Saying buyers smell, I don't mean they stink. Home buyers use more than their eyes when deciding on a home to purchase. I have shown several homes over the past few days, most vacant properties. As soon as the front door is opened, it hits you. The smell!
When selling your home not only does it need to look good, it needs to smell good too. It is amazing what a coat of paint can do and if you have pet or cigarette odors in your carpet you may consider replacing it. Not only will your home sell faster, it will likely get more in return than the cost of the carpet.
On nice days or evenings, open your windows and allow your home to air out and let the fresh air in.
If your home is listed for sale make sure to empty the trash regularly and make sure their are no dirty dishes in the sink. Odors can be more offensive to people than holes in walls. A hole in a wall, a prospective buyer knows they can patch but a smell they are unsure what it will take to get it gone.
