For Amanda Trusler, Alpine Lake isn’t simply a market she serves—it’s a community she calls home.
Known as “Alpine Lake Amanda,” Amanda is a full-time REALTOR® with Bel-Cross Properties and the leading real estate professional serving Alpine Lake Resort and Preston County, West Virginia. After more than 13 years in real estate and 9 years as an Alpine Lake homeowner herself, she brings clients something especially valuable: an intimate understanding of both the real estate market and everyday life inside the gates.
Amanda has consistently ranked as the top-producing agent in Preston County and has become a trusted resource for buyers and sellers navigating the unique Alpine Lake market. Her experience includes everything from classic mountain chalets and log homes to lake-area retreats, new construction, full-time residences, and second homes.
Her approach is highly personal, straightforward, and rooted in information rather than pressure. Sellers benefit from thoughtful pricing strategy, professional staging and presentation, targeted marketing, and a deep understanding of what attracts today's mountain-home buyer. Amanda doesn't simply put a property on the market—she works to identify what makes each home special and builds its marketing around that story.
For buyers, Amanda offers the perspective of someone who actually lives the lifestyle she sells. She understands the questions that matter when purchasing in a resort community and is equally comfortable pointing out a property's drawbacks as she is its advantages. Her goal isn't simply to sell someone a house. It's to help them determine whether they've found the right one.
That philosophy has helped Amanda build a business driven by relationships, referrals, repeat clients, and buyers who often begin working with her months—or even years—before finding their place at Alpine Lake.
When she isn't working with clients, Amanda can usually be found enjoying Alpine with her husband, children, neighbors, and dog—whether that's golfing, kayaking, playing pickleball, taking a golf-cart ride, spending time at the lake, or simply enjoying the cooler mountain air.
