Keep The Decorations To A Minimum

If your home is usually the brightest on the block, you might want to tone down the seasonal decorations on both the interior and exterior of your home.  You still want to make it easy for potential home buyers to see themselves in your home.  Decorations can be a huge distraction from the features of your home.  The potential buyers may not of the same religious or cultural background as you.  So if you do decorate, keep the decorations tasteful and modern.  Think of how a model home would be decorated for the season, rather than your own personal taste.

Remember The Basics Of Home Sales

When selling your home, the advice you receive from The Villarreal team will include tips such as keeping your home clean and clutter free, this should not be forgotten just because of the holidays. Keep personal items such as gifts and homemade crafts out of sight, be sure to tidy up promptly after parties and events.  When hosting an open house, using the sense of smell can always be an effective strategy, by giving it a holiday twist you can really give the effect of a cozy family home.  Bake some holiday cookies and throw on a pot of mulled wine before the potential buyers show up.

Overall, selling your home during the holiday season can present you with considerable challenges.  Trying to balance the needs of both your family and your potential buyers you can make this period as stress free as possible.
