QUESTION FOR OUR BROKER: “What if my vacation home wasn’t rented out a lot — can I still get top dollar when I sell?”

Q&A

✅ Absolutely and here's why.

Many Orlando-area vacation homeowners feel unsure about how to position their property if they didn’t rent it out much. Maybe you used it as a second home, or kept it in pristine condition for personal getaways. You might have just a few bookings here and there and now you’re wondering: Will buyers still see the value?

The answer is YES,  if it’s marketed the right way.

 

💼 Not Every Buyer Is an Investor And That’s a Good Thing

While short-term rental (STR) investors make up a large portion of the Orlando market, they’re not the only buyers in the game. Relocators from out of state, families moving to Florida full-time, and even semi-retirees looking for a low-maintenance home near Disney often look in STR zones for homes that are well-maintained, furnished, and ready to enjoy.

Your home might not come with a year of rental income data but it might shine in ways that buyers truly value:

  • Light personal use = less wear and tear

  • Well-maintained interiors = move-in ready

  • Lightly furnished or staged = turnkey appeal

  • Low booking activity = more availability for new owners

And if your home has upgrades, a private pool, a desirable location, or resort-style amenities, these features attract lifestyle buyers and relocators, not just investors looking for numbers.

🧠 We Tailor the Strategy to the Story of YOUR Home

At Vacay & Co Real Estate, we don’t do “cookie-cutter” listings.

Every home has its own story and every marketing campaign we create is carefully built around that. Whether your property was a top-producing STR or a cherished second home, we know how to position it strategically to reach the right buyer.

If you do have rental history, we package the income data, highlight your 5-star reviews, and present the home as a proven investment.
If you don’t, we craft a lifestyle-focused narrative,  with high-end visuals, compelling copy, and targeted outreach to families, relocators, or future snowbirds.

We know what buyers are looking for and we make sure your home gets seen, noticed, and valued.
