Walkthrough Wednesday: the light test. Winter showings are darker—bright, consistent lighting in the entry, kitchen, and bathrooms is a fast upgrade that boosts photos and first impressions. Reply “CHECKLIST” for my prep list.

🛠️ Toolbelt Tuesday – winter tip ❄️
Before the next storm, mark your driveway edges, mailbox, walkways and outdoor units with reflective stakes so they’re still “visible” under deep snow.
Small job now, fewer repairs in the spring.
