Air out the house

INTERVIEW BY LAURA MANN

July 13, 2007

"With older homes, it's best to air the home and basement a few days before showing and especially an hour or so before an open house. Fresh air is always more appealing than a covered-up smell. Open curtains and shades to allow the sunlight in, but step back and look at the glass, walls and flooring. In the daylight, flaws show up more."
