Prepping your Home For Buyer Viewings
If you're planning on selling your home, it's important to make sure it's looking and smelling its best for potential buyers. 🏡
In fact, did you know that having too many scents in your home can actually be overwhelming for buyers? That's why it's important to choose a specific scent that is carefully considered.
While baking cookies or brewing coffee may seem like a great idea to create a cosy atmosphere, it might not be the best choice when your home is being shown. 🍪☕️
Instead, experts suggest using baking soda to diffuse odours, or even using a citrus scent to make your kitchen more inviting. 🍋
But don't worry if citrus isn't your thing! You can always choose a simple, clean scent or even skip adding scent altogether if your home has no unpleasant odours.
The key is to keep it simple and let your home's natural beauty shine through.
Good luck with your home selling journey! 💫
