- How do I make sure treatment is done before the photographer shows up?
- Have it scheduled backward from your photo and listing dates, with ventilation time built in. Share those dates on the first call.
- What if buyers still smell it at the first showing?
- Odor that returns usually means a source was missed or new odor built up. Ask what was treated and what conditions, like a damp crawl space, could bring it back.
- Is chlorine dioxide safe to use in a home I'm selling?
- It's used in a vacant space under controlled conditions, then ventilated before anyone returns. Ask for preparation, dwell time, and re-entry details before scheduling.
- How do I avoid surprise charges?
- Get a written quote before anything starts, and ask to be told before anything new, like carpet pad that has to go, is added.
- Can my agent handle access?
- Often, yes. Many treatments are coordinated directly with listing agents.
