Be sure to keep your home warm, when potential home buyers come for a showing.  Use warm colors throughout the home, to create a cozy and warm impression. If safe, and not left unattended, turn fireplaces on.  Also, leave lights and lamps on, both inside and out. These tips will make potential home buyers feel welcomed and comfortable and able to see themselves living in this property.
