If you are in the process of selling your home and the holidays are approaching, the question comes up as to whether you should take your home off the market during the holiday season. The answer to that question depends on the seller. There are reasons to take it off the market and reasons to keep it on the market. Sure the seller needs to take into account that from Thanksgiving to New Years potential buyers and the seller themselves will be busy with family obligations and showing their home may not be convenient. On the other side of that coin any buyers out looking at homes during the holidays are serious about finding and buying. There may not be as many buyers out, however the best offers from motivated buyers may come during the holidays.

A few Saturdays ago we decided to take advantage of the warm weather to check off a few things on the Honey Do list. We pulled the screens off the windows, sat them in the back yard and gently washed and hosed them off. While they were drying we went about washing all of the windows inside and out.

My wife made comments on this throughout the day and I assured her that if the time ever comes for us to sell we will need to make sure the windows are cleaned just like today.

• Repair any damaged screens or holes.

3. Take out the additional furniture and untidy messes you might have. The rooms need to look…

Home staging is the best way of selling your home for the most amount of money that you can. This is the process of "dressing up" your home so it looks more appealing to the buyer. In proper home staging, the good features of the house are brought out and broadened, while the less appealing parts of the house are brought to a minimum, making the potential buyer not see them as well. Staging a house shows the potential buyer what the house is capable of looking like, instead of showing them something that they would not really like, but could deal with. This not only helps the seller sell the house faster and make more profit off of it, but it shows the buyer what can be done with the house and inspires them with creative ideas that they could do once the…
