This is Part 5 in a series of things to do that will increase your chances of a quick home sale, for the highest possible price.

Atmoshphere

1.  A clean smelling house creates a positive image in the buyer’s mind. Be aware of any odors from cooking, cigarettes, pets, etc., that may have adverse effects on potential buyers. Remember that some people are much more sensitive to odors than others. Smokers rarely notice the odor of tobacco that fills their homes, and pet owners may be oblivious to objectionable doggy odor.

2.  You can use products like carpet deodorizers, air fresheners, and room deodorizers; but the best strategy is to remove the source of the smell rather than cover it up.

3.  Unfortunately, often the only way to remove the smell of pet urine from flooring is to rip up the carpeting and padding and replace them. If this is preventing the sale of your home, don’t hesitate to make this investment.

4.  If smoking and cooking odors have permeated your home, have your carpets and furniture cleaned, and air out or dry-clean your drapes.

5.  Mildew odors are another no-no. Don’t allow wet towels to accumulate in hampers or dirty laundry to pile up in closets.

6.  Once offensive odors are removed, consider adding delightful ones. Recent studies have shown that humans have strong, positive responses to certain smells. Cinnamon, fresh flowers, breads baking in the oven are all excellent ways to enhance your property for sale.

Manage Your Space!

What we mean by this is to make your home feel as big, bright and open as possible.  Here are some time tested suggestions.

• Arrange furniture to give the rooms as spacious a felling as possible.  Consider removing furniture from rooms that are crowded.  If necessary, store large items.
• Pack up collectibles…both to protect them, and to give the room a more spacious feel.  Just leave enough accessories to give the home a personal touch.  Dispose of un-needed items!
• Remove all clutter and make it a habit to pick up clothing, shoes, and personal possessions each day for possible showings.
• Empty closets of off-season clothing and pack for the move.  Organize the closet to demonstrate the most efficient use of the space.  Leave as few items as possible on the floor.
• Use light to create a sense of space.  All drapes and blinds should be open.  Turn on all lights throughout the home before each showing, and be sure to replace any burned out light bulbs.
