A Reminder to Sellers During the Holidays

I was showing properties to some clients last week and most of the homes were decorated for Christmas. A couple of the places we looked at were so "decorated" that you could hardly walk through the house.

As a former Home Stager, I think Sellers need to remember not to overdue it with the decorations. It's very easy to create a cluttered feeling that makes the space look much smaller. In smaller spaces, garland on the railings especially can create a closed in feeling. Also, be sure to look at your outside decorations. Sometimes things that look nice after dark, don't look so great in the light of day and you don't want to do anything to diminish your curb appeal!
