This winter, there’s a few simple things you can do around your home to go the extra mile and make your house shine.
If you live in a snowy area, make sure walkways are cleared. Do you have late fall leaves littering the ground? Rake them up. Also, make sure the walks and stairs are free of ice.
Here’s some other things you can do this winter to help make a good impression to potential buyers for your home:
- Place a holiday welcome mat outside the front door.
- Keep the door area clear of bicycles, toys or parcels left by the mail carrier.
- Hang a festive wreath on your door.
- If your house is being viewed in the evening, make sure your agent turns on the lights. And be sure the agent turns the lights off, or you have a plan to be home immediately, following the showing.
- Be certain your windows are sparkling clean.
- Let there be light. Open blinds and curtains and turn on interior lights to reduce the pervasive dreariness of winter months.
- Bake cookies or treats to fill the home with enticing aromas before the prospective buyers arrive.
- Leave those treats on a platter for your guests.
