Nothing will deter a buyer faster than a smelly house. Use an air freshener or potpourri to keep your house odor free. If you want to accent your home with inviting scents try fresh flowers, scented air freshener, or baked goodies. Additional things to keep in mind are temperature and light. Make sure that your house is warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
People have no patience in viewing a home if they are uncomfortable.
Open all the windows and let the sunlight it. A well-lit house appears more spacious and inviting. If there is not enough sunlight make sure that each room is well lit - turn on all of your lights, even closet lights. The last thing you want is a buyer groping around for a light switch.
