Sights and Smells

What is the first thing your Buyers will see and smell when they open your front door? This room as well as your entire house, its accessories and its fragrance will be critical to your Buyer’s first impression. They may not yet be consciously aware of it, but on some level, the Buyers have already made a decision as to whether your home is on the list. If you lose them here, it will be extremely difficult to win back their enthusiasm, no matter how nice the rest of your home is.

With all the latest advances in aromatherapy, it’s easy now to make your home smell wonderful. Diffusers can leave a lavender scent in bedrooms, rose in the bathrooms, orange in the living room. You’ve heard that baking a batch of chocolate chip cookies just before your Buyers arrive is appreciated. If you don’t have time to bake cookies, try a couple of drops of vanilla extract on a piece of foil in a 250 degree oven. It produces same effect and won’t add calories!
