The key to celebrating the Holidays while having your home staged for sale is to keep your Holiday décor simple . Here are some simple tips to add Holiday flair to your home without going overboard .

3 . Skip the mistletoe ! There is no need to make it awkward for the agent and buyer !
4 . Don ’ t nail stockings to the fireplace mantle . This causes damage and buyers will not appreciate that .
