Did you know that smell is the strongest human sense❔
This is one reason why it is so important that you do NOT use candles, essential oils, or plug-ins when you are showing your home, especially if it is to mask an odor.
• People can be highly sensitive or allergic to certain scents, and our sense of smell is also the strongest and quickest memory inducer, which can very easily trigger a bad memory.
• It's also important that you don't cook heavily scented foods before a showing or open house. No one wants to walk into your home smelling of freshly cooked salmon.
▫️The best scent for your home?
CLEAN! And I’m not talking about the “clean linen” plug-in or candle. Clean before your showings, empty the litter box, take out the trash, open the windows on a nice day, or even bake some cookies (yes that trick works).
• People want to see that your home has been well-maintained and cared for, and making a great first impression with a clean house is crucial in order to sell quickly.
