Selling your home? Fragrance sells! WE KNOW scents conjure up emotional responses and we also know that first impressions can make a huge impact on selling your property. Therefore the smell of your home is very important in not only in the making it smell nice but in the emotional impression it is giving out to prospective buyers. The "Smell to Sell" is a commonly accepted real estate strategy that often brings great results. The power of specific scents warms up prospective buyers and makes them instantly feel at home in your home.
Here are some keys tips on what you can do with essential oils in your home so it smells fresh, homely and sets a beautiful environment & atmosphere as they are walking around your house. It has to be inviting, warm AND friendly and we can certainly make this happen with fragrancing your home with essential oils
Firstly, when the client first walks into your house they should smell an uplifting fragrance that will emotionlly make them think of ‘home’ (or the fact that your house could be their next home!). Now a lot of people are aware of how the smell of baking wafting out of the kitchen has become a cunning way of creating this. The trouble with this, it has got a little obvious and people get suspicious easily, thinking “the old smell of freshly baked bread trick” and so it can conjure up negative or “what are hiding” reactions. On what ever your opinion on this though while creating a nice alluring smell in the kitchen the smell doesn’t seem to wift beyond the kitchen, or hang around, and more importantly it might only smell good to people who are hungry (and then their mind drifts to eating rather then thinking about your house) AND it doesn’t mask any unruly or ‘not so nice’ smells that your potential buyers could be smelling. Essential oils are the easiest, most efficient way to create this homely feel and uplifting atmosphere that gives POTENTIAL BUYERS a great feel or vibe about your house.
THE NUMBER 1 TIP
Have a essential oil diffuser in the hall way or in the area that the prospective buyers walk into first, and have at least one other vapouriser going in another prominent area in the house.
You need to have the aroma obvious but yet subtle and you need to have them lasting for the two hours or so of the open home.
Have the oils vapourising a good 5 mins prior to the open homes so by the time the first person walks through the door the aromas are eminent.
In the diffusers have quite a few drops (10-20 depending on the size of the area) of firstly a refreshing oil such as lemon, tangerine, bergamot & add to that another oil such as cedarwood, rosewood, palmarosa (7-10 drops) . Or you could pick up a pre-blended ‘Green Remedies’ ‘Smell & Sell Synergy’ which has these kind of smells in it but it is also blended with secretive essential oils that have been known to actually increase sales. CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?? Isn’t that great? In your circumstance (as a House Seller) this blend will make people want to buy your home!! AND as an agent this synergy will get you in such a top positive ‘go get em’ attitude trust me if everything else with the house has all the ticks ....Having these aromas in the environment will definitely be a winner!
