Advice From Your Friends at
Team Wycoff Realtors 6 Tips for Selling over the Holidays! 1. Give Buyers an Experience! Leave them Christmas cookies, play music and crank up the heat. Give them every reason to stay in your home as long as possible! 2. Focus on Curb Appeal! Clean up that yard from leaves and debris! When trees lose their leaves, the house is more exposed, so clean the gutters, power wash and touch up paint, if necessary!
on decorative items that accent your home, rather than distract. Nothing too big or commanding! 6. Hire Team Wycoff Realtors! We will do our best to take care of every last detail of selling your house, so you can focus on where your NEXT Christmas will be!
3. Keep an Eye on Safety! If your Buyers slip on the ice on your front porch, it is NOT going to make a good first impression! Scoop the walk and put down salt. If you are a snow bird, arrange for someone to do it for you while you are away! 4. Price it to Sell! Rather than doing a series of price reductions that make you look desperate, choose the correct price BEFORE you list! The Buyers these days are quite astute and if they see a home slightly lower than market value, they will feel merry and bright! 5. Deck the Halls, but DON’T Turn Your House into Santa’s Workshop! Your home looks it’s best at the holidays… but focus

All lots have city water, Northern Illinois Gas. Corn Belt Electric utilities. The school system is Unit 5 School District. King's Mill Subdivision offers the best of both worlds, peaceful country charm, yet all the benefits of city living.
