When selling your home, don't forget about the landscape. Most of my clients think about the interior of the home, and forget about the exterior. But it's important to remember buyers will do a drive by, and if they don't like what they see outside, you may never get them inside your home. You don't have to spend a considerable amount of money, but you will be incurring some expenses. I firmly believe, it's worth every penny.
Recently, I redesigned my landscape. In a few months, I will be selling my home and I wanted to make sure the landscape will appeal to the buyers. As you can see, it need to be painted, and some of the shingles needed to be replaced.
Not ready for her close-up at all!!
The landscaping was bare, and not at all appealing!!
There were "bald" areas that were definitely in need of some plants!!
All freshly painted. I adding some shutters for visual interest. I even painted the front door!! But I was not crazy about those bushes!!
So I personally removed them. Let me tell you, it looked like I got into a fight with a badger, and the badger won. I was all scratched up, but I felt good when it was all done!!
Now comes the planting. There were many empty areas that needed some plants.
Definitely needed some planting here!!
Hired a landscaper, they mulched and planted both sides!!
So much better!!
Now she is ready for her close-up!!
What a difference!! Landscaping is a vital part of staging. It showcases your home in the best possibly way, offering potential buyers a hint of the beauty inside! When it comes to staging, people DO judge A BOOK BY IT'S COVER. You don't have to spend a lot of money. If possible, you can do a lot of the work yourself, like I did. Hire the professional when you can't do it yourself.
Is your home ready for it's close-up?
