As soon as a potential purchaser gets to a new home, their first impressions will linger long into the future. It is no secret that landscaping, curb appeal, and the style of the architecture play a role, but lighting influences the initial impression more than any other factor. When a homebuyer sees excellent lighting on the property, it means the owner cares about quality and meticulous attention to detail from the very beginning.  At Abulous Lighting, we provide professional landscape lighting installation in Atlanta, GA for commercial and residential clients throughout the area. Here are just some of the reasons why your home will be appreciated when professionally lit.

First Impressions Are Made After Dark

The majority of buyers do not limit their search for dream homes to daytime visits. The nighttime preview drive, the twilight showing appointment, and photos taken at dusk all have a place in today's search for real estate. What makes a home stand out is to have an exterior that radiates warmth and charm even in the dark hours, giving an instantly memorable first impression. Excellent outdoor lighting can accentuate the building features, lead visitors to paths with its glow and color combinations, creates a truly impressive image, whether seen through a camera lens or on foot.

Lights Speak Volumes About Safety and Security

Beyond appearances, potential buyers pay close attention to safety considerations when choosing their next home. The use of bright, strategically placed entryway and pathway lights, along with garden accent lights, creates an aura of protection. Parents are especially keen on well-lit homes, with no dark areas on paths, staircases, or walkways. In this regard, a well-conceived landscape lighting installation shows a potential buyer that the current owner was mindful of these aspects.

Features of Outdoor Living Areas

The modern real estate market has seen exterior living space increasingly desired by potential buyers. Exterior spaces such as patios, decks, gardens, and swimming pools are well-lit, making them feel like an extension of the interior space. Carefully placed outdoor lighting highlights these areas with string lighting, pendant lighting, lighting along paths, or other accent lighting that help potential buyers visualize enjoying the space and its beauty. In contrast, a poorly lit backyard space can make the entire property disappear during the night walk-through tour.

Value Added Through Professional Landscape Lighting

Where there is basic outdoor lighting, it pales in comparison to the property that has been enhanced through professional landscape lighting. Buyers who see such an improvement understand that they do not have to add something that is missing because someone else added the feature prior to the sale. This value makes buyers more excited about purchasing the home, and sometimes they offer more money because of this value, which adds up in the end. There is nothing more attractive to a buyer than an outdoor lighting installation that has energy-saving LED bulbs and controls.

High Return-on-Investment Prior to Marketing Your Home

If you're a homeowner planning to put your house up for sale, then you need to know that having landscape lighting installation prior to marketing the property is among the best investment options. The cost may be affordable compared to the impact it makes on potential buyers. When you use the services of Abulous Lighting, we provide innovative lighting installations to enhance your property and create a memorable impression on all your prospective buyers.

Absolute Lighting installed my outdoor flood lights 2 years ago and they are beautiful! They did such a great job that I used them to setup and take down the Christmas lights for the past 2 years. I would highly recommend them. Frank always responds to questions and automatically puts me on the schedule for set up and take down of the Christmas Lights.

Frank and the team at Abulous were great to work with. They came out and retro-upgraded some previous lighting that we had done a few years back and made it look as seamless and continuous as possible. They also worked with us on the best (& most economical) way to light up a hard to reach area of our yard. They also followed up with us after we had another group of workers "disturb" some of the lighting wires and came back out and fixed everything back up again. Very friendly, dependable local resource who do great work. Highly recommend.

After reviewing multiple companies we contracted with Abilous Lighting to create outside accent lighting for our home, backyard patio, walkways, & fire pit.  Their ideas and design were the best!   It was a pleasure working with Frank Hasty, who did  the design, and his crew of Brandon & Rusty who performed the work.  All were excellent to work with.   We are very happy with Abulous Lighting.
