Depending on many factors, the time it takes to sell a short-term rental property can vary. It could take several weeks, or even years to sell it. The selling process can also be intimidating, overwhelming, and quite daunting. It is important to prepare for this.
Be nice. Share your contact information and any contracts you use to hire handymen, cleaners, or other housekeeping services. Buyers will appreciate the convenience of not having to look for help, and being able to tap into existing relationships.
Many homeowners believe it is a smart idea to sell their house in a For Sale By Owner (FSBO). However, licensed agents are recommended. A commission fee is usually between 5-6% for most real estate agents. Although it may seem high-priced, we believe it is worth it.
The market for vacation rental properties is growing and strong. A rental company that is active is more than selling a vacation home. This is a rare opportunity to sell a business with unique value for buyers and investors.
You are selling a vacation home and not your own home so it is unlikely you will need or want any of the furnishings. You should take the time to go through the property and create a list of the things you would like to keep as well as the items you might want to add to the sale.
As part of the property sale, you can negotiate to sell the furniture. You can provide the same photos and set-up as when you listed the property on Airbnb. Others might prefer to customize the property according to their wishes. Some buyers would be happy with the savings on initial costs.
