The purpose of this post is not to knock management companies as their are a few good apples out there however, it's been my experience that property management companies should stick to what they do best and that's managing vacation property. Here are some of the issues I've ran into with homes that are listed by property Orlando vacation home management companies that also have a real estate side.
1. Scheduling Conflicts: I've never had more issues trying to get into houses than I have with ones that are listed with Orlando area management companies. It's inevitable for everyone that if your home is being actively booked there will be times it can not be shown however, the vacation home management companies I have had the pleasure of doing business with seemed much more concerned about the bookings than actually showing the home to prospective buyers. It seemed as though they only wanted to sell the home to their clients who were staying in it (they will make more money that way) than to expose the home to as many buyers as possible in order to get it sold quickly and for the best price. This is certainly not in the sellers best interest.
2. Not a Specialized Process: Yes many management companies have a real estate division however it is NOT their specialty. When it comes to selling an Orlando vacation home, marketing is one of the most important skills a real estate company/associate can possess. Aside from slapping an MLS print out of the property in their window and throwing the home up on their website (that doesn't get any traffic anyway) I haven't seen any vacation homes listed by Orlando management companies that are being marketed effectively, uniquely or heavily. A dentist and an orthodontist both work on teeth, however I'm not going to go to a dentist for braces I'm going to go to an Orthodontist. So should you with your Disney area vacation home.
