutztown State College with a Bachelors degree in education. He began his working life as a teacher in the Lehigh Valley area (Emmaus High School). It was while he and his wife were looking for their first home that Bill became interested in real estate. He obtained his real estate license in 1975 and began working in the business on a part-time basis while continuing his teaching career. Over the course of the next 30 years Bill continued his education, and his career in education, earning three more college degrees and becoming a school administrator. With an earned doctorate in Educational Administration (from Temple University, 1994), Bill is probably one of the most highly educated realtors you will find anywhere. While pursuing his school career, Bill moved his family to central Pennsylvania in 1982 when he began working at the Northern Lebanon School District. Although he spent a number of years in the Donegal School District (Lancaster County) in the late 1980's and through the 1990's, he has kept his home in Myerstown since 1982. Bill and his wife, Karen, have been married for more than 37 years and have raised three children here, two of whom still live in Lebanon County. Bill and Karen love nothing more than to spend time with their growing family, which now includes nine grandchildren. Now that he has retired from his former career in school administration, Bill has been able to devote himself fully to what he calls his "second career, but first love" - Real Estate. In his first year working full time in the real estate business, Bill's listings and sales represented more than $1.4 million in property value sold, all from homes in the low- to mid- price ranges. This was an impressive start, but Dr. Bill intends to improve every year, and grow his business, with his goal to become one of central Pennsylvania's top performers every year. His clients love working with Bill, because he consistently places them first. He is attentive to his clients' needs and works hard to gain and keep their trust. In every transaction, his aim is to provide the most smooth and pleasant experience possible for his client. In his spare time, when he and Karen are not traveling or spending time with grandkids, Bill is very active in his church - Community Evangelical Church in Sinking Spring, assisting with the music ministry, serving on committees, and leading a "Life Group." He is a member of the Christian Real Estate Network (CREN), and the Council of Residential Specialists (CRS), and is working toward the CRS designation. If you are considering buying or selling a home in Central PA, you want someone who knows the area, has experience, and will devote himself fully to meeting your needs. Bill Fenstermaker knows Central PA well, from raising a family here for more than 25 years. He has been a licensed realtor since 1975 and has kept pace with the changing market over the years. And he has proven himself to be one of the most client-centered agents you will find anywhere. Trusted, dependable, proven performance. That's Bill Fenstermaker.
