Curb appeal transformation - is it worth the money?

You be the judge:

Exterior Front Before:                                                                        Exterior Front After

 

Here is a close up of the garden:

The after photo does not even do the landscaping justice. There is a lovely Japanese Red Maple and a Weeping Cherry tree along with various red and green shrubs.

Home staging really begins at the curb. This is a lovely home but before you could not even appreciate how pretty it is because of the overgrown trees in front. With a minimal investment this home has turned into a swan. The total cost for ripping out the old trees, installing more than 15 new trees and shrubs, planting flowers, edging and mulching the garden was only $1600. This 5 bedroom colonial is due to hit the market on Monday. Hopefully it will sell quickly. The inside is just as pretty as the exterior!

Buyers can SEE the house now -- what a fantastic transformation!  I love the new landscaping and buyers will too.

I would say this was LONG overdue! Smart stager to have given them the advice to landscape. Gives the home a whole new look. A NICE new look! Great curb appeal now.

Maureen, nice to see you back! Super transformation. Anyone that doesn't believe in curb appeal, will never sell their house ;)

Curb appeal is extremely important!  It looks like a new home.

Fabulous photos!  You can't sell it, if you can't see it!  Great transformation!!

I know some people like their bushes tall for privacy, but when selling, it is such a distraction, and buyer's would pass this one right up, due to lack of curb appeal.  Sellers don't realize how important curb appeal is.

Hey, Maureen - I like the second house better than the first. Oh, wait. They are the house! Vast difference. To that kind of a job, I have just three things to say:

  1. Maureen rocks!
  2. Maureen rolls!
  3. Maureen rules!
