Buyer Turnoff

House odors are number one on the home selling Buyer turn off list. Narrowing it down, odors from cigarette smoke, pets, mildew, and cooking oils are top.

If you smoke indoors--the house smells like cigarettes. If you have pets, the house might smell bad--even if you don't notice it. Ask someone who doesn't live there to take a sniff, and don't get angry when they tell you the truth. For those who smoke, you might want to minimize smoking indoors while trying to sell your home. Actually, it is best to move smoking outside.

Pets come with odors. You may have become used to them, but they are immediately noticeable to those with more finely tuned senses. For those with cats, be sure to empty kitty litter boxes daily and use plenty of baking soda. For dog owners, keep the dog outdoors as much as possible, even those adorable lovable little dogs. You might also try sprinkling carpet freshener on the carpet.

TESTIMONIALS

 

"The Pennsylvania Real Estate Law requires that I provide you with a written Consumer Notice that describes the various business relationship choices that you may have with the real estate licensee.  Since we are discussing real estate without you having the benefit of the consumer notice, I have the duty to advise you that any information that you give me at this time is not considered to be confidential unless and until you and I enter into a business relationship.  At our first meeting, I will provide you with a Consumer Notice which explains those business relationships and my responding duties."
