This Seattle home stager has some excellent advice for home sellers.
Also, when my Buyers find a home they like, I like to sit down there and discuss a possible offer. So Sellers of vacant homes, at least stage one or two rooms – a living room to discuss the offer, and a dining room table to write notes or possibly a contract!

During these cold, dark winter months in the Seattle area, it is important to welcome prospective buyers to your vacant home. The exterior lights should be on timers so they are on at dusk and off at day break.
Interior lamps (not overhead lights) should also be on when it gets dark outside. We suggest leaving the lamps on 24/7 or put them on timers to go on around 3 p.m. and off about 10 p.m.
Buyers will often drive by your listing prior to scheduling a tour. If your house looks warm and inviting, a positive first impression has been made.
And remember…keep the temperature comfortable, no lower than 66 degrees. A cold house will send buyers fleeing back to their warm car!
