- Hi Friends, Leigh Brown here with some tips for selling a smoker's house in Concord, NC. In this video, I discuss the challenges of dealing with cigarette smoke damage and odors. I share my top recommendations for removing smelly furniture and fabrics, using charcoal to absorb odors, treating walls with Kilz primer, and more. Be sure to watch to the end for important advice on whether to sell a smoker's house as-is or do repairs first.
Dealing with a smoker's home can be a daunting project, but with the right strategies, it's possible to significantly reduce odors and tar damage.

Thank you for being so gracious regarding smokers and addiction.
Great information. You have a fabulouse sense of humor!
My parents smoked rather heavily back in the 50's-70's. After Mom had numerous heart attacks and strokes, they both quit. I even smoked for a while. After a small kitchen/utility room fire, and pros that came in to repair/paint....the paint would not "stick" to the walls, it would just run down the wall just like you described! They tried several different times over the years, but it never looked right. It was semi-gloss in the kitchen and that didn't help! My sis was able to use Kilz and that finally helped!
This is so true. I like buying new cars and not someone else's because of their smoking addiction. The car dealership lies all the time about resales.
Worst is doggy odor.
I bought a car that had a suspicious floral scent and in no time at all after that floral scent faded the putrid odor of doggy butt overwhelmed. Especially on hot humidity days.
My mom smoked in my grams house. I kept telling her to go outside. After my gram passed we cleared out the house and the walls were a light sky blue, the original color was behind the pictures and the exposed walls had a yellow tint, it was so gross. The realtor didn’t even mention the smoking. We did retexurized the walls and my mom didn’t smoke in it after that but I feel like she was lucky that no one complained about it after.
Great info!!!
True, watching. from n. calif. We also have a Concord . best wishes
There is a powder one can add to paint, which I've used and it did work.
Great tips - some additional thoughts (e.g., KILZ) I didn't consider when I listed a smoker's house in 2007 as the market was crashing! Also have had to deal with cat smells that I didn't notice until the furnace kicked in at an open house!!
If the morons had used a cat box there wouldn’t have been a smell! People are dumb! I’ve had cats my entire life and there was NEVER a cat small.
I bought a smokers house. you wouldn't believe the tar on Every surface. the first thing i did was rip up the carpet.
If you family moved out of the home. The seller needs to do the repair to put the home in the market. If not and its sell as it is and no future. Can the seller have a opt for staging the home and staging a home is costly but it works
They can smoke outside or the garage
It still get inside...

This is absolutely shameless. It should be illegal to sell a house that has been smoked in for years without disclosing it. We got conned like this by a realtor with no ethics.. they did minor works so we wouldn’t notice the house had been smoked in and it cost us thousands and years to fix the odor which came back after we moved in. Not to mention the health issues we didn’t sign up for from living in a house where the insulation is filled with cancerous tar. People who do this should be in jail and you should be ashamed of posting this as a realtor.
Painting with kilz then new paint or replacing sheetrock is standard practice, not a scam. That is what a professional would do.
Slightly dramatic to be sending people to jail for cleaning up the house so there’s no sign of smells. Get a life
It’s not meth. It can be taken care of.
@@DKilgallen buy a smokers house and get back to us... its doable but wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy
@@user-ye6on6cz9y I have purchased one. Carpets looked new for 30 years old but they smelled. Wallpaper replaced. Wood sanded and restained and refinished. Furniture replaced. Paneling covered with new drywall. KILZ and amonia and new drapes. New kitchen floors. KILZ again. Ozone machine. Vacuum ductwork. New air filters. The list goes on…. But it CAN be done. And worth a try to save a house worth saving.
Sell it to another smoker. I rented a townhouse years ago that had been heavily smoked in. They covered up the smell with cleaning chemicals, bleach, and other stuff and when I asked about why the chemical smell was so strong they just said we do a thorough cleaning job. I asked about smoking and they lied and told me no it was not a smoker. The chemical smell wore off inabout 3 weeks and it was so freaking obvious that the place had been smoked in heavily that I went to my next door neighbor and asked her and she admitted yes that person was a smoker. I tried to get out of the lease but the company would not budge. Sad to say but we live in a world of dirt bags now and it's pretty much every man for himself. Your best defense against the world of garbage humans is accumulating massive amounts of money and hiring an army of lawyers and accountants to keep a buffer between you and the skanks.
If you don't like it, Open up your windows 😂!
Thank you for being so gracious regarding smokers and addiction.
