The Power of Scent

Lemons, Herbs, Spices

Many may agree, that upon entering an establishment, whether residential or commercial, the scent or odor could trigger the brain to want to remain or get out as soon as possible. As real estate agents we understand that a home with ambient scent may trigger a desire in a buyer to linger a little longer, during a showing or return to view the home again.

Back in the day, I discovered, that visiting a Kirkland Store, would bring me feelings of calm and relaxation due to their astounding ambient scents; for their advantage, I usually stayed longer than planned; of course, I also purchased more items, since they were amazingly perfect for home decoration.

As a real estate professional, I've learned that whether the home is modest in appearance or lavishly decorated, the scent upon entering the home will possibly have a significant influence on a potential buyer's decision to purchase.
