Also here is my 1 hour class from VAR Convention on using Video for Realtors for FREE.
Hello my name is Frank Borges LL0SA, broker for FranklyRealty.com and I'm once again on the ballot for the Northern Virginia Association of REALTORS NVAR 2010 Board of Directors election. The electiontakes place during the month of September 2010. There are 5 open spots, and 9 people are running.
Want Frank to win?
VOTE FOR ONLY 1 PERSON (Frank). No it isn't anti-patriotic to use only 1 of your 5 votes.
At first it might sound bad to tell you not to vote for 5 candidates. Let me explain. Last time I got a few hundred people to vote. They didn't know who the other people were. They were forced to vote for 5 candidates, but effectively diluting the vote for me by 80%! This year they changed the rules. So unless you really have an affinity to another candidate running, I ask that you make your vote MORE powerful, and...

3) Let me know you voted! And get 5 friends to vote.
For those of you that already read my main blog.FranklyRealty.com , I welcome you to say great things about me in the comments section below.
For those of you that came via www.choosefrank.org (mentioned in the NVAR Magazine), I will link you to some of my most read blog posts, so you can get a better idea for how I view real estate. These views I will take with me to the board and help shape the direction of NVAR for the next two years. A direction that embraces technology, and empowers NVAR Realtors to be more efficient and more profitable, while increasing our reputation in the community.
Here are some of my "best of" blog posts, targeting consumers.
I have also given free classes on blogging and photography at NVAR (ask for a link to the audio and video for those classes).
I hope you will put a comment here if you know me, and feel like saying nice things. If you are an NVAR member and you have a question, feel free to email me directly or post a comment here.
If you are going down to the 2010 VAR convention, I will be teaching a 1 hour class on video marketing.
If you would like to help me win and be a satellite campaign manager for your office, please email me!

Good luck Frank. We have our General Membership Meeting today too. We must show up in person to vote. I am not up for re-election this year but will attend to vote for the agents I feel would best serve our entire board.
WE talked about on line voting this year but it was voted down.
In Ann Arbor Area board IF there are 5 spots, you must vote for all 5 or the ballot is not counted.
Frank, I just voted. Interesting that after you vote they show you the percentages that each candidate has received so far as if it was a survey. This doesn't seem like the right thing to do after submitting a ballot. However, at this point it shows that you have 7% of the vote. It's still early in the election season.
Hey Frank,
Good luck I'd vote for you if I could! By the way I saw a great speaker at our local Board yesterday, www.terrywatson.com. I told him about your site and he is going to check it out. Could you do me a favor an email me the buyer broker agreement you use? I'm customizing our form and am looking how you worded the whole commission issue. Thanks!
Hi Frank -- I've seen your accolades and people would be crazy to not vote for you. I was a realtor when I lived in DC and I would gladly vote for you if I still lived there. You rock!
Frank, I think you are great and so giving of your time and knowlegde to other agents. I voted for you because I think you would make a wonderful board member and bring a fresh outlook. I hope you win!!
