When you are selling your during the winter months, be prepared to deal with less than perfect weather. Begin by making sure the driveway and walkways are free from debris. Next, keep the interior of house between 65 and 70 degrees; this is where most potential home buyers are comfortable. Finally, make sure there is doormat at the front door, both on the outside and the inside. Also, provide a spot for wet umbrellas, jackets and shoes.
