Got a phone call today from a person looking to sell her beautiful Madeline Island lake homes (she has 3 of them). She was disappointed to here that we do not work with FSBO listings on LakePlace.com – we are full-service-plus (the first full-service-plus brokerage in the country that we are aware of). She wants to give it a try on her own – and we can certainly appreciate that. I told her that she may want to try LakeHouse.com and FSBO.com – and please keep us in mind if anything changes. Here is one of our seller FAQ’s for your review:
I think I can sell my property myself why should I use LakePlace.com?
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!
