Most people are turned off by even the smallest amount of uncleanness or odor when buying a home. Sellers lose thousands of dollars because they do not adequately clean. If your house is squeaky clean, you will be able to sell your home faster and net hundreds, if not thousands of dollars more. Make more space. Odors must be eliminated especially if you have dogs, cats, or young children in diapers or if you are a smoker.
Most agents have a difficult time communicating to their sellers about odor.
If you employ an agent to get the most amount of money for you, please don't take offense if he must confront you about odor problems. Access Factor Top selling agents will not show your home if both your key and access are not readily available. They do not have time to run around town all day picking up and dropping off keys. Paint makes the whole house smell clean and neat. If your house has chipped paint, exposed wood, or the paint looks faded, it is time to paint.
