If your lake property is your primary residence, and you have a knack for marketing and sales, you may want to give it a shot.  Selling your property yourself can save you money, but it is not for everyone.  If your lake/river property is a secondary residence, you may find yourself driving up to the lake quite a bit (if your marketing plan is successful) to show your property to “interested” buyers.  It is not uncommon to show a property 10 times, 20 times, or more before an actual buyer emerges.  It is extremely difficult to sell a secondary residence on your own.   If you decide to go it alone, we wish you the best of luck – but we hope you will keep us in mind if your situation changes!
