I Could Have Waited

 I could Have Waited 

 

 

Arriving at my new listing, the first thing I did was grab a rake...thinking I will  clear the deck and push the leaves under the railing in no time.

Uh uh....not enough space.

They would have to be lifted over the railing and that was more time and energy than I was willing to expend.  

 

 

Leaves..This is autumn in Baltimore

 

 

The photographer was already there and in order to get the

kind of pictures to show off this property, we would need a

landscaping service.

An executive decision was made to move forward with the

photography...

leaves and all. 

 

Using my WIN philosophy, it was more important to get this,

 custom home, located at

2324 Melinda Drive in Owings Mills, 21117,  

on the market ASAP.

 

There is no secret. This is Autumn in Baltimore.

There are a lot of leaves...live with it.

I guess it's better for the buyers to see what they're in store for.

Hey, Margaret!  This is why God invented Photoshop!  Sure, you want to get rid of the leaves before your weekend Open House, but for the photos, it'll probably be OK!

Smart decision Margaret - the leaves are beautiful and yes, this is autumn - you gotta love to rake or blow if you are gonna buy a house!

This is one house  that only  needs a blower but not a mower. Perfect for spring and summer!

I think you made the wise choice Margaret, it may be sold before the leaves are cleaned up.

Hi Margaret. That's a good example of kind-hearted gestures that go awry.  Oh well, I think they look better raked to one side than covering the deck completely.

Way to go. It's always better to take action rather than wait and miss the opportunity to finish. It is fall after all and leaves are part of the season.

Well, you tried, but I don't think the scattering of leaves looks that bad anyways, as it gives it a natural look.

I had almost the same thing but my leaves were on the roof and there was no rake handy. Oh well, it is fall and it is what it is.

Margaret - I am sure people that live in that area know and understand what the fall is all about. If not, they will find out soon enough. Don't sweat the small stuff.
