When you are selling your home, regardless of the season, you want to let in as much natural light as possible. Clean the windows both inside and outside. Clean all the drapes, curtains and blinds. During showings and open houses, keep the blinds and drapes drawn. On the outside, prune back trees and shrubs, to allow more light in. In addition, add additional lamps to a dark corner, to add more light.
