Zenora Surnamer

Zenora Surnamer was a part of the Surnamer family’s initial acquisition of Whispering Hollow North and South Mobile Home Parks in the 1980s. Over the years, she developed a keen sense of business intuition and helped to transform the communities into beautiful, safe, stable, and desirable places to call home. As Zenora grew in her role, she came to direct nearly every aspect of operations including community management and sales. She developed long-lasting relationships with a great roster of vendors and fellow operators while also maintaining years of active engagement with the Pennsylvania Manufactured Housing Association. Through these experiences, she became a seasoned expert in on-site property management. Her hard work and dedication to the success of the business laid the groundwork for further expansion when the second generation came into the fold in the mid-oughts. As the company grows, Zenora continues to be involved with the day-to-day management of operations. She has also taken on oversight and guidance for the growing team. As the industry continues to change and mature, Zenora remains firm in her belief that manufactured housing should continue to be affordable for today’s homebuyers.
