👉 Realtor fumes refer to the unpleasant odors and lingering smells that can permeate properties, particularly those recently sold or renovated, due to the chemicals used in various home improvement and cleaning products. These can include volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from paints, new furniture, carpets, and adhesives, as well as formaldehyde and other volatile substances released by building materials. The impact is often exacerbated by poor ventilation, leading to a noticeable, sometimes unpleasant, odor that can deter potential buyers and affect the property's resale value. Addressing these fumes typically involves improving air circulation and using odor-neutralizing products.
