I finishing up a building located in Lincoln Square in Chicago that is set to close and they are installing the cedar fence right now as I write.  This builidng has a new rubber roof on it, new electrical wiring, and tonight I'm sitting here running the punch list and I'm getting flooded with calls.  You know the call

"Tell me about that property". 

Ah, people it's sold.

"But the house is so lovely, we want it."

I have another one coming in.

"With that fence?"

The fence?

"That fence is so beautiful.   Will the other house have the same fence?"

Now people, I'm thinking, if all it took was a cedar fence to be installed, I'd be planting those babies in every last one of my client's yards! 

What it take to sell this property?  Curb appeal and a sweet back yard.

So what does your fence look like?
