Dear Home Seller

Curb Appeal.  In real estate circles the term has been around forever.  In today’s market, the idea has more appeal…and more relevance than ever.

If you are contemplating selling your home now or in the near future, no doubt you’ve played and replayed strategies for getting qualified buyer’s through the front door.  Curb appeal, a favorable first impression that a prospective buyer feels as he or she pulls up to your home is crucial.  You’ll get no second chance to make a favorable first impression. Landscape, your front yard, is where that first impression is made.

Mike Lehmann, landscape architect and owner of the Lehmann Design Group has the eye of an artist and the experience and good judgment of a trusted advisor and consultant to ensure that that first impression is made well before that prospective buyer walks through your front door.

How to do this?

Step one would involve a paid visit to your place to help you identify cost effective fixes that will instantly improve the marketability of your home.  That could involve anything from shrub removal and pruning, tree trimming, hardscape fixes or additions, seasonal color, night lighting or even new landscape plantings.  A possible additional step might be to prepare a written report or evaluation or even a quick design sketch.  Once any action plan is approved by you, you can take it from there or I can it one step further for you to suggest contractors to do the work or even project manage the work start to finish.

As an experienced designer with 40 years of experience in his craft, I know that very often judicious, targeted fixes or changes to a front yard can make a tremendous positive difference…curb appeal to a residential property.

In today’s housing market, you’ve got to stand out from the crowd.  This is essential.  Your investment in modest landscape improvements to increase your home’s curb appeal and value will pay dividends—a purchase offer from a qualified buyer you can quickly and happily accept.

If you worry your place may not have the right front yard pizzazz, give me a call.  The results, even in this current always competitive sellers market will delight you…”sold”.
