why has my home not sold-information on what you may have over looked
Some of the most beautiful homes can sit on the market for extended periods of time.
It's not because they aren't priced well, or other factors you might suspect. It's simply because buyers are turned off by details that are often overlooked.
Yes, one of those details that carry a lot of weight is the way a home smells. Professional home stagers go to great lengths to turn ordinary homes into designer showcases. Their goal is to make a home appeal to all five senses, and when it comes to smells, they recommend attacking the problem at the source.
I thought I'd share some of their best tips with you and hope you'll find it as helpful as I do.
he source of the most common problem odors: pets, smoking, cooking, and mold or mildew.
A zippered pillowcase filled with cedar chips, placed under a pet's pillow bed, will absorb most of the unpleasant odors.
Boiling an apple, a teaspoon of cinnamon, and a few drops of vanilla on the stove will remove burnt smells in the kitchen. Add orange peels to make a simmering potpourri.
Sprinkle baking soda directly onto carpets, rugs, and sofas to eliminate odors-then let it sit for at least 30 minutes before vacuuming.
A bowl of vinegar placed in a room for a day or two will help neutralize smoke odors.
Small cotton balls with a few drops of your favorite perfume or cologne, tucked discreetly around the home, can freshen a room.
Candles, plug-ins, and home fragrance sprays can work wonders when the scent is well chosen, and not overdone.

How does short sale affect credit
Today was a great day, why you may ask? I spent the day with a client who several years ago had to face the fact that they had to short sale their property. This was a difficult time for this client and probably the hardest thing he had to face in life.
The thought of short selling his home terrified him on many levels. It first hit his pride, as anyone would feel losing your home because of economic changes is very hard. The second was he was so worries about how short sale would affect his credit.
We spent hours speaking about the affects of the short sale on his credit. The fact also was it was not an easy short sale, it was in a market that was full of homes just like his. There were times during the process when he would say I give up just let it foreclose.
His thoughts have changed now. After all the stress of the short sale it took him a few months and finally checked his credit. He called me immediately over joyed to tell me that his credit was not as bad as he thought it would be. He contacted his lender and they together developed a plan to get him back into a house as quickly as lenders would allow.
Today was our first offical day of looking for a new home it has been approximately two years since the short sale and his credit is right where it was.
I think this shows for sure that there is life after short sales and it also shows that yes short sales do work
