Yesterday I was out for a quick jog in my neighborhood, Park Lane Estates. It was such a treat to have the sun shining. Especially since I had not had the opportunity to get out with so much yucky weather lately!

While I was out I noticed that several homes in the addition have recently been listed for sale. There are "For Sale" signs in all the usual shapes and colors. Which means there will be plenty of buyers coming into Park Lane Estates to check things out.

How about an insider's view? As an Edmond Realtor and a homeowner in Park Lane Estates I feel like I know what home buyer's want to know about this great Edmond neighborhood.

First the basics. Established in 1990, Park Lane Estates is located in Edmond, Oklahoma near the intersection of Danforth and Santa Fe. Homes in the neighborhood range in size from 1600 to 2400 square feet. However, the majority are less than 2000 square feet. Last year (2009) the average sold price was $142,000 and homes sold in an average of just 27 days! Kiddos in our neighborhood attend Ida Freeman Elementary, Central Middle School, and Edmond North High School.

The neighborhood is very convenient to shopping at Walmart, Kohls, and more. On a sunny day it is not uncommon to see neighbors walking to and from the area stores. There are a few restaurants nearby including Buffalo Wild Wings, Quizno's, KFC, and Papa Murphy's.

We have an active homeowners association. Annual dues are just $85. Our HOA hosts several neighborhood events each year including National Night Out and a 4th of July Bike Parade and Picnic at the park. (The playground equipment at the park was replaced about two years ago.) The addition was even names as a Five Star Neighborhood by former Mayor Dan O'Neil in 2008!

While I hate to see some of my neighbors move, I welcome new friends to our neighborhood! If you are interested in learning more about any of the available homes in Park Lane Estates, ask a Realtor that lives there. Give me a call at 405.615.2796. It's a great place to call home, I do!

My neighbor has one of the most beautiful yards in Edmond. You really should see it. He wins "Yard of the Month" for the neighborhood at least once every year. It is meticulously manicured. The flowers are colorful and the lawn is lush. But on this January day you would never know it.


Are you like my neighbor? Do you spend hours in the spring and summer caring for the landscaping of your Edmond home? Are you the first one on the street to fire up the lawn mower? Do the folks at the TLC and Lowe's know you by name? If so, I know you are proud of all your hard work. Do you have a picture or two of your garden in all it's splendor. Or maybe, a picture of the kiddos playing out back on the grass.

When you are trying to sell your Edmond house in the dead of winter, buyers can not appreciate all the hard work you have put into your landscape. They may not know the beautiful suprise they will have come spring!


As you are preparing to list your house, go through your albums and find those pictures. Include pictures taken in the summer and the spring. Include a picture of the kids playing in the leaves and even a picture of the drifting snow. Put them together in an inexpensive album or binder and leave alongside your realtor's marketing materials. That way as buyer's are touring your home they can take a moment to see what the yard looks like at different times of the year.


If by chance you have the images in a digital format, put them on a disc and give them to your realtor. Insist your agent include the images in the online marketing campaign of your house. Those pictures will say a thousand words about your house and may even make the sale!

As a CENTURY 21 Goodyear Green realtor, all my listings are "Showcase Listings" on realtor.com. That means I have the ability to feature up to 25 images of your house and would welcome the opportunity to show off your landscape in all the seasons! Give me a call at the CENTURY 21 Goodyear Green office, 405-359-7400. Ask for me, Kristyn Grewell. Let's talk about more ways to make your listing stand out from the rest!
