Be sure to also remove any hazards by shoveling, sanding, and removing any ice or snow from the driveway, walkways, and sidewalks. To engage buyers on a gloomy day, keep the front porch well lit, use potted evergreens or berry branches, a wreath on the door, lanterns, and a seasonal welcome mat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Simple and Elegant Holiday Decor<\/strong><br \/>\nDo not overdo! Buyers want to see the home\u2019s permanent features and a fireplace or window covered with too many ribbons and stockings will distract from key focal points. Instead, incorporate elegant finishing touches such as mercury glass votives and ornaments for some sparkle paired with candles, pine cones, berries and twigs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Create Warmth With Lighting<\/strong><br \/>\nUse modest lighting as an accent to create an inviting ambience. Scatter a few lightly scented tea lights in votives, candles in varying heights on beautiful pillars or lanterns and soft white string lights on the front porch, entry stairway or fireplace.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Splashes of Minimal Color<\/strong><br \/>\nToo much traditional green and red can compete with existing decor and command a room\u2019s attention. A couple of red plaid throw pillows or a red wool blanket draped on the sofa will add just enough festive pop. We also love using silver and gold paired with fresh, white seasonal flowers to complement freshly painted neutral walls that appeal to nearly all buyers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Keep It Bright<\/strong><br \/>\nWith shorter days, let in as much natural light as possible by opening blinds and curtains. Make sure that all lights are working, light bulbs have been changed, and be sure that the property is well lit both inside and out for late afternoon showings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/styledstagedsold.blogs.realtor.org\/2016\/11\/28\/how-to-create-a-warm-inviting-winter-listing\/\" target=\"_blank\">How to Create a Warm, Inviting Winter Listing<\/a> by Patti Stern | RealtorMag<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Welcoming Curb Appeal Maintain a polished look by keeping gutters clean and shrubs trimmed.
