Staging Tip

When it comes to selling a home I've told you that we are appealing to the most amount of buyers in the lease amount of time. What do I strongly suggest besides decluttering & depersonalizing.

Addressing your home's smell. Don't be embarrassed every home has one! but is it a good or bad smell? Smells are very important they automatically give the impression of a clean or dirty home and no one wants to buy someone-else's dirt. Follow the list of DO's & DONT's for a great smelling home.

Do
-Bake Bread
-Use Potpourri or air fresheners
-Add Flowers
-Burn a Candle or Incense (attended only)
-Bake cookies or muffins.
-Open windows for fresh air
-Febreeze all fabrics in the home daily
-Deep clean everything to rid odours then replace with the above.
-(Remove odours naturally with a bowl of vinegar)

DON'T
-Smoke in the home (even smokers don't want a "smokers home")
-Leave pets when selling (board them, let a friend take care of them etc)
-Cook strong smelling foods prior to showings
-Burn items, if you do postpone showings.
-Let the cleanliness of your home slide keep military clean when selling
-Let spaces get wet ex: basements don't let them get moldy & smelly
-Allow kids or family members to do smelly crafts, or projects when selling.

Follow those Do & Don't tips and you're on your way to a great smelling home that will allow home buyers to fall in love with your property and buy it right then and their.
