Latest York real estate agent Marissa DelVecchio thought she had a hare-larious idea — but for some, it was just an unsettling surprise.
Pictures of a cozy Rochester house on the market showcased the outside and interior, per usual, in its online home listing.
But in a twist, some spaces within the four-bedroom, 2½-bath house also featured DelVecchio as a human-sized Easter bunny with pink ears, buck teeth and a shiny blue waistcoat.
DelVecchio hopped into view looking in a refrigerator, sitting on an armchair and even lying on a bed — all of which divided viewers, who couldn’t resolve if it was creepy or creative.
“We were all getting a kick out of it, and coming up with some creative ideas as to where I may very well be placed in the home,” the RE/MAX Realty Group real estate agent told South West News Service.
“We’ve had a very good amount of showings on the property, which has been great — I’m unsure whether it’s for this reason or not,” she continued. “It’s cool to see how the web has taken it and run with it.”
Despite some negative feedback, DelVecchio thought it was an egg-cellent idea — as did the homeowners trying to unload the abode.
“The sellers were all for it,” she said. “They were laughing at me as I used to be taking the photos.”
It’s not the primary time the ear-resistible real estate agent has taken a festive theme and run with it, having proudly pulled on various costumes — including a gorilla and a Thanksgiving-appropriate turkey — over time.
“If our clients prefer it, we sometimes bring some light-heartedness and fun to what is typically a stressful and anxious process for people,” she shared.
The listing was shared on social media, with Reddit and Facebook users laughing about — or horrified by — the sassy snaps.
“Nope. That’s the thing of nightmares right there!” one user commented.
“No, I might not prefer to buy a house haunted by a ghost rabbit,” one less-than-thrilled peruser added.
“I don’t get why a few of the pictures are cute and a few are killer bunny creepy,” one other groaned.
“That was pretty stressful, flipping through all of the photos, wondering when the bunny was going to pop up again,” admitted one dubious house hunter.
Others thought the Easter-themed photoshoot was a genius concept.
“That’s such a cute idea. Good luck with the sale!” one wrote.
“Sweet baby Jesus that is amazing,” one other joked.
