The Really REAL Real Estate Podcast

Welcome back everyone to “The Really REAL Real Estate Podcast!”
As we approach the end of January, it is not uncommon for Mother Nature to go on a three-week long drinking binge in Southwestern Pennsylvania where it can be 76 degrees and sunny on Monday and five inches of snow on the ground by Thursday! Today, we talk about the importance of sellers maintaining their homes while on the market during the winter months, especially if the property is vacant.
TALKING POINTS (3-5):
- Introduction
- Outside Responsibilities:
- Must shovel and salt all driveways and walkways!
- This is a liability!
- SAFELY remove icicles hanging from the gutters as well as any snow from the roof or an awning that could potentially fall onto the driveway/sidewalks/potential buyers and their realtors!
- Must keep the property well lit, especially since it is getting dark earlier!
- Keep the outdoor décor simple!
- And take down the holiday decorations before the New Year!
- If the home is vacant, check on the home frequently, especially after major storms!
- Inside Responsibilities:
- Keep the house at a reasonable temperature!
- Winterize the property!
- Provide shoe covers instead of asking potential buyers and their realtors to remove their shoes inside the home!
- Keep some lights on in the home at all times.
- Also, consider leaving the blinds/shades up to help let the natural light in on sunny days.
- Keep the inside décor simple!
- And take down the holiday decorations before the New Year!
- If the home is vacant, check on the home frequently!
- Funny story
- Final thoughts
