We placed our house on the market last August and were represented by an agency for six months. We decided not to renew our contract as we weren't entirely satisfied with the agent. In short, we were tired of doing all the work ourselves. And, in the six month's time, we never received a single offer. Granted, the market and the season were not on our side. Nevertheless, we decided to give another Realtor a try. This time, we are working with the agent who represented Alex when he bought this house in 2001. Having worked with her previously, he knew that she would be aggressive and proactive, two very desirable traits in a real estate agent.
In preparation for putting the house on the market again, we put a lot of effort into tidying up and primping the yard. The front yard facelift is detailed on an
earlier post. Below are some before and after shots of the back yard.
Here is one view of the back yard as it appeared last summer:
The same view, today:
Again, a perspective of the area about seven or eight months ago:
And now, it's pretty and tidy and inviting:
Oh, and yes, that was a truckload (almost literally) of marigolds that we planted. They certainly are cheerful, though.
