Snakeskin at front stoop as staging prop?

Is this a new organic staging approach that didn't get enough publicity? Is it a local Cary, NC, thing, or is it featured on "Divine Design?" Or some other HGTV show? "The Stagers," maybe?

Showed a home with multiple challenges today, and at the side of the front stoop was a skin shed from about a 30" snake.

Buyer pointed it out and laughed. A lot harder than Mrs. Buyer did, by the way.

We had a nice chat about copperheads, vs. rattlers, vs. water moccasins. What fun!

The things you remember from a day on the roadshow...

HAHA - That's a technique we probably won't try.

Wow! I would love to see a picture of that! Snapone for us and share it with us! Great story, though:)

Hmmmmmm.....

Syreeta,

Do you suppose a 60" snakeskin would attract buyers with deeper pockets?

Courtney,

I REALLY wish I had grabbed the old Kodak and taken a photo.

LOL

Mike, you probably should have pointed out that there wouldn't be in mice or rodents around.

Guess that house is pretty easy to nickname!

Nick,

Good angle. But obviously you didn't see the rest of the house. No one would believe it.

David,

I'm thinking "Slytherin."

Did you tell Mrs. Buyer that snakes mate for life? Where there's one, there will be another...

SarahGray,

Sure I did! You have to build all the value you can!

LOL

Mike- Tell them they can get a free pair of snake skin boots when they buy the house!

Nevin,

Or at least a couple of hat bands!

NOV

"multiple challenges" - I can only wonder, if the first of those challenges is a very, very large snake.

Penny,

We'll leave it at the snakeskin. :D
