Selling a Cottage.

Selling a Cottage May Not Be a Typical Real Estate Transaction. You can carry on just like you are selling your home in the city, however, the choices you make can make a big difference on the time on the market and in the money you come away with after the sale.

Have a look though buying a cottage and see if any items may stick out.

Are you unsure about any issues with the property?

Would you like to know if there are issues before you receive an offer.

This can be a unpleasant surprise for you to have the purchaser find there is problems in their inspections.

Not minor problems, most home inspectors will come back with a long list of minor issues.

What you should be informed of are any major ones, even if you don't plan on fixing them at least you are aware. If you find that there may be a problem with your property lines...well, they may need to be addressed anyway.

Items to Consider

• Are You Listing Through Real Estate?


• Are You Considering Selling the Property Yourself?


• Who Are You Going to List With?


• What Marketing Systems Do They Use?


• What Other Implications Become Involved Such as Capital Gains Taxes

Preparation...

Get a property package together, with all the documents you will need for the sale.

Items Include

• A Recent Tax Bill


• All Survey Documents


• Well Information


• Any Water Tests


• UV Treatment Systems


• Septic Information


• Rental Equipment


• Manuals or Warranty Information


• A List of Improvements


• A List of Included Items for the Sale (Chattels)


• Any Permits Obtained Including Occupancy for Major Projects


• System for Shutting the Property Down for the Winter


• For taxes, Any Receipts of Improvements over the Years

There are numerous other items that may not be included such as road association fees, and other items that many may not think of such as lake information, winter activities and the hot fishing spots...just for fun!

I want Your Property to Stand Out!

A buyer may just have driven for hours to come and look at your property and will probably be looking at others.

Put on The Buyers Shoes!

When you're looking to buy new house, consider how you compare all that are on the market. The pricing, location and how the home shows.

You pick apart defects in each home you see. This includes the furniture and any clutter.

Take a walk around your cottage and property. Note anything you see that needs to be repaired, cleaned up or removed.

Clean it up, dress it up, fix it, if you don't have time get a local handyman, de-personalize, remove all the personal items all over the walls, fridge etc. Simpel things, clean up outside,the windows, fix the dock, fresh paint if needed.

If your furnature is old consider buying good used furnature to 'stage' the appearance. You are in competition with other properties that may be hours away. Everything you can do to make the first impression a good one counts!
