When it comes time to sell your Caribbean vacation home, for whatever reason, you want to sell it quick and you want to sell it for as much money as you can.  You may be fortunate and you’re putting your house up for sale in a seller’s market, but even doing the bare minimum of staging can net you a bigger sale.  If you’re selling in a buyer’s market, that means it’s important to stage your house so it stands out as an extra special house.

Tip # 1: Know Who Your Potential Buyers Are!

Staging a house means setting it up to appeal to buyers.  Know who your potential buyers are - young families, retirees, young professionals with no kids, etc.  This is the first step.  You can’t set up your house to appeal to everyone, so know who will be looking at your house and gear your staging for them.  If you don’t know, look to you and your neighbors’ lifestyles.  Are you a 20 something professional and your vacation home is an urban condo near a bike path?  Or is your neighborhood filled with gated-community Caribbean homes, families with young children and playgrounds?  These are big clues.  If you’re still unsure, ask a real estate agent for their input.

When it comes to deciding where to buy land for sale, Curacao probably isn’t the first place that comes to mind. However, there are a number of reasons why you should buy land in what  some people are calling “the Dubai of the Caribbean”.   Here are seven:

1.    The property is still undervalued.  Many agree that the pricing of land for sale in Curacao  is about two decades behind other comparable parts of the Caribbean such as Aruba, Barbados, and St. Maarten. In other words, you can get much more land for your money.

2.    The property taxes are low.

Resort hotels are a great option for people looking for something ‘more’ from their holiday.  They’re a lot like normal hotels, but they have many more amenities attached to them, and they’re ideal for people who want to have their entire vacation taken care of, from activities to food and accommodation.

1. Superior Comfort And Facilities.  Resort hotels normally cost a similar amount per night to normal hotels, but they often have larger rooms, and sometimes come with a full kitchen in addition to the other rooms.  A family suite in a resort hotel may have multiple bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living room, as well as one or more bathrooms.  The extra level of comfort can make a big difference to your holiday.
