Selling tip: Run laundry before open house

"The smell of clean laundry is always nice. To help your home smell fresh, run a load of laundry before you show the house, and tuck a few dryer sheets under the cushions of couches and chairs and inside any closets that may have a stale odor."

Helena J. Geron, Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty, Manhasset
