Winter Selling Tips

Ah winter. It is just as good of a time to sell as any – you just may have to work a little harder to keep the same appeal going for those tired of marching around in the cold looking for their forever home.

Keep snow and ice out of the walkways as much as you can. How nice and inviting is it that you can walk into a home without wondering what is under that inch thick sheet of ice? It also shows that you are proud of your home and want people to come visit.

Take advantage of the natural light while you can. Show your house during the day so that it can be seen as it will look during the summer months as well. Open the curtains and let as much in as you can.

Wash your windows. Inside and out. If you want the beauty of natural light to be seen, make sure your windows will allow it to happen.

Make it comfy and cozy. People want to buy a home. Have some background noise going, light a candle or two, start a fire if there is a fireplace. Make them feel like they are actually in a home, not a staged home. A great staged home doesn’t really feel like a staged home.
