Your Real Estate Agent Will Agree: It’s about Curb Appeal.

There are a couple of reasons that rebuilding a fence before you even start the process of selling a home is important.  The first is simply curb appeal.  People move to West Michigan for many reasons, but the natural beauty is one of them.  If your property has an old fence that isn’t quite what it used to be, it will detract from the attractiveness of your entire property.  Some people that haven’t ever lived with a fence may already need to adjust to the new privacy feature. And plus, dealing with the barrier of an old, decrepit fence as the new neighbors to the block with turn serious buyers off right away.

Security Too.

Nevertheless, a fence can provide added security to families looking for that. An old fence will not provide the secure feeling potential buyers are hoping for.

The Cost vs Value is Worth It!

Rebuilding a fence will also help you get a better price when it comes time to sell your home.  There are plenty of great properties in the Grand Rapids area, and there are many things that impact the property value of each home.  A quality fence will help improve the property value of your home, while one in disrepair will greatly diminish its worth.  In other words, getting the most for your home means making sure that it looks its best.  Often overlooked by home sellers, fixing up that fence is one way that you can get your home looking better than it has in years.

Attract the BEST Buyers.
