What a great way to start the holiday month!

The holiday season is here and with the season comes Holiday Events. The City of Allen has two upcoming events in the next couple of weeks. For those that love Christmas trees, don't miss out on the Christmas Tree Lighting on Dec. 4th at Civic Plaza. The tree this year will stand at 35 ft. tall and have over 20,000 lights. There will be an additional 40,000 lights throughout the complex and surrounding buildings. The event will have musical performances from the Allen High School choir, plenty of fun food, and most importantly a visit from Santa.

The lighting ceremony will begin at 7pm.

Next up is the Rudolph Run 5k on Dec. 5th.

Starting at 7am. The Rudolph Run will allow you to work off some of those holiday calories from turkey day or help with those upcoming holiday calories down the road. This small event started out with only 300 runners at its beginning and now attracts over 2,000 runners. That's something to be very proud of for everyone involved and for the community of Allen. This is a great event for the family; especially if you have small children, the One-Mile Fun Run starts at 8:15am. What a great way to promote health and fitness right? The 5k will start shortly after the kids are done.

Below I'm attaching the copy of the schedule and a link to the registration site. So come on out and kick off the holiday season with some fun and exercise.

1. Stage your precious gem of a home

Something as little as an odd colored wall of paint in the dining room can steer homebuyers out of your house as quick as you can say "Wait!" Now the best way to avoid this is to Stage, Stage, Stage. Sellers with staged homes end up with an average of 6.3% more than those sellers that do not stage their homes. Plus, staged homes end up selling in half the time! What seller doesn't like these statistics? The easiest and most dramatic change includes a fresh and neutral coat of paint. This will instantly change the look and feel of your home. Other options include adding plants and greenery, hanging paintings on the walls, changing out fixtures, and adding furniture which utilizes the space better. I know you are probably thinking, "I don't have much money to spare when it comes to investing more into my property. I just want it sold." But the reality is that if you could sell your home after it's been on the market for just 2 months instead of 4 months, isn't a few hundred dollars put toward staging worth it in the end? I guess it depends how motivated you are as a seller. And in this slow-er market, I'm sure you are pretty motivated. But don't worry, with Janus Real Estate Group, we can help guide you through exactly what you need to do to get your home sold FAST!

2. Hire a photographer to capture your home's best angles

According to the National Association of Realtors, an overwhelming 84% of homebuyers begin their seach online. This means that if you are not advertising the best spaces in your house on the web, you are not generating enough traffic into your home. More traffic= better chance of getting offers! The new age of shopping online means you get one shot to impress your targeted shoppers, and if you don't they will not think twice about inquiring about your precious home. The best way to ensure appointments to view your home is to market, market, market your home on the web as best you can. This means including at least 10 pics detailing multiple rooms of your home including the backyard as well. Plus, the more professional your photos, the more convincingly attractive your home is going to look to your potential buyer, which in turn produces high traffic and leads to a sell. I know you are probably thinking that's more money to shell out when trying to sell your home, BUT when you list with Janus Real Estate Group, we offer high quality photos with high pixel quality, interesting angles, and the best lighting options at no charge to you! How incredible is that? Check out some of our photos here http://www.janusregroup.com/?ct=properties.details&id=3329584
