Adventures in Real Estate

By
Real Estate Agent with Atlanta Communities 303302

Real Estate can be exciting! I was visiting a new listing yesterday that is located, literally on a mountainside. It has a really great view from the top. There is just one issue...The home sits down a narrow gravel / dirt road. About halfway up this road you pass a sign that states, 4 wheel vehicles only beyond this point. Hmmm...My Ford Edge is certainly up to the task, I tell myself.

Well, after spinning tires a few times I made it to the property. The photographer and drone operators following me, not so much. They walked up the hill to get there. Needless to say, this beautiful property absolutely took their breath away!

Once inside we were inside, we found at least 10,000 dead and dying ladybugs throughout the house. Apparently this is where ladybugs come to die.

2 hours of vacuuming and sweeping had the home ready for pictures.

The drive back down the mountain was much calmer. I was pleased with my Ford Edge so I think I will hold off on getting a Jeep for now. Real adventures in Real Estate!

Peter,

How odd to see dead lady bugs in a home.  I used to buy boxes for my rose garden in Los Angeles.  They took care of all the bugs for us, and I did not have to spray.  I am looking forward to seeing the photos of this home. A

I should have boxed all these up for you and sent them your way! At least 60% were still alive!
