Realtor's kids dress up as unicorn, dinosaur to help sell house
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}One Kentucky realtor has two special helpers to thank for her “busiest open house” ever — her young son and daughter, who dressed up in inflatable dinosaur and unicorn outfits to help sell their mom’s old house.
On Sunday, Lynn Keyland hosted a bustling open house for her two-story brick cape in Lexington, the Lexington Kentucky Leader reports. The sale is especially close to her heart, as it was the first home she ever owned.

Inspired to make the listing stand out, Keyland enlisted backup from her son David, 12, and daughter Vanessa, 10, according to WKYT. To that end, the funny mom had her kids dress up as the fantastic creatures for the official listing photos, which featured the youngsters doing everything from mowing the lawn to checking the mail, sitting on the toilet and hanging out on the couch in the full-body, inflatable costumes.

“[The effort is] something near & dear to my heart as I was once one of the homeless children residing (at the Salvation Army’s Emergency Management Shelter in Lexington),” Keyland revealed. “YOU can make a difference, no matter how small the donation to this LemonAiD stand to support our local homeless children, all while empowering young people to make a positive difference in our community.”
