Simple Trick to Boost Value

As we find ourselves smack dab in the middle of the usually intense Spring selling season, you may be wondering how to best add your house to the market. As it turns out, there’s one simple decision you can make that offers a huge return-on-investment and requires almost no work on your part. No overwhelming renovations, no costly upgrades… just one simple thing. 

What Is It?

It’s hiring a lawn service. That’s right! At the end of the day, putting your best foot forward really does come down to curb appeal. According to a recent report from the National Association of Realtors, homeowners who invest in professional lawn care usually see over 200% return on the investment. 

After all, the very first thing a potential buyer sees upon arriving at your home is the lawn and front exterior. They usually know within just a few seconds whether they want to enter the home or not, so making that first impression as appealing as possible only benefits you. Additionally, it keeps the neighbors happy and gives you a peaceful and calm abode. Even if you decide not to sell at all, you benefit from having a well cared for outdoor space. 

Opting for lawn care can be as simple as one-time care or routine monthly maintenance. Focus should be spent on weed care, keeping flowering trees and shrubs blooming, and keeping trees pruned and healthy. If your preferred lawn care company isn’t equipped, they may be able to recommend an arborist to come do a tree health check. Your yard will thank you!
