Selling homes in snow country

McCall has been hit with snow storm after snow storm this winter and in some areas the snowbanks are as tall as houses. For many of us it means endless powder days on the slopes, but for those with their homes on the market, it means spending an extra few minutes (hours) a day making our homes presentable. So, don't throw in the towel if your house is on the market; this beautiful snow is bringing more people to our town than in the years past and these people may want to stay. Here are a few suggestions to keep your home looking good this winter.

1. Keep the driveway and walkways plowed.
2. Remove snow from windows or doors that have slid off the roof.
3. Try to keep the real estate sign clear of snow and away from snowplows.
4. Keep the home warm inside, if home is vacant try to keep heat on at least 55' or more.
5. Remove clutter from the entrance (including coats and boots).
6. Take advantage of the holiday decorations, make the home look festive.
7. Open any blinds or curtains to let in as much natural light as possible.
8. Burn candles or something cooking in the oven.

Best of luck and remember shoveling all this snow is great exercise!
