  • Make a Clear Path to the Front Door- This may be the single most important thing you can do when showing your home in the winter time. Take a few minutes and make sure that your potential buyers can get to the front door without slipping and sliding all over. The last thing want is to have someone who is interested in buying your home not be able to get inside. By clearing a path inside it will also alleviate potential buyers concerns about the entrance if they are to own the home.
  • Have Good Photos of The Home When it is Sunny- It is important when you are marketing your home to potential buyers that you can show them what the home looks like when it is not covered in snow. Use photos that you have of the home when the sun is out and the true beauty of your home can be shown. This will go a long way when it comes to getting people interested in seeing your home.
  • Have a Winter Marketing Plan- If you are selling your home in Helena, MT the Experts at Swinney and Associates can help make your home more visible to potential buyers. Sometimes this is as easy a jazzing up a for sale sign so that it is more visible during the snowy times. Bruce and his team can look at your location and sales goals and make sure that your home is visible both in person and online.
  • It May Be Cold Outside, But Warm Up The Inside for Open Houses and Showings- During this time make sure that your home portrays a warm and cozy feeling inside. This will create good vibes when potential buyers are inside the home. You can do this both by providing the buyers with warm colors and décor as well as physically raising the temperature. Turn up the thermostat and if you have a fireplace throw a log on it before people arrive.
