broad buyer appeal amidst a vast array of often distracting holiday decorations
and traditions. Now is not the time to overwhelm or even
offend potential buyers. Read on to learn our holiday staging
strategies, the 5 Senses of Staging plus a great gift idea for clients, family

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you

 The
holidays are drawing near and it's time to celebrate! One of the first things
we all do is we think about decorating our homes for the holidays. Most of us
have oodles of decorations and lights that we've collected over the years -
much of it steeped in family tradition. Once these decorations go up, the true
holiday spirit begins.
But
what about those of you selling your home through the holidays? You've just
staged your home effectively by decluttering, reorganizing, giving it show-home
style and now you're about to re-populate the house with years and years of
decorations?
TIME OUT! In this shifting real estate market, you just
can't let your guard down.
So
how do you continue to merchandise your house to ensure maximum buyer appeal
but still enjoy a little bit of that holiday magic that we all love? Read on for more home staging strategies that will help you sell your home during the holidays.

What better time to evoke these emotions, then during the Holiday Season, when we're all (buyers included) in a mood of reflection and eager anticipation of what lays
ahead.
Target those emotions in potential buyers and you've made the sale!
Read on to learn learn how your home can appeal to the buyer's holiday senses - all 5 of them.
