Selling a second home involves a unique approach, focusing on lifestyle and experiences rather than just layout. These properties, especially if rentals, may require additional work due to tenant wear, while vacation homes might need inspections for unseen damages. Ensuring the home is in pristine condition, possibly through a deep cleaning and addressing repairs beforehand, enhances buyer appeal. Homeowners need to highlight the distinct advantages of the lifestyle associated with the property to attract potential buyers more effectively.
"You want the property to look pristine when prospective buyers walk through," says Cristal Clarke, a top agent at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.
Luxury rentals often require the most work to get market ready. Even the best tenants are unlikely to have treated the house as if it were their own.
Consider investing in a prelisting home inspection to find and fix any issues before putting your home on the market.
