Help repairing and preparing estates for sale in Greenwich CT. and Fairfield County CT. The grounds and landscaping are important.

Greenwich, Ct, Fairfield County Ct. home with no foundation plantingsOften, we at Turning Point Estate Services are called into situations where there is a great deal of neglect involved. For what ever the reason, be it financial, lack of enthusiasm or just plain loss of physical ability, the previous owners have let the place go downhill prior to or after their exit. We evaluate the current state of the entire property, recommend, implement and oversee whatever needs to be done to get the house and grounds looking presentable.

One of the more frequent items on the list of neglected chores and upkeep tends to be the landscape surrounding the home. It makes sense from a financial and a physical ability standpoint. If money has become tight, the first things to go are the non essentials. Shrubs will not keep food on the table, the rain from seeping in or the cold from chilling their bones. It would be best to allocate funds toward groceries and heating oil. If they have experienced a loss of mobility and energy, just getting in and out of the house may be all that can be done anymore. Maintaining the yard became a low priority.

When an executor or trustee of an estate calls us in to assess and

The yard is the first thing that anyone sees whether they are potential buyers or just neighbors walking by. First impressions can be the most lasting ones of all.

We can make the neighbors happy to live near the property again AND, catch the eye of those uber picky buyers.

Hi, Peter.

     Landscaping is Everything.  If the house lacks Curb Appeal, the Buyers may not even get out of the Car.
