What a Tree Check Before Listing an Upstate Home Can Catch Before the Buyer's Inspector Does

Post Copy

Mature trees are one of the first things buyers notice when they pull up to a home in Greenville or Greer. Healthy shade trees add curb appeal, but a dead limb over the roof or a tree leaning toward the driveway can show up in an inspection report and become a negotiating point. Many sellers don't learn about a tree problem until a buyer's inspector or insurance company points it out.

A look from a Certified Arborist before listing can catch the issues buyers worry about most: deadwood over the house, limbs rubbing shingles, roots lifting a driveway, or decay at the base of a trunk. Some fixes are as simple as a prune that makes the house more visible from the street. Others, like removing a declining tree near the home, are easier to handle on your own schedule than in the middle of a closing.

A clean, healthy canopy also photographs better for the listing. If you've bought or sold a home in the Upstate, did trees ever come up during the inspection or negotiation?
