The Scent of 'Sold': How Olfactory Staging Closes Deals in Luxury Real Estate
EAD MANAGEMENT E-COMMERCE

You stage a home visually with furniture and art. But if the house smells like "Empty Room" (paint, dust, drywall) or "Old Owner" (cooking, pets), the emotional connection fails. MadeByU by Triefta creates "Olfactory Staging" for multi-million dollar properties. We turn a "House" into a "Home" before the client even steps inside.

The "Turnkey" Psychology Buyers decide in the first 7 seconds.

  • The Strategy: We delete the "Construction Smell."
  • The Scent: White Tea & Thyme (for Modern Minimalist homes) or Warm Bread & Vanilla (for Classic Family homes).
  • The Effect: These scents trigger the "Nesting Instinct." The buyer doesn't smell a product; they smell a lifestyle. They subconsciously visualize living there.

Masking the "Hidden Deal-Breakers"

  • Problem: High-end condos often have "P-Trap" issues (sewer gas smell) in unused bathrooms.
  • Solution: We use localized neutralizing diffusers in wet areas to ensure the bathroom smells like a 5-star spa (Eucalyptus & Mint), not a plumbing problem.

The "Closing Gift" When the deal closes, the realtor gifts a MadeByU reed diffuser with the home's scent.

  • Why: It anchors the positive memory of the purchase and keeps the new homeowner connected to the realtor's brand for months.

Conclusion Visuals sell the features; Scent sells the dream. Don't leave the most emotional sense to chance. Close the deal with MadeByU.
