Utilizing Strategic Price Points
When you hire a real estate agent, one of the first things they’ll help you with is figuring out what price you should expect to sell your home for based on comparable neighborhood home sales. Here is a tip you can use to make your home’s price more appealing and attract more offers from potential buyers.
Price your home below other homes in the neighborhood to drive more traffic to your property. However, if your home comes with special features that similar homes don’t, like a pool, more land, a larger driveway, etc. your marketing should aggressively reflect those additions.
Pricing is your first marketing strategy and that is why it’s important to be educated on pricing in the market before starting the process of selling your home.
Staging Your Orlando Home For the Holidays
“Should I decorate my home for the holidays even if I’m trying to sell?”
We get asked this question a lot, and the answer is always “YES!” You may already be accustomed to decorating your home a certain way, but this year, try decorating in a way that appeals to the buyers. You’ll want to set up your holiday decorations in a way that enhances your Orlando home’s beauty—not distract from it.
The best holiday decorating tip we can share is to be avoid over-decorating with all your winter-themed trinkets like snowglobes, nutcrackers, etc. You may also want to resist the temptation of having a large Christmas tree in your home. The decorations you put up should work to direct attention to the things potential buyers will love! Be conservative with your decorations, but have fun with it!
Taking Professional Photos
Home photos may be the first thing potential buyers will see, so you’ll want to make sure you get them done right! According to research, hiring a photographer to take professional photos of your home is the best thing you can do in terms of marketing your house to buyers. It can get your house sold quicker and for more money!
Enhancing Your Curb Appeal
When selling your Orlando home, curb appeal should always be one of your main focuses. One easy place to start is to pick up any sticks on your lawn and pull any weeds you come across. Oh, and once again, don’t go overboard with all the Christmas lights and outdoor decorations. You always want to make sure that anything you do to spice up your home’s appearance will complement its best features!
Take Photos From Santa’s View
If your house comes with a lot of land or outdoor space that would be difficult to show with traditional photography, you should use aerial photography to help you! Santa’s point of view can really help show the full scope of what your house has to offer!
Light Your Orlando Home
If you really want to enhance your house’s coziness, turn the lights on! With winter being the darkest season, you want your home to look bright and inviting to buyers. So change out those burnt light bulbs and fix any broken switches you’ve been neglecting. The main purpose you’re trying to achieve with this is to get consistent lighting throughout your home!

We understand the hesitation to keep your Orlando home on the market as the days shorten, the weather grows grim, and the busy holiday season rapidly approaches.
