SELLING TIP
Home scents matter
"Be aware of the odors that could affect the way buyers react to your home. A freshly painted house smells great. If you have a pet, make sure you clean floors or carpeting. Use scented candles to cover any unpleasant cooking smells, like fish, that may linger from the night before. Fresh flowers smell nice, look nice and will brighten up the rooms, especially in winter."
Jo Ann Last, Prudential Douglas Elliman, Long Beach
