I'm not the only one who bakes cookies for house showings! It's a great way to make the house smell nice and to make a good impression on potential buyers. Plus, it's a fun tradition.

Just got into real estate and I've never heard about this. Can someone help me illustrate why would someone bake ONE cookie? lol at least bake a tray.

It's not just you! I always bake a cookie for my house showings and my guests always compliment the smell. One lady actually gave me an offer because it was so nostalgic to her, she said it reminded her of being young and living at home with her fmily.

I definitely do this all the time. It's a great way to make them feel welcome and at home. Plus, it's a delicious way to get them excited about buying your home!

This is THE number one tip for realtors. Your house showings will smell deliciously, people will be excited about it, and it actually gives people a better perspective of what they're seeing. I think there's a study on it somewhere.

I properly cook a batch and put them out for the clients. Makes them feel a bit more at ease and puts them in a better mood. I want them to associate as many good feels with the property as possible.

I am on notice period with Tata Consultancy with 2 months remaining with an offer in hand where the joining date is just after notice period ends. Now, I got early release from current company and thus, I saved 2 months. But I want to use these 2 months for travelling, upskilling and looking for better offers instead of contacting the new company for early joining. So, if I join the new company after 2 months will this be considered as a 'gap' in my profile in the future and will it be harmful?

3 tips I always give to first-time home sellers that make my work easier:

1. Try professional photos. You have one chance to impress possible buyers. Use it wisely.
2. Be flexible with home showings. Maybe your possible buyers won't appreciate your house's potential if there are dogs running around or too many people inside.
3. Respond promptly to a purchase offer. Some people don't have much time to wait for an answer. Be quick and responsive!
