Yes it can, I have a client who has a white picket fence. It is a nice picket fence, but it is an obstacle for people to view the appearance of the house. Other houses along the road do not have it, and while it may be nice for the dog or the animals, the fence is an obstacle for a prospective buyer.
Now a fence in the backyard to hide the neighbors and create privacy, those are great and they work. Who doesn't want to hide from their neighbor's dog who wants to bark at anything that moves? Or the neighbor with a little bit too much stuff? Nope a backyard fence is a sales tool.
So I asked the client to ask a handyman to take down the fence and store it in the back. Perhaps the new owner will want the fence for him or her self. Not a bad fence, but it just limits people's imagination. When selling a house, you need to be open to the ideas of your Realtor. This idea came from my Broker, and it will help get more traffic and lead to a quicker sale.
