Show Off the Lake

When you sell a house, you want to make sure that it looks as perfect as possible so that potential buyers can imagine themselves owning the home and making it their own place. If you're like most people, you've probably given your home a new paint job, cleaned up the floors, made sure the living room is a pleasant smell and incorporated other tricks to make the home as welcoming as possible to potential buyers.

But when you own a lakefront property, you also need to make sure you highlight the amazingness of living near one. The kind of buyers you're going to attract are the people who care most about the lake, and they want the entrance to look perfect.

Price Your Lake Property Appropriately

You love your home, and chances are that it's served you well during your ownership. Your sentiment doesn’t equal the value of your home.
