The winter weather hasn’t been too kind to us here lately in Massachusetts. We got a huge snowstorm last week and have had snow and ice all this week.

Heres my car after almost 2 feet of snow fell:

You folks in the warmer climates don’t really have to worry too much about the snow and ice, but I’m sure the heat brings about it’s own set of challenges.

Leave a comment below if you have any good tips for selling houses during these cold, dark winter months.

    Keep the heat on and water running; nothing says, “We’ll be here until Spring,” like a house that’s shut down. Keep the driveway plowed and timed lights on in the house at night if it’s a 2nd home where you don’t actually live. People driving the neighborhood at night will notice your home before the others in the neighborhood if it looks warm and inviting from the street. Take down any Christmas decorations now (mid-Jan) and have your Realtor stock the home w/snacks for people who visit. They’ll remember your home when it’s time to make an offer!
