Realtors who don't specialize in working with investors will often misunderstand your requirements and get tired of working with someone who isn't going to make a quick, emotional decision over a super cute fireplace or kitchen backsplash or whatever.

Some of the stuff I’ve learned involved staging the house, such as proper lighting, opening blinds, making the most of various amenities the house has which in my case was having the gas fireplace lit, the backyard waterfall running, positioning furniture to make the rooms appear more spacious, occasional spritz of air fresheners, and in the winter time a nice apple pie candle lit in the kitchen.

I have an older relative who uses one of those electric fireplaces so she feels warm, technically it is a space heater and not allowed but they look the other way. 

For instance, 10+ yrs ago while my wife and I were shopping for our first home together, we visited a house that had 3 very memorable traits:1) The attached garage had been converted to a gigantic living room/man cave with the biggest TV I'd seen at the time, several couches, a pool table, dart board, foosball table, and a huge wood burning fireplace.
