How to Show Your Home in Winter
Did you know that you can show your home to its best advantage during the winter months? Here are a few tips from Royal LePage: (1) Fake a garden: Place frost resistant potted plants such as flowering kale or miniature trees in the walkway and garden, to create a sense of landscape. (2) Let it snow: Snow looks lovely on the trees, but driveways and walkways (front and back) must be carefully cleared. (3) Stay cozy: Set the heat at a comfortably warm temperature for showings. Fireplaces should be lit when possible. For a winter welcome, simmer cider with cinnamon. (4) A house for all seasons: Display photos of the home’s yards, gardens and patios in spring, summer and autumn.
