Got curb appeal?

Yes, you read that right but let me clear up for you what I'm talking about!

Does your house have curb appeal? One of the services Gill Gardens offers is garden clean ups and upgrades for those that are trying to sell your home.  Often homeowners will spruce up their home's inside with either furniture staging or a paint job- but what about your home's curb appeal?  

Two years ago my wife and I were shopping for a home here in El Dorado Hills and Folsom. I clearly remember pulling into the driveway of a house that was for sale and imagining- could we call this place home? How do we feel when we look at the outside of the home and its surrounding yard and garden? Does this place feel like home? 

Recently I was hired to clean up the garden of a beautiful home that was on the market. By spending some money on the garden of this home, the house curbside appeal immediately went up, which in turn increases the perceived value of your home and what you could sell it for. 

After we finished cleaning up the garden, the home's first impression was that of a nicer welcoming impression! Just like the paint job or some furniture staging- setting up what a potential buyer sees first could make a huge difference in how they feel when they imagine themselves living there. 

So if you're selling your home, ask yourself, does it have curb appeal? If you're not sure, ask your real estate agent- one we love working with is Mela Fratarcangeli. Ask4Mela.com

 If not, let us help you change that! Maybe it's just:

• cleaning up the existing garden.

• adding some new flowers and plants.

• planting the window boxes or flower pots on the front steps.

• making some small changes to your landscape design.

A small investment to your curb appeal can increase your return on your investment. 

Impressions are so important for making your home feel like the buyer's idea of "Home Sweeet Home!”
