Sell Your Cottage or Vacation Home in Cottage Country

The Smartest Way to Sell Your Cottage

Your waterfront property is more than real estate, it’s an asset that deserves to be positioned for maximum return. At Cottage Vacations Real Estate, we know how to highlight both the home and the lifestyle it offers, ensuring buyers don’t just see a cottage, they see value. Choosing Cottage Vacations Real Estate isn’t just about selling, it’s about making the most fiscally responsible decision. We deliver unmatched exposure, qualified leads, and a streamlined process designed to protect your time and maximize your return.

Your Buyer Is Already In Our Network

Your cottage, and the exceptional lifestyle that comes with it, is in demand. We have an extensive database of qualified, vetted buyers that we can match with your property.

With our exclusive database of qualified buyers—many already renting through us—we connect your property directly to the people most likely to purchase. That means faster sales, fewer carrying costs, and stronger offers. Paired with professional staging, high-impact marketing, and our deep market expertise, we make sure no money is left on the table.

Whether you’ve inherited real estate you intend to sell or you want to list an income property you’ve had for years, we already know your ideal buyer. With your interests top of mind, we’ll create a strategic plan for selling your property to meet your goals, within your timeline.

Cottage Country Expertise Beyond The Numbers

Because we’ve spent so much time managing rentals in cottage country, we often know the homes better than their owners. We understand the quirks and features that make it unique, and with this expertise we can offer highly specific advice for preparing the space, and how best to market it so it stands out as a listing.

Should You Sell Or Rent Out Your Cottage?

You may think selling your property is the only option, but we help you expand your choices by offering alternative solutions, like renting out your property. Depending on your personal goals, we’ll help you decide on the best path forward.

We can quickly break down the pros and cons of each option so you can make the best financial decision for your future. If you decide to rent out your home, we’ll manage the entire process from start to finish—and we’ll be here to make sure that cottage is ready to sell when the time comes.

Innovative Programs To Help You Sell

Our expansive network includes potential buyers at different stages, and through our Try Before You Buy Program we have a readily available list of action-ready buyers we’ll share your listing with. If you decide to rent your cottage before selling, you have an added opportunity to get your property in front of more buyers who will know what it’s actually like to live in your cottage.

Trust Your Sale To A Local Team

At Cottage Vacations Real Estate, we don’t just work in cottage country—we live here, with offices in both Huntsville and Port Carling, along with decades of managing high-end properties across Ontario.

We understand the nuances of this market better than anyone. From septic systems and easements to road access and winterization, we know how to guide buyers through the details that set cottages apart from urban real estate.

But while we’re deeply rooted locally, our reach is global. Over 15% of our renters come from international markets, and we actively market your property to a worldwide audience of buyers who aspire to own a piece of Ontario’s cottage country. Whether your buyer is from the GTA, New York, or overseas, we know how to position your property so they understand its value and feel confident making an offer.

With Cottage Vacations Real Estate, you get the best of both worlds: trusted local expertise and global exposure—ensuring your cottage attracts the right buyer, at the right price.
