Selling your home without “smelling” your home

As we all recover from our Thanksgiving feasts, the smell of our homes (again and again) remind us of what we’ve just eaten – something to keep in mind if your home is on the market. Along with a thorough cleaning and “staging” of your home, the smell of a home can help to make it an inviting place. However, while some homeowners bake cookies for effect, you should exercise caution – a prospective buyer might be carb-cutting or have allergies.

In a recent column on Boston.com, Ralph Smith Jr. of Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty suggests keeping your home free of odors to appeal to the broadest audience and achieve the maximum sale price. You can find the complete article on Boston.com.
