I had a second showing on a new listing this week, and the buyers loved the home the first time they looked at it, but the next day they sent feedback that said they house smells like a wet dog.
What happened in between the showings? The owner had the carpets cleaned, and the impact on the smell of the house was dramatic The owner does have a small dog, but I've never noticed the smell before, and I usually do, because I don't have dogs.
The owner has already moved out, so he's planning to spend some time this week to find the cause of the smell and eliminate it. But it looks like we may have lost a sale because he didn't get this done before we listed the house.
