Article 5 of a Series. Reprinted from Bob Ulrich’s “Guide to Attracting Buyers”

 So what is your biggest cash crop? If you are selling your home it’s the lawn in your front yard. A neatly edged, green lawn is more important than ever in a difficult real estate market. Taking extra care with your front yard plantings while you’re selling your home will put extra cash in your pocket when escrow closes.

A green tidy lawn is an eye catcher that speaks to Buyers that this is a well maintained home. Creating a green lawn is a challenge in this semiarid region. Fertilize and water your lawn on a regular schedule. Remove thatch using a heavy rake or dethatcher. Try over seeding your existing lawn with  some regular ryegrass to provide a temporary, bright green solution while your permanent grass fills in. If you can’t do these things yourself, consider hiring a gardener. Remember, green on your lawn can mean more green in your pocket.
