Do you typically have an annual Halloween party?
If so, we need to communicate.
If this is something that could be rescheduled for next year in your new home, great!
If celebrating Halloween in your current home is a non-negotiable, I respect that.
With your party, try to think about food items, and décor items, that will be easier to clean up to make your home Camera Ready for the next day. How many days post Halloween do you need to get your home Camera-Ready?
Do you turn your home into a haunted house?
If so, just please be cognizant about décor that could damage your home (chipped paint, stains in carpet, etc.).
Also, please make sure that if an inspection or an appraisal is scheduled around that time, that you decorate in a way that allows the professionals to do their job.
What is your neighborhood like for Halloween?
Any trick or treaters?
Jam-packed with people?
Then we just need to be able to communicate with potential buyers if they are scheduled to see your home.
What if someone wants to see your home on Halloween?
Every showing you say YES to is a potential offer. Every showing you say NO to is a potential offer made on another home.
Remember…
You have worked so hard to get your home ready to be on the market. Think about all of the hard work it took to make your home ready to show. Remember the goals you would like to accomplish by selling your home.

“Reliable and Ready” REALTOR® since 2016. I was born in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, but was raised in Texas since 1997. When I found out we were moving to Plano, Texas, I remember looking forward to riding a horse to school and a brand-new pair of cowboy boots! Growing up in Plano prepared me to be competitive, quick, and to have a strong work ethic.
I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. Axe’em Jacks! That is where my love for East Texas began. The nature, warm smiles, football games, and community values can't be beat! I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I was a middle school math teacher in Tyler, Texas. I met my husband, Travis, in Sunday school, and we have been married since September 2016.
I love being a REALTOR® in East Texas! Relationships are genuine, the area is beautiful, and the market is rockin’! I am an involved REALTOR® to better the community. Some of the organizations I am involved with are: The Professional Development Committee, Texas Real Estate Political Action Committee, and Tyler Educational Networking Group. Some awards I have won were “The Hustle Award” in 2016, and “Rookie of the Year” in 2017.
When I am not working with my clients, I like to spend quality time with my friends and family doing the following: running, target practice, read and participate in book club, and playing with my dachshund Greta.
