Get inspired by spring scents, Michiana! A thorough spring cleaning can make a huge difference in how your home feels, and therefore, your appeal to potential buyers. According to the National Library of Medicine, “odor information is relayed directly to the limbic system, a brain region closely linked to memory and emotional processes.” Similarly, Precision Healing and Wellness notes, “certain scents can instantly evoke specific memories or trigger emotional responses.”

While we can’t identify the best scent for every potential buyer, we CAN eliminate lingering dust, grease, or grime, open windows to let in fresh air, and create a greater chance to make an emotional connection. Air fresheners may mask odors temporarily, but they don’t address the underlying scents of pet dander or old dirt. A true deep cleaning—covering baseboards, windows, door frames, fans, light fixtures, kitchens, bathrooms, and more—creates an inviting atmosphere that could inspire an offer.

As you celebrate this Irish holiday, remember the legacy of Saint Patrick, who forgave those who wronged him and returned to serve them. We’re grateful for your trust in referring friends and family who are ready to buy or sell. We love serving those who matter to you, because at Inspired, it’s all about YOU!
