Written by Posted On Wednesday, 01 November 2017 15:22

Selling your beach house sounds like it might be an easy task, but it all depends on the market. If there’s a lot of inventory in your area, you might find it’s more difficult to get buyers in the front door without something really enticing. It’s time for you to learn how to sell your beach home quickly and efficiently.

Hire a Professional Photographer

If you want to sell your beach home, you must do it online before you can do it in person. Most people tend to look at homes on the internet before they see them in person. Take a few dark, unflattering photos that don’t attract anyone’s attention and you’re not doing yourself any favors. Potential buyers will scroll right through your photos. Professionals like those at Re/Max River & Sea can show you examples of beautiful photos and tell you precisely how they make a difference.

Highlight Your View in Every Room

If you have a view, make sure it’s the first thing people see when they enter every room. Take down curtains, open blinds, open windows, and face all your furniture toward the view. People in the market for a beach house want that view, and you must remind them at every turn it’s right there for them to enjoy.

Brighten It Up

No one wants a dark beach house. Light, bright, and airy is where it’s at when you’re selling your home. If you have dark paint, décor, or accents in your beach house, get rid of them. Paint and replace your items with lighter colors such as whites, creams, light blues, and light greens. It not only looks bigger in your home, it also looks more like a beach house.

Stage the Entire House

Now is the time for you to focus on how you want to stage your home. Be sure everything looks inviting. Set the table on the balcony with beachy dishes, and put coffee cups and a newspaper on the bistro table on the master bedroom balcony. These things make it possible for potential buyers to see themselves in your home each morning sipping their own coffee on your balcony taking in the ocean views and the beautiful breeze.

Selling a beach house isn’t difficult when you implement these tips. Your agent is here to help you figure out how to stage, what you should highlight, and how you should price your home. Take these things into consideration and you’ll be shocked how fast you sell.
