WHEN LISTING YOUR HOME FOR SALE….. it’s always good to consider the 5 senses. When we live in our home long enough, we grow immune to the smell our home has. Dirty has a smell. Pets have a smell. Cooking food has a smell. Smells that can linger. The answer is NOT add a bunch of PLUG IN Air Fresheners! Deal with the smell at the root. 1. Have your home deep cleaned. It could be $500-$1000 for a medium sized home depending on what you want done. 2. Paint. Paint adds not just a great look but a fresh clean smell. 3. Clean the carpets. If you have pets of course they’ve had as Bob Ross would say “Happy Little Accidents” sometimes. But other odors can get trapped in the carpets too. When a buyer walks in to view your home…. You want it as fresh and clean feeling as possible. It delivers a message that this home was cared for and less things they add to the mental check list that they will have to do if they buy it. YES buyers usually clean themselves once they move in but it won’t take them hours or days and they can start unpacking sooner. What are your thoughts?!

In the LAST 24hrs here is a Breakdown of the NEW Listings in Stanislaus County. Today we didn’t see a foreclosure or Short Sale but the “possible MUST Sell” segment is growing and may continue. As the economy squeezes it could start forcing more sellers to list. Trustees appear to be liquidating the properties as several are out of state or they were inherited. It’s just the FACTS. Now you know! .

Yes this has happened many times…. You don’t want to give away their love for the property or your strategy…. Much like the government… someone is always watching now days! 😂😂
