And if you find cigarette smoke a pleasant odor, then that's definately a difference of opinion.

You are correct it is a difference of opinion. And for you to consider your opinion to be any more valid than that of someone else is the epitome of arrogance.

A simple comment that you do not care for the smell would have sufficed instead of the purposely utilized words to convey you find your opinion to be superior.

The smell of cigarette smoke can be washed away. The filth and stench of bigotry and intolerance goes to the bone.

THANK YOU! Glad you can keep your composure AND have the best "shut up" line on the thread!

No, its the factual basis of reality. A house that smells like an smoke and has tar stained walls does, by and large stink to the buying public! I know you won't want to believe it, but even SMOKERS don't want to buy a house that smells of smoke if they have an equal house that doesn't. Thats reality.

Oh please, get off your high horse... biggotry? Biggotry? Pointing out fact isn't biggotry! Houses that stink of smoke and whos walls are caked in tar and whatever else the smoking has leached into the building do not sell for as much or as quickly as houses that do not, that is just pure fact. Its not biggotry its reality! And trust me, you cannot, in any way shape or form wash away smoke stains from paint and walls... all the scrubbing and cleaning agents in the world will not remove it.

You are welcome to smoke, I could care less, but to stand up and try to argue that a house that shows the obvious signs of smoking by its owner will command a high price and sell just as quickly is crazy in all but the very hottest markets, is just a denial of reality.
