Why We Hired a Broker to Sell Our Vacation Home

After 27 years, we're selling our beautiful house in Fire Island Pines. Or, to be more specific, we have hired a local broker to sell it.

People keep asking us why we're not listing it ourselves. It's easy. We want the best outcome. If we were selling our Greenwich Village co-op, there's no question that we'd do it. However, our expertise is not the sale of barrier island resort community houses built on pilings in the sand.

We don't have the knowledge base, resources, and access to potential buyers that a local specialist does. We know what it takes to get the job done well, and we're more than happy to pay another broker to do it.
So why are we selling? We've spent 30 wonderful seasons in the Pines, and it's time to do something new. We want to see more of the world.
