Real Estate
There are so many things to consider when purchasing a home, such as the number of rooms, kitchen upgrades, yard size, and so many other features. However, you should also take the time to treat your first look at a house like Thanksgiving – enter the dining room and take a big whiff.
Your sense of smell can tell you a lot about the condition of a [city] home. So follow your nose, along with your real estate agent, throughout a house and inquire about anything unusual that makes you hold your breath. Below are four specific odors that could mean you are in for some serious work.
Follow your nose and be sure to ask for repair costs if you are going to have to pay for odor-removal renovations. With a little negotiation, you will find the right home and be hosting Thanksgiving dinner next year with only the scent of roasted turkey and grandma’s dressing in the air.
