Every one knows how difficult it can be to sell a home during the winter months.  Your best bet is to try and make the open houses a holiday affair.  Invite the neighbors for a special preview then advertise later hours for the public.  Even in these tougher times we should have snacks and coffee or for your higher end listings serve wine and cheese.  Always make sure to check with the seller when serving anything on their premises and follow all local laws. 

Please have a great time this holiday season!
