I was showing a home to a wonderful young couple last week. This couple had two beautiful young girls ages 3 and 4 who were with us at the showing. The couple and I had all looked at the MLS listing and pictures on the internet. The home looked great. (We all know how that goes, right?)
Anyway we entered through the front door into a very nice foyer with a dining room to the left and a study to the right. Very nice and I am starting to cross my fingers. We viewed those two rooms and transisted the rest of the way through the foyer into the living room. All of a sudden the three year old starts screaming, crying and pointing at the right wall. Naturally all three of us adults turn our head that way and what do we see.....yep the big cowhead on the wall. It was huge....I mean Texas HUGE! It was so big you almost didn't notice the broken bicycle leaning against the leather couch. My buyer wife is starting to look just a little unhappy about this time.
Now as long as we are here we might as well check out the upstairs just in case there is something really nice up there. Remember now that "really nice" is a subjective term. Up the stairs we go and what greets us at the top of the stairs? A bear....a real big stuffed bear. Can you say crying child again? I almost got run over by the wife and kids as they bolted down the stairs.
The morale of the story? The cow and the bear did try to eat Goldilocks but she ran away and won't be back to buy this home or don't stage your home with dead animals.
Have a great day!
Ron
