Make Sure Your Home is Stink-Proof
When selling your home it is important to think about the details of your home. Cleaning up and putting on the finishing touches are important keys to getting your house ready to sell. When prepping your home for potential buyers one thing to keep in mind is the smell of your home. Here are the top 3 smells that turn buyers away when seeing a house.
1. Pet Smell
Your pets are a part of your family but not a selling feature of a home. You may have even grown to ignore the pet smell and think your home is fine but buyers will be able to pick that out immediately. When it comes time for the showing clean up pet bedding and try to keep the pets and their items out of sight and out of the buyers mind.
2. Smoke
Smoke is one of the top most noticeable smells and one of the top hated smells. If your home does have a lingering smoke smell try to let in as much fresh air in. If you have to smoke during the selling period try to take it outside and away from the home. This can be a major deal breaker for buyers so it is important to get rid of this smell!
3. Cooking Smells
You might have served the best meal of your life yesterday but with potential buyers coming in today the remains aren’t as nice. It is important to not only take out the trash but to also clean out anything left behind from past meals.
