Well that time of the year has arrived, the wonderful joy of shoveling the heavy wet icy snow from your walkways to your driveways. Winter is not all that bad, the holiday family gatherings far out way the negatives that 10 inches of snow can bring. We at All in one Staging & redesign would like to share some helpful tips for those Realtor and FSBO's who still need to hold open houses.We all know that this time of the year can slow all type of markets up, especially the Real Estate market. But there are ways to make sure you don't bring selling your house to a stop. All in one Staging & redesign will show you ways to make sure you make your house stand out, with out Blinging out.
Let me explain, Im sure you love decorating the outside of your house with Santa's, sparkling lights, and a whole bunch of other Christmas cheer. But in the eyes of a potential home buyer, that can be a huge turn off. In these days of being politically correct, the people who don't celebrate Christmas could pass by your house just because of the decorations. So keep it to a minimum when decorating the outside of your house during the holidays. And Please do your self a favor, don't let your agent take pictures of your house with these decorations up.
Another tip about Christmas decor while selling your house is, Less Is More! The same applies to the inside of your house as the outside during the time your house is on the market. Sorry to all those folks who love to decorate like we do at All in one Staging, but you have to remember...your house is now a product once you put that for sale sign up, and these little tips that Stagers use will help sell houses faster in the winter market.
Finally, and I think this could be the most obvious but one of the most important tip in selling your house in the winter is, Shovel your side walks. I know it seems very obvious but you would not believe how many open houses we at All in one Staging & redesign have been to slipping and sliding are way to the door. We offer a shoveling package to our vacant staging clients, so they don't have to worry about the snow when holding a open house, because we would send over a employee to make sure the walkways are clean and salted so the open house visitors will start off on a positive note.
I hope we at All in one Staging & redesign shed some light on how to properly decorate a house for sale during the winter months, and pointed out some of the obvious tips that sometime get over looked, but could be the tip that helps sell your home.
Happy Holidays & Season Greeting
Best Wishes,
