I have a wonderful listing at 1658 Patrice Circle in Crofton, MD. The inside of the house is stunning, with all the high end upgrades any family would want.
The outside landscaping was professionally done but took a beating from the harsh winter we experienced here in Crofton, MD. We had several multi-feet snow storms that were particularly hard on bushes.
The seller has moved on and wasn't around to repair the damage to the landscaping. They're smart enough to know that the curb appeal of the property is a critical aspect in this market. Many buyers grab addresses off of the internet and do a drive by before contacting their agent.
Time to bring in the pros for trimming, cleaning, mulching, and adding some Springtime color. The work was done by a former agent and her crew, Angie Byers, owner of Turning Leaf Landscaping, right here in Crofton, MD. Angie understands the importance of exterior staging of a home and the before and after pictures show the dramatic difference.
You only get one chance to impress a buyer when they drive up to a listing.

Richard, what an amazing difference a little tidy up and staging can make. Good luck with the sale.
GOOD MORNING RICH! What a difference a rake and blower can make! Hoping for lots of interest for you and the seller! --Gab
You are so very right on this one my friend! We also call it pride in ownership and first impressions...
I hope your week is off to a grand start Rich,
Paul
You made a great point in your writing Richard. But you banged it home with your before and after pictures.
Curb appeal is essential to prospective buyers'
You've got to get them through the door and what better way than cleaning and sprucing the place up? Good call Rich!
I agree with the fact that the decision to purchase is sometimes made before the prospective buyers even enter the home. Good job!
Nicely enhanced curb appeal and it really did improve the look of the home.
Hi Rich:
Great before and after shots!
What a difference.
Richard, great job. The importance of curb appeal just can't be over emphasized.
Richard,
You make great points. How many times have you driven up to a home only to have the buyers not want to get out of the car. Why???? Because the home is a mess on the outside.
Thanks for reminding us.
Have another great day
Leander
