Garden Tips Interview with Real Estate Broker, Mela Fratarcangeli & The Financial Benefits of Home Landscape Staging

Recently, I had the honor of being interviewed by El Dorado Hills’ top real estate agent, Mela Fratarcangeli for her ‘Real Talk for Real Estate’ video series. Mela and I sat down and discussed a few garden and landscape tips. You can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N1DgIi4dS8

Mela and her husband, Nick Konovaloff are the broker team at Mela Fratarcangeli Realty Associates and if you are looking to buy or sell a home, they should be your ‘go-to’ agents as they provide a warm personalized service to help their clients get exceptional results.

Mela was actually the agent for the family whom my wife and I bought our house from so I experienced firsthand what an amazing broker she is. I am looking forward to potential future landscape staging projects with Mela and Nick.

Landscape staging is like home staging but instead of the interior, the focus is on your home’s exterior. It can cover anything from landscape features to new plantings to plants in pots and helps to transform the landscapes of homes about to go on the market in order to improve their curb appeal. According to SFGate, “A well-landscaped home has a significant price advantage over a home with no landscaping. This advantage ranges from 5.5 percent to 12.7 percent depending on the type of landscaping and the home's original value. That translates into an extra $16,500 to $38,100 in value on a $300,000 home.” https://homeguides.sfgate.com/landscaping-increase-property-value-7301.html

Thanks again for having me on the show, Mela and Nick!
