Creating Curb Appeal in Fremont, Pleasanton, San Jose, by Clyde Brown, Fremont, Pleasanton, San Jose Real Estate Expert

It is said you don't get a second chance to make a first impression.  This is especially true when selling your house.  Curb appeal is a major factor that draws the buyer out of their car and into the interior of the home, according to real estate expert, Clyde Brown, of Legacy Real Estate & Associates.  An appealing and welcoming landscape is a subtle message to the buyer that this is a well maintained home.  It is the first thing a potential buyer sees when approaching the house.  Think of it as your home's calling card.

Creating and maintaining curb appeal and well designed landscaping does not have to be expensive.  If a professional landscape architect is not in the budget, don't despair.  There are some simple tasks the average homeowner can do to improve their landscaping.  However, some consideration should be made regarding hiring a professional landscape company.  Real estate experts in the Fremont, Pleasanton, San Jose area agree a well landscaped property sells quicker than one that is not landscaped, or is in poor condition.  Speak with a real estate expert about your property - it may make financial sense to invest in professional landscaping in order to bring in a higher selling price. 

Revamping a tired landscape or creating a totally new landscape begins with the lawn.  Of course make sure the grass is mowed.  Get rid of weeds.  Straighten out lawn edges.  Older yards tend to have lawns that creep and crawl over the driveways and walkways.  Use an edger tool to create a tidy line of separation.  Older houses in the Fremont, Pleasanton, San Jose area tend to have mature trees, shrubs, and plants.  Be critical of overgrown shrubbery.  If they have passed their prime consider just taking them out and replacing them with a fresh, more size appropriate shrub.  If there are bare spots in the lawn, fill in with grass seed or grass seed patch material.

The lawn is the first element of landscaping to tackle when improving the curb appeal of your house to achieve a quick sale.  More information about how to improve your home's curb appeal can be found at http://www.ClydeBrownHomes.com.  If you would like suggestions on how to improve you home's curb appeal before putting it on the market, contact Clyde Brown at 510-371-4237 or email at Clyde@ClydeBrownHomes.com.
