2. Faster sell or rental through 'curb appeal'
Real estate agents also universally acknowledge that properties with strong curb appeal, through better external aesthetics from green spaces, sell faster than those without. Properties with high curb appeal can see significantly higher interest levels from potential buyers, which can translate to quicker sales and as stated in our first point, higher offers.
