Scented Candles Can Backfire

Often, a scented candle or wax warmers can make a home feel more welcoming and cozy, but beware...some of your clients are going WAY overboard.  I walked into a home the other day that had such a strong floral scent, my client and I immediately got a headache. 

Not only does it make a buyer uncomfortable, it also makes you wonder what the owner is covering up (even when they aren't actually covering anything up).  Often, the owner of the home is so used to the scent that they don't even notice it, but it is worth stopping by your listings every once in a while to make sure you aren't turning people away inadvertently.  Every little thing counts...especially in this market.
