Question:
“Does it make a difference when you sell your home if the neighbor’s property is unkept and ugly? The house next door is a rental and the lawn is a mix of dead grass and tall weeds. The paint is peeling and the garage door is broken. How much will that impact selling my home?”
Answer:
A lot.
I suggest contacting the owner and nicely asking them if they’d be willing to do some fix-up. If they hesitate, I suggest you offer to pay for some of it.
If you don’t have the owner’s number, send a letter. Ownership is public record and can be obtained through the tax assessor. If you need help, give me a call.
