When selling a home, it’s easy to nitpick every detail and try to make it look it’s best. However, there are a few key things that a buyer will be looking for, and if you can really WOW them with those details, you may find selling a home at the Lake of the Ozarks to be a piece of cake. This is a buyers market, so chances of finding a buyer for your home are strong, but if you can really nail these 5 must have's in a home - you may find that the sale is even better than you hoped.

Here are a few things you should remember and consider as you shop around and find your Lake of the Ozarks home . The Market Can Be Great In many cases, buying a home in the off-season can be a great time! There are generally fewer buyers (though there will always be some), to compete with.
