moose head

 Jessi Hall at Veterans United Home Loans in Rocheport, MO posted an interesting question on G+ about displaying a trophy moose head inside a home for sale.  Jessi's moose is now famous, if not infamous.  

Jessi drew lots of interestingly differing opinions, ranging from  H__L NO!  to  Yeh, man!

Most interesting to me is whether patterns of responses  align with the observer's perspective (e.g., male/female, rural/urban, stager/non-stager, etc.). 

But, out of all the many differing responses, the one I liked best, and the one that I think says it all (for me), was this reported exchange between a homeowner and his listing agent:

Owner: "It's my home and I'll put  what I want in it."

Agent:  "Yes.  But you want to make it someone else's home, with them in it."

 

 

Here's a tip on how to not feel lonely at an open house...

This is a view of some (i.e., 25%) of the wild animal body parts on display in a listing of real estate in Rapid City  a few years ago (which expired and still has not sold).

I'm not exactly taking sides on this debate over trophy game displayed in listings.  But one could suspect I did not ask the owner to add any of the 23 additional stuffed heads stored in his garage.

Let's have some fun..

Lee, Lose the moose in urban and suburban Silicon Valley.  People around here don't even like seeing a lucky rabbit's foot.  And how do we know they're not really hidden spy cams?
