What NOT to do - Part 2!

2. DON'T HAVE FRIED FISH FOR LUNCH

Last summer on a visit to some homes in the "central" part of Toronto, my client was eagerly anticipating a look at a certain bungalow. It was in the area she wanted to live in and well within her price range.

Our appointment was around the lunch hour and I was surprised to see that one of the sellers was present to greet us on the front porch. After formalities were exchanged, she let us enter her home.

We were greeted with the most wonderful aroma of freshly fried fish! OMG! We survived the tour of the property relatively unscathed. Except that our clothes, we noticed later, still smelled like catch of the day.

So when it comes time to sell your home - no fried fish - no cooking at all!!!

If anything - bake some cookies or bread and fill your home with aromas of shortbread or chocolate chip cookies!
