Selling your house, Mardi Gras glitter and all

If you enjoy Mardi Gras, like most New Orleanians do, you’ve probably battled leftover glitter, excess beads and a rotating cast of guests.

If you’re trying to sell your home during Carnival, we have a few tips to keep the glitter and guests in check. Keep the shoes, coconuts and special throws on display. Buyers have similar items at home. Sparse, overly staged homes may seem too sterile during this season.

Need more help? These tips will keep your house ready to show. They’ll also help you enjoy your favorite parades and make your realtor feel confident showing your home.
