Homes that smell nice and have good curb appeal entice picky buyers to keep looking at your property and not just close the door before seeing the entire home.
Often a repugnant smell, whether a strong dog or cat smell, cigarette smell, or a smell of "moisture" will quickllllly turn off buyers and send them running away.
Here are few other ideas to spruce your house up and encourage a thorough look and possibly an offer -
*A new mail box, house numbers, door bell and possibly a door knocker -- some of the first things a vistor sees.
*Green up your grass with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer, Home Depot or Lowes Garden Department for an economical fix.
*Mulch and edge your flowerbeds, again Home Depot or Lowes. You won't have to spend a fortune for a drastic improvement.
*Update that bathroom faucet. Cracked and rusted sink in bathroom? A relatively inexpensive fix.
*Paint in a neutral color -- fresh paint does wonders -- $60 or so per room if you do it yourself. Please use blue Painter's Tape. When you hit the ceiling with paint, it's really noticed.
*Kitchen outdated? You could make quite a difference in it's appearance just by replacing the handles in the kitchen.
*Change your a/c filters and wipe the a/c returns clean, as well as the ceiling around them.
And above all, please, please price your house competitively. It's no fun chasing the real estate market down.
