increasing demand for dedicated fragrance free realtors and fragrance free real estate

I went fragrance free a few years ago to protect my health, and everyone in my life has done the same (we all feel better since). One thing that we all need though, is realtors and real estate agents who are also fragrance free and will only show or list fragrance free properties.

Scent free is a gigantic market that is growing like crazy, yet not enough real estate agents are serving demand. Fragrance is considered the new secondhand smoke, and buyers want properties that are clean, not scented. I’ve refused to buy houses I would have otherwise loved because they lit scented candles and plug-ins and the smell was awful and never comes out, just like a smoker’s house. Everyone I know feels the same way—no one will buy a house that has had scented products in it. Even scented laundry products are making entire houses stink now.

Anti-fragrance is the same as anti-cigarette, people feel very strongly about protecting their health, their kids, and their pets from the thousands of toxins in scented stuff. There are even class action lawsuits in the United States against businesses using scent diffusers and fragrances, pretty soon it might be a liability to list a house that is scented because it could cause an asthma attack in clients or other realtors.

Basically scented products all cause major health harm, and people are tired of it. This is currently a market that’s not being served, and those who break into the business early are going to make a lot of money.

The fb group Fragrance Free Living 100% has daily posts from people self listing fragrance free properties, and people asking for fragrance free real estate agent referrals. A lot of people are also working together to create completely fragrance free neighborhoods. Scent free is a huge market, but agents aren’t paying attention yet.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

How to get started?

Hi! I’m 23F and I just graduated college with an english degree (😅) but i’ve been working in nonprofits since I was 16 and lucked into an amazing first job with an one of the biggest and best real estate non-profits! I love my job so far, but it’s my first time being surrounded by such wealth (and very hard working, deserving individuals.) To be quite honest, I‘ve had a rough few years juggling multiple jobs to finish school, and the idea of myself not living paycheck to paycheck seems light years away. This is all being said, I guess I’m posing the question towards the group of what I can do now to start building that kind of future for myself. I find real estate very interesting, and i’ve loved learning about all the machinations behind development- I’m just not sure where to begin within the industry (investment/rentals are definitely not an option for me yet). I’m also looking to go back to school, but being that I don’t know where to start, I wouldn’t like to begin classes aga...
