š Selling your home? Here are 4 BIG "No Ma'ams" you need to avoid when it comes to open houses and private showings:
ā 1. Don't load up your home with air fresheners, ESPECIALLY the basement. It can lead potential buyers to think you're trying to cover up an underlying problem, plus too many smells is overwhelming
ā 2. It's best to leave the home when your realtor is conducting an open house or private showings. Having the seller present can make the potential buyers feel uneasy and not explore the home fully. The less time a buyer is in a home, the less likely they are to put in an offer.
ā 3. Avoid cooking any high-odor foods, such as bacon or fish. Nobody likes to smell last night's dinner when touring a home, stick to fresh baked bread and cookies instead!
ā 4. Perhaps the most important: PICK UP DOG POOP!
Imagine a potential buyer stepping in poop? Not only are they going to be upset and leave immediately, but what if they don't realize they stepped in anything, and now they're walking all over your floors with poopy shoes š¤® YUCK
