Fall Listing: Decorate Your Way to a Home Sale
Fall is such a beautiful season. From the colorful leaves to the crisp, cool air, autumn feels like a time of reflection and new beginnings. If you're selling your home this fall, consider using fall's relaxing vibes to stage your home and appeal to buyers. Here are some ways our real estate agents recommend incorporating fall decor into your home staging plan.
- Add Mums to the Garden Beds
Flower beds can start looking a bit drab in the fall. Make sure you keep your clear of fallen leaves by raking them often. Then, add a pop of color by setting out a few potted mums. The orange, yellow, and red colors of mums are perfect for fall and will draw eyes away from any brown or dormant plants. Leaving the mums in pots saves you the hassle of planting.

Homeowners: Pros and Cons of Adding a Retaining Wall
If you've been looking at some of our gorgeous Klamath Falls homes for sale, you have surely seen some properties that have been beautifully enhanced by retaining walls. Homeowners often ask us whether or not it is a good idea to build a retaining wall on their property. Our real estate agents know that is not a simple yes or no question. There are several issues you should consider before determining your best option.
- Aesthetics
A retaining wall can add significant curb appeal by skillfully sculpting the space. The well-constructed wall is attractive in its own right. With a wealth of available materials such as stone, brick, wood, and concrete, you can indulge your creativity in designing the perfect landscape. Unfortunately, the wall loses that appeal if it blocks a beautiful view. You will also want to give careful consideration to the materials you select. Concrete is by far the most durable option, but brick or stone may be more pleasing to the eye. Fortunately, you can enhance the concrete for a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
