Homeowner Tip: Keep Improving Your Landscape

A beautiful landscape is not only something nice to look at, but it will benefit you financially as well. Putting in some extra effort into your yard and landscape will pay off (and put more money in your pockets!). Our Balboa Realty team are the experts in Orange County Property Management and we want to share our secrets with you. 

Think of your rental property as a reflection of yourself. You always want to work to present yourself in the best light possible and it's important to apply this thinking to your yard. When trying to attract potential renters and buyers nicely manicured yards immediately set the tone for the entire house. If yours is looking fresh and gorgeous people will want to come inside and hopefully live there! When your property looks "market-ready" this in turn will help attract more buyers and renters, increase your rental or asking price, and help you qualify for a higher credit line.

Having a well maintained yard will not only impress renters, buyers, and agents, but it can inspire your neighbors to also put a little extra effort into their yards and before you know it you're whole neighborhood will be looking picture perfect. This group affect will work to your advantage as living in a nice looking neighborhood helps increase the worth of your house.  

As the internet becomes an increasingly important tool for property management and real estate, it's important to have high quality photos that catch people's attention and make them want to learn more about your property. When your property looks great then you will have the edge and stand out from the competition. You will also attract the best quality renters and buyers who will want to take care of your home and keep it in tip top shape. Often, when you put a little extra effort into maintaining your landscape potential renters and buyers will stop and take notice and you will have a list of people hoping to move in. When you are renting your property, you will then be able to hand select exactly who you want to be your tenant and this will eliminate your vacancies and stress.
