Buying a vacation home is a major decision for most people, which is why Taylor Johnson client Heritage Harbor Ottawa Resort, a marina resort community in Starved Rock Country, uses a unique marketing tool to help buyers feel comfortable in their purchase. Thanks to a pool of homes available as vacation rentals in the community, Heritage Harbor can offer prospective buyers the opportunity to stay in a vacation cottage and experience everything the development offers. This “try before you buy” approach caught the attention of Builder Magazine, which profiled the program in its May issue – check out the full feature here.

Prospective buyers at Heritage Harbor Ottawa are able to test-drive the community by staying in one of several available vacation rental cottages.
