The one aroma to help sell your house quickly

April 10, 2023

Here’s the one aroma to help you sell your house quickly

True or false? When you’re selling your home, you should bake cookies before a showing or an open house. After all, who doesn’t like the smell of freshly baked cookies? Well, it isn’t like you can Betty Crocker your way to a sale, let alone at the highest price possible. Your entire house still needs to be appealing.

A batch of cookies isn’t going to hide bad odors enough or divert people’s attention from a messy house that needs repairs. Nor will a cookie-scented candle or plug-in air freshener.

In fact, some candles and plug-in fresheners can actually turn a buyer off — and may trigger curiosity about what odor the seller is trying to hide. However, there is one smell that will help your house sell… It’s called “clean.”

When you’re selling your house, there’s no substitute for a good, thorough cleaning to create an aroma that will appeal to any and all buyers. Whether you do it on your own, or hire a professional cleaning service, giving your house a good deep cleaning before (and while) your house is on the market is one of the most important things you can do.

TESTIMONIALS

"Moving to a different state can be somewhat overwhelming. We found Russ’s website and knew we needed to see him in person. We were not disappointed. He is extremely professional and being an out of state buyer, we definitely needed a Realtor we could count on. He was so helpful in finding the right house for us that it didn’t take long to make an informed decision. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Thanks, Russ for making this a great experience from beginning to closing."
- Dianne C., Quail Creek
"Russ is a Realtor you will want to use! We worked with Russ to sell our property, all while we were living out of state. We got the selling price we wanted, he was always responsive to phone calls, texts, emails; went out of his way numerous times to make sure things like permits were in place or that services to the property were being taken care off. If Russ was licensed in other states I would always use him."
- Tom S., Quail Creek
"Great Experience, and Russ provided the “right” support when I needed it most. Russ knew the market well and was very responsive. He did a great job of staging, put together an exceptional photo portfolio and excelled at marketing the property. Very appreciative of the great effort and support he provided, and would definitely recommend him for others."
- Tony H., Quail Creek
