Seasonal staging during Christmas can be a tough decision to make because it’s such a personal time for families. However, it’s important to remember, the less personal your home is, the easier it will be to sell.

This doesn’t mean don’t put out any decorations, just stick with the “neutral” ones. Not to confuse this with neutral colours, just decor everyone can appreciate. Try to avoid any decorations with any of your family’s names’ or photos’. It’s not a bad idea to pre-pack any decorations that have special meaning as accidents can happen during showings. As soon as Christmas is over, transform your home back to it’s show-state.
