Selling a lake home can be unnerving when you don’t feel prepared to take on the market. Lake Homes Realty’s CEO, Glenn Phillips, breaks down six sins to avoid when selling your lake home.
- Too Much Love: How much you love your lake home can lead you to make emotional decisions instead of smart, financial decisions.
- Justification of “Facts”: What you consider to be ‘facts’ regarding your lake home, may not be reality. Don’t let these ‘facts’ hold you back from selling your home.
- Limiting Exposure: Your potential buyers should not be limited to your local community. Many lake home buyers come from all around the nation.
- “Buddy System” Agent: Don’t base your final decision on your relationship with the agent. Unless your friend is an expert, you should find someone who specializes in the lake market.
- Ignoring the Market: Find an agent who is well-versed in the lake market, and has the ability to break down why certain events occur.
- Ignoring What I Just Said: Be sure to heed all the warnings given above. Our lake expert agents have local and national reach and can help you with this financial decision.
Don’t let these missteps stop you from selling your lake home. Understanding what to avoid before listing your home will make the process so much smoother!
