When night falls, a cast of creepy characters can help turn your home into a landscape that is equally frightening and enchanting! To welcome trick-or-treaters in hair-raising style, turn your porch into a bat cave or use other spooky props to celebrate the season!
We've put together this short list of tips so you can celebrate this spooky season in style, while ensuring the safety of those who come to your door:

Don't use live flames: When decorating your porch, avoid using live flames. Instead, use LED and battery operated candles to get the same effect!

Make sure electric cables are safely out of the way: You don't want children tripping over wires and cables when they come to the door, so make sure they're tucked away.

Optimize your lighting: Make sure your walkways are lit well and free of obstruction. The last thing you want is someone taking a tumble on your property.

Remove obstacles: Leave enough room for children to walk up to your door without tripping on decorations.

Buy a ton of candy: Make sure you buy the big bags of candy so you don't have any disappointed trick-or-treaters.

Check your kids' candy: Before letting your children eat their hard-earned candy, make sure the wrappers have not been opened and all the treats are safe to eat.

Wear a costume: If you're going to be answering the door for trick-or-treaters, you might as well join in the fun! Dress up to show you're welcoming and like to have a bit of fun as well. Halloween is a holiday for kids and adults, so don't be afraid to pretend a little!

We hope these tips have been helpful to you. Thanks for checking out our blog, and we hope to hear from you soon!
Have a safe and fun Halloween!

testimonials from happy clients

Jessica - "Both my husband and I are very happy with the results. We actually sold 2 homes through the Joy Daniels Real Estate Group and both of them went off without a hitch! We had some issues with the well at our home and when we were on vacation it needed to be run for an extended time over and few days and Joy made sure that it was taken care of by the time we got back so we were ready to go for settlement."

Gary - "We’ve worked with Joy for several years now. She aided us in buying the current house we’re living in and also the house that we just sold. Joy and her whole team just have their act together. I was in the business for myself and I know how hard it is to get a team to click and she just seems to be able to do that."

Mitzi - "They helped me sell my home even through some of the wrinkles that my ex-husband caused. They had peak traffic through my house and they did a very good job with the marketing aspect. I just always felt comfortable with her. They really helped me through the closing and even after the sale when I had breast cancer and couldn’t mow my grass, my Realtor Nick came out a couple times to help me with that which was above and beyond! It was just a really good experience and I recommend Joy all the time!"

Ed - "When we were looking for a real estate agent, we wanted to work with someone who was willing to work around our schedule. Joy and her team quickly exceeded our expectations in helping us find a home. They were there for us, they walked us through many homes, and were even chipper and brought us coffee when we’d go look at homes at an unholy hour on a Saturday morning. I never had to wait longer than 30 minutes for them to return a phone call and they were also involved in the community, which shows a commitment to the community at large. Joy has sold over 3 homes for my family and when she sells my current home in the spring, we look forward to working with the best team in Harrisburg and Central Pennsylvania! "

Jennifer - "Being that she’s the president of the company, we felt honored that Joy wanted to work with us. Twelve days after the house went on the market, we got an offer! I think the communication was great. Everyone that we talked to was professional and happy. We could tell they all love their jobs! It was just an all-around positive experience."

Shelby - "They were absolutely amazing. There was never a period of time that went by that we didn’t have some sort of update from Joy or her assistant Heidi. They were readily available, and basically in constant contact with us!"

Leslie - "We worked with one of her agents named George. He was very helpful. We were looking for a new home rather than an existing home sale. He was helpful with the valuation of the lot, the features that would be useful for resale purposes as we were planning the home, and neighborhoods with the best resale values. We appreciated his insights and he worked with us a little bit in the process during our initial walkthrough when the builder has a different inspection times, and he offered insights during those times as well. It was good to have him. He had been involved with the builder before and was a new home specialist. On one occasion, he traveled with me from Harrisburg to Lancaster. He went with me to the design center and was very helpful with advice concerning buyer interest, home trends, and other things we should be thinking about when making decisions about features we should put in the house."

Linda - "It was perfect, from day one until we sold the house, our agent was excellent. Everything he told us, he said we would sell our house within two or three days and we did. Everything just went perfectly. We got the amount we wanted for our house, and we didn't have any problems at all. Any questions we had, we contacted our agent and it was just perfect. No matter what paperwork, anything like that. If we had any questions about anything. Now we had a homeowner's association, and we had to get a letter from them saying we were moving out. Our agent did all that for us. We didn't have to do that. He was really right on the ball, doing everything we needed to have done. It was just perfect. I would recommend Joy Daniels to anybody. In fact, I've already done that with a couple people that I've talked to. We've had other real estate companies, but this one was just a ten. That's all I can say, it was perfect."
