Are You Smelling Your Home, or Are You Selling it?

When you have been living in your home for as long as most people do before they put it on the market,  sometimes a homes odors can go unnoticed as you just may have become acclimated to them, however minimal they may be.

And no, not all homes have odors, but the ones that do tend to languish on the market, and tend to sell for less money, as the buyer (in his/her mind) is about to purchase something of an unknown entity- that is, whether or not the odor will go away, and how long will it take?

So paying attention to the "sense" in staging goes a long Way to sell your home. In other words, improving your home's "scents" is a  key element.

The two biggest offenders are pet smells and/or smoking odors, which can permeate the carpets, walls and furniture.

No one says that you have to break the bank to get your home ready for sale. One thing that you do have to realize is that those first impressions by the buyer's senses are simply HUGE, and will have a very strong determining factor in whether or not a prospective buyer will have interest in making your home theirs. And that's the point, right?

Sometimes, it's as little as ripping out a few carpets and painting the walls to give a home a fresh look... and a fresh smell. Check out this article on effective methods of handling odors in your home.

Rely on your professional  and experienced Fairfield County Connecticut Realtor (that's me) to let you know if it makes "sense" to be addressed.
