Smoking inside of a home – does it matter when I go to sell? Yes, a thousand times yes. If you smoke inside your home each time you do you’re wasting away the equity/money from your investment. It doesn’t take long for the smoke smell & nicotine to work it’s way into the fabric, paint, furniture, rugs, curtains, etc. Getting the smell of smoke out is not easy and many times will take a professionals help and or costly repairs like replacing the carpet, repainting the interior of the home, cleaning the air vents, etc. If a buyer walks into your home and it smells like smoke you will lose them and they will move onto the next home, many times without even viewing the property. #smoking #sellingaustin #holidays #austin
