Tips that Get Vernon and North Okanagan Homes Sold Fast for Top Dollar! (Tip# 12)
TIP #12--ODORS ARE HOME DEAL KILLERS!
You may not realize but odd smells like traces of food, pets and smoking odors can kill deals quickly. Pets in particular are a sensitive subject as all homeowners’ love their pets and it is a difficult subject to broach as they usually have become desensitized to the pets smell. NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK YOUR PET SMELLS!
I have seen firsthand on a couple of occasions where sellers have lost more than $100,000 in home value because your eyes literally watered when you walked into their home. We did not take the listing as the home-owner could not acknowledge there was an issue. Smokers seem to be more open to accepting there will be odors. If prospective buyers know you have a pet, or that you smoke, they will discount the value of your home. Aggressively, remove any clues, smells and stains at the source.
