Here is a subject that REALTORS have to sometimes address:

If your home is on the market, Use your nose. Many people are oblivious to scents, but others are extremely sensitive to offensive odors.

To eliminate bad smells, do the following

* bathe your pets

* freshen the cat litter box frequently

* shampoo your carpets

* dry clean your drapes

* empty trash cans, recycling bins and ash trays. (better not to smoke in the house when it's on the market!)

*Place open boxes of baking soda in smell-prone areas, and refrain from cooking fish or strong-smelling foods before a showing

* Introduce pleasing smells by placing flowers or potpourri in your home and using air fresheners

Baking a fresh or frozen pie or some other fragrant treat is another common tactic. Cinnamon rolls in that come from a tube, makes the house smell great!
