Tips for Selling a Vacant Home in The Bahamas
Are you moving elsewhere in The Bahamas? If the property will be largely unoccupied for a while, it might prove to be harder to sell.

Unfortunately, many buyers can't. They're looking for a house that resonates with them emotionally in some way, and a vacant home—even in The Bahamas—may not provide them with that connection.
