Are there any restrictions on what i can smell during a virtual tour?

I get that question all the time. Although it depends on the formula, there may be chemicals in fragrances and related products that have been determined to cause cancer in occupational environments or in laboratory animals. Excursions that allow you to make your way through a city. These immersive travel experiences ask you to follow your sense of smell.

Like smells, the way a house lights up can be the kind of small detail that will come back to haunt you after you move in.

Virtual tours

won't detect cracks in the wall, broken tiles and mirrors, scratched surfaces, faded walls and floors, or even old appliances that look good on the screen. Even if you run into virtual tours that include taking a look at the driveway, that's not enough to tell you what the neighborhood you'll be moving to will be like.

Some of the most unpleasant smells in a home are trash, pet smells, mold, and cigarette smoke. The potential safety benefits of virtual visits cannot be overstated, especially during a pandemic, when any in-person activity involves some risk.
