My Bad...I Should Have Called First...I Didn't Know Anyone Was Home !

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with MoonDancer Realty, Dillsboro,NC NC# 218097
 
When the Office Manager and I were walking in Dillsboro yesterday, I noticed a home for the first time.  It was unusual enough that I thought I'd take a photo of it since the curb appeal was so...well...appealing.
 
The first shot of the front door appeared in the viewfinder and I was happy with it, so I snapped.  Since it never hurts to get more than one shot, I looked through the viewfinder again and there was the owner!  I'm guessing this owner doesn't get surprised by visitors often, more likely it is the other way around...lol.

I think I'll go back again today with the other camera for more detail.

Mona...seeing that spider would be enough to send me running.  It looks like it is claiming squatters rights!

 Do you think it is a short sale? That guy looks pretty short to me.

HI Mona,

OH BOY. Now that's a big spider. I usually don't get excited by spiders but when they can weigh a lot. I generally take notice. I think I would steer clear of this one. It looks mad already.

Have a great day in Dillsboro.

Best, Clint McKie

Anita, don't think for a moment I wasn't startled...just glad I hadn't chosen to use the macro lens yet, lol.

Peter, lol.  Do your clients know what a gem you are?

Clint, you know if the branches move when the spider steps on them that you should be careful.

Roger, I can't wait for Leslie to see this.

Valerie, flowers are beautiful all by themselves and aren't as challenging as the insect world!

She (or he) must have thought you had left.  Usually these spiders are shy.  Great shot and glad you managed to catch the owner at the front door.

Cindy, I hope not too shy...I wanted to go back today with the better camera.  Should I bring a hostess gift?

Mona, now that home looks solid enough to get through an inspection by Jay Markanich!

Wow those are awesome shots. I think I would have shot and ran away screaming all at the same time.

Pat, it is quite the habitat for sure.

Patty, you are so funny.

Gene, he does look like he works out, doesn't he.  I sort of thought about the jumping thing too but was hoping there was too much web screening to give him an opening.

Belinda, I have the feeling that the faster you ran, the gnarlier he'd have gotten, lol.

Hi Mona, I agree with Clint as that spider looks big and mean. I do not like spiders and cockroaches! Be careful if you go back.

Kristin, cockroaches...yecch and gross.  I did go back but couldn't convince the spider to come out.  That's a nice new photo you've got!
