If this is not feasible, head to the store and purchase Vanilla scented candles and make sure they are burning regularly - especially if the house is being shown. Another good tip is to turn your oven up to 400F and place a piece of tinfoil in along with a few drops of Vanilla for about 15 mins. Clutter - Piles of newspapers, magazines, toys and other objects, and even mail distract from the fine points of a room and contribute to making the room appear smaller. Poor lighting - Inspect those things that contribute to the brightness of the room. Open curtains and shades, make sure windows sparkle from inside and out, replace burned out light bulbs, and wipe down walls that contain smudges or marks.
Good lighting can contribute to a feeling of spaciousness.
Keep your lights on during all showings. Dirt - It appears in obvious places like heavily trafficked kitchens and baths, and some inconspicuous places that a serious buyer could investigate such as under furniture and appliances, in closets, on windowsills, and inside of cupboards. If your property is in a competitive market, it is strongly recommended that you hire a professional cleaning service to completely clean your house. A clean house gives the impression of being well cared for and offers a subtle assurance to most buyers. Too much furniture - This is often a problem when you have occupied a property for a number of years.
