If I get rid of the snakes, would your buyers look at the home again?

Real Estate Agent with Century 21 Randall Morris and Associates, Waco

     I was in my office at Keller Williams Realty in Waco talking to some of my co-workers when one of our top agents Jeff Bird walked by on his way out. He said " Dad and I are going to de-snake-ify a house." Dad is Ed Bird, also a top agent in the office. It seems they had gotten a call from an agent who had attempted to show their $500,00 listing in a very nice subdivision of Waco. The house was vacant. When the agent and her buyers walked in, they found 2 snakes curled up! Not sure what kind they were.

     They called Ed and the title of this blog was his response. If you knew Ed you would say" Yeah that sounds like something Ed would say!" He is a cut-up and a great sense of humor. The other agent just laughed and said " Yeah, I think they would go look at it again."

     Jeff and Ed went out there, but didn't see the snakes.

    This may seem scary, but it is typical for Texas. In the spring we see a lot of snakes when they come out of hybernation. And skunks, and other critters. You just learn that if you leave them alone, they will leave you alone and everyone's happy.

Dale, yes. We scare them as much as they scare us.
