MURPHY NC - HOW A DEER CLOSED A SALE

In Murphy, NC we are have a lot of deer. During the Fall I see deer at least 4 times a week on my way to and from the office. I recently had a couple from Florida who I have been working with for several months to help them find their perfect retirement home.


We pulled up to a home which had a creek running along the side of the property. We got out of the car and they immediately walked over to the creek and commented on how soothing the rushing water sounded and how peaceful and secluded the property was. I glanced to my right and noticed what I thought was a statue of a deer bedded down in the grass...

Well.... to my surprise when I started walking towards the statue it moved... I recently read some articles about deer and their behavior and I remember specifically if deer are bedded down do not attempt to approach them because they might charge you... We proceeded to go into the home and when we were in the kitchen my client looked out the kitchen window and notice the doe had gotten up and was moving towards the front porch. Against my advice my client went out and started towards the doe which continued to come his way. My client was about 3 feet from the doe and put out his hand at which time the doe came right up to him. I immediately started taking pictures. I could not believe what I was seeing....

My clients were amazed at what just happened and felt it was a SIGN..... They purchased the property
