Many sellers and real estate agents include photos of wild animals — either from a game camera or photos the sellers captured — in online property listings. The practice is one method sellers use to make their Maine homes stand out and attract buyers who may come from urban areas and are looking for a more rural place. Having wildlife nearby and the photos to prove it can make a home a “lifestyle property.” Some people relocate to Maine because they want plenty of land and access to the wildlife that come with it. Wildlife can appeal to animal lovers. But photos of deer, moose, turkey or other game also can entice avid hunters.
