Are you thinking about selling your vacation home in the Disney area? Before you list your property, it’s crucial to know why working with a specialized real estate brokerage like Vacay & Co Real Estate can make all the difference in maximizing your sale price and achieving a seamless transaction.
Many vacation property management companies also offer real estate services as a side business. However, there are significant disadvantages to entrusting your home sale to a management company whose primary focus is on bookings and maintenance rather than marketing and negotiating high-value real estate deals.
Conflicts of Interest: Property Management vs. Real Estate Sales 🚫
Property Managers are fantastic at managing day-to-day operations like guest bookings and property maintenance, but selling homes is not their specialty. When you work with a property management company, you might encounter:
- Restricted Showings: Property managers often limit showings to specific hours, usually outside buyer-friendly times. This can result in lost opportunities for serious buyers who prefer to view properties early in the day, especially in the Florida heat.
- Weekend Unavailability: Unlike Realtors, who work weekends and evenings to accommodate buyers, property managers are often unavailable when potential buyers are most active, especially during peak viewing times. This means missed offers and slow responses.
- Conflicting Priorities: Property managers may prioritize promoting their own management services over making your home sale their primary focus. This can lead to slower sales and less visibility for your property.
Why Choose a Specialized Real Estate Brokerage? 🌟
At Vacay & Co Real Estate, we dedicate 100% of our time and resources to selling vacation homes. Here’s how we ensure your home gets the attention and value it deserves:
