A Sense of A Sale

When selling your home, it is often easy to focus on making things look good without considering other factors. As humans, we have more senses than just what we see. We smell. We hear. We taste. Okay, you can probably forget about taste when it comes to your home because most buyers are not going to lick a wall, but smell and hearing is something to take into account. Bake a pie or cookies to make sure your home has a “home” smell. Clean carpets and anything else that causes unattractive smells. On the hearing front, keep all the windows closed when someone comes buy. If there are sounds from the street that are easily heard in the house, consider putting up a hedge or other landscaping to buffer them. In short, appeal to all the sense someone will use when considering whether to make an offer on your property.
