Top Tips for Putting Your Lakefront Homes up for Sale

Proper preparation is key to success in many areas of life, including selling a waterfront property. If you have Lake Wallenpaupack real estate for sale, following these tips will help present your property at its best:

Optimize the View

It's easy to take the familiar for granted and no longer notice all the details. Try to look at your view as if you've never seen it before. What do you see? Are the bushes, and shrubs trimmed and neat or do they look scraggly and unkempt? Do trees obstruct a beautiful view?

Emphasize the Lifestyle

Accentuate the appeal of a casual lake lifestyle by grouping patio furniture around or near a grill and set up a couple of chairs with an umbrella near the shoreline.

Include a Water Tour

Another lifestyle selling tip is to include a "tour" of the water. Walk around the property, including the lake front. If feasible, take the potential buyer out on the water and point out highlights of the area.

Choose the Right Realtor

The old saying that “a picture is worth a 1,000 words” is true when it comes to selling lakefront properties. The angles from which photos are taken and the quality of the photos are especially important when you're selling higher-priced lakefront homes.

Set the Right Price

One of the primary factors in selling a home is price. Setting the correct price makes a big difference in attracting buyers in the time required to close a sale.

While following these simple tips won't guarantee the sale of your property as quickly as you'd like and it won't guarantee you'll get the price you're asking for, those who have Lake Wallenpaupack lakefront homes for sale will be headed in the right direction for a successful sale if they follow these simple tips.
