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

"Exceptional! We found Russ to have an outstanding overall knowledge of the real estate market in the Green Valley area."
- Craig H., Quail Creek
"Fair, reliable, professional and a pleasant person to work with. Would not hesitate to recommend. All aspects of the sale were very professional. The materials to publicize the house were well done as were the photos. Russ’s familiarity with Quality Creek and the market were up to date and reliable. His manner was low key and very responsive. Easy to work with. Very helpful in staging the house. Excellent in all respects. Overall, a very easy person to work with and always professional."
- Joan H., 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
