Resodd To Increase Home Sales

Resodding lawns to increase a home?EUR??,,????'???s resale potential is a typical home improvement step featured in real estate selling TV shows. Landscape contractors can use the promise of ?EUR??,,????'??instant green?EUR??,,????'?? to sell landscaping services to home sellers in tight markets.

John Shorb, president of John Shorb Landscaping said: ?EUR??,,????'??Instant green is always good.?EUR??,,????'??

?EUR??,,????'??Eighty to 90 percent of buyers are looking at houses online,?EUR??,,????'?? declared Realtor Ellie Shorb, citing a recent statistic put out by the National Association of Realtors; she added that buyers drive by the houses they?EUR??,,????'???ve seen on the Internet. ?EUR??,,????'??The lawn makes the first impression. If people don?EUR??,,????'???t like what they see (on the outside), they?EUR??,,????'???ll drive by and won?EUR??,,????'???t even come into the house.?EUR??,,????'??

?EUR??,,????'??Perception is reality - that?EUR??,,????'???s why exterior landscaping is so crucial,?EUR??,,????'?? added another realtor. ?EUR??,,????'??If the lawn is manicured and there?EUR??,,????'???s mulch and flowers - all of this says that the current owners are taking care of their property. If the exterior is taken care of, the buyers will think the interior has also been taken care of.?EUR??,,????'??

Landscape contractors can visit online real estate sales site, such as Trulia.com, to find homes (with pictures) for sale in their work area. By locating the homes with poor lawns, contractors can target their marketing more precisely.
