Jon Bell - Railey Realty - Deep Creek Lake

Jon Bell - Railey Realty - Deep Creek Lake Buying or selling in Garrett County, MD? Call Jon Bell at (301) 501-0735. I moved to Garrett County after graduating from Towson University in January 2000.

Top-producing Deep Creek Lake Realtor for over 20 years, specializing in Deep Creek Lake and Wisp Resort homes, lakefront properties, land and new construction. Deep Creek Lake is more than the place where I work—it has been my home and a major part of my life for more than 25 years. What I originally thought might be a short stay quickly became permanent. I fell in love with the lake, snowboarding at Wisp Resort, the outdoor lifestyle, and the people who make this community so special. Today, my wife, Noelle, and I are fortunate to live at Deep Creek Lake and raise our two daughters here. We enjoy boating, wakesurfing, skiing, snowboarding, and everything the Deep Creek lifestyle offers. I began selling real estate full time in 2005 and have built my career around helping others experience this special place. For more than 20 years, I have consistently ranked as the top-producing Realtor in the Deep Creek Lake area based on closed sales volume. I am an owner of Railey Realty and lead the Bell | Fenton Luxury Real Estate Sales Team with my sales partner, Mike Fenton. We help buyers and sellers throughout Deep Creek Lake, Wisp Resort, and Garrett County with lakefront and lake-access homes, luxury vacation properties, building lots, large-acreage tracts, commercial properties, and new construction. My experience extends beyond buying and selling real estate. As president of Railey Vacations, I help Deep Creek Lake homeowners successfully rent and manage their vacation homes while creating memorable experiences for the families who visit our area. I am also a co-founder of Cabine Custom Homes and am actively involved in real estate development and custom homebuilding around Deep Creek Lake. Working in real estate sales, vacation rental management, development, and construction gives me a broad understanding of the entire property lifecycle—from identifying and purchasing the right property to planning, building, managing, renting, and eventually selling it. What I enjoy most is helping people make informed decisions. Deep Creek Lake is a unique real estate market, and local knowledge matters. Whether you are searching for a vacation home, preparing to sell a longtime family property, considering vacation rental management, purchasing land, or exploring a development or custom homebuilding project, I am always happy to answer questions and share my experience. I take pride in treating people honestly, communicating clearly, and working hard for every client. Many of my clients have become longtime friends, and their referrals and repeat business are among the most rewarding parts of my career. This is more than a business to me. Deep Creek Lake is my home, and I love helping others discover what makes this area so special. Please feel free to reach out anytime:

Labor Day weekend sunset surf session! 🌊☀️

Apparently, I took “Labor Day” a little too literally and worked all weekend—but I made it home just in time for a sunset surf session!

I missed some of the fun, but it was worth it. I helped two sellers and two buyers get four properties under contract. Not a bad Labor Day weekend!

A lot of work, a little lake time and a fun and successful weekend all around!

Proud dad moment! ⚽️

The Garrett County Republican published a nice season preview that mentions both of my daughters:

Today was the first game of the season for the Southern Lady Rams, and both Natalie and Molly were in the starting lineup. They both played really well, Molly scored a goal, and the team came away with the win!

Great start, Lady Rams! Keep up the hard work and have a great season! ⚽️🐏

Tell me you’re community doesn’t allow hunting without telling me you live in a community that doesn’t allow hunting 😂🦌

While showing a home in the Mountainside community we walked onto the back deck and found this big guy hanging out in the yard.

He didn’t seem particularly concerned about us—and definitely wasn’t in any hurry to leave!
Just another day showing real estate at Deep Creek Lake. You never know which of the local residents might stop by during a tour.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home in Mountainside or anywhere around Deep Creek Lake, Mike and I would be glad to help.
