If you’re considering selling your vacation home in the Disney area, there’s a lot to think about. One of the most important decisions is choosing who to work with to ensure you get the best results. While many vacation property management companies offer real estate services as an add-on, they may not always be the ideal choice when it comes to selling your home. Here’s why working with a specialized brokerage like Vacay & Co Real Estate can truly make a difference in achieving a smooth sale and maximizing your return.
Understanding the Difference: Property Managers vs. Real Estate Brokers
Vacation property management companies are often fantastic at managing bookings, handling maintenance, and ensuring your property is guest-ready. However, their primary focus is often not on selling homes, which can lead to certain limitations:
- Limited Availability for Showings: Property management companies typically restrict showings to set times. This is particularly problematic in Florida’s hot climate when buyers may prefer early morning viewings to avoid the heat.
- Weekend Unavailability: Unlike real estate brokers, who understand that weekends and evenings are prime times for showings, property managers often stick to business hours. This means fewer opportunities for prospective buyers to see your home.
- Conflicting Priorities: Property managers are focused on keeping bookings flowing and ensuring that the home stays occupied. When selling your property is not their primary focus, your home may not receive the full attention it deserves in terms of marketing and visibility.
Why Choose Vacay & Co Real Estate?
At Vacay & Co Real Estate, we dedicate 100% of our time and resources to selling vacation homes, ensuring every step of the sales process is handled with care and expertise. Here’s how we stand out:

There’s No Such Thing as a “FREE LUNCH”
You’ve likely heard the saying, “You get what you pay for,” and when it comes to selling your property, it’s essential to consider this carefully. Some property managers may offer significant discounts on listing commissions, but seller beware: Can they truly provide the same level of service and expertise as a specialized real estate brokerage?
The reality is, property managers are often focused on bookings and guest management. Their marketing budgets are typically dedicated to promoting vacation rentals, not attracting buyers for property sales. As a result, they may not have the resources or strategic approach needed to effectively market your property to potential buyers.
In contrast, a specialized real estate brokerage invests all its marketing efforts into promoting its listings. These brokerages strategically allocate funds to platforms such as Realtor.com, Zillow, UpNest, and targeted advertising on Facebook and Google. They also spend time coordinating viewings, reaching out to buyers, local agents, and referral networks, ensuring your property gets the exposure it deserves.
Moreover, working with a specialized brokerage is more likely to result in a higher negotiated sale price, thanks to their expertise in pricing, market analysis, and negotiation skills. These brokerages can also sell your property in a timely manner, given their experience in driving interest and managing the sales process efficiently.
Additionally, specialized brokerages bring valuable expertise in navigating the legal paperwork, especially for foreign national sales, and have strong negotiation skills to secure the best deal for you. Selling a property involves much more than simply listing it on the MLS and hoping for the best—it requires comprehensive marketing, strategic pricing, expert negotiation, and a deep understanding of the process.
