A favor

To my wonderful subscribers, I have a favor to ask...

My house hasn't been cleaned in ages as I've been so busy, so i'm hoping one of you really wants to come over and scrub my toilets for me. Takers? No? How about pulling the weeds in my yard that have gone crazy with our Oregon rain? No, again? I can't believe you all are turning down such golden opportunities to help me out.

Okay...how about this?

Every year our local newspaper has the best of the Willamette Valley nominations. There are a bazillion and one categories, and of course, best real estate agent is one of them. Independents never win because we can't compete with all the agents at the large firms voting for their own. So, this year, I'm trying to change that. I'd LOVE it, if you guys could take a minute to cast a vote for me in the Best Real Estate Agent category. There are a bunch of agents nominated from many different companies, so if you have a minute to scroll down, and give me a quick vote, I'd appreciate it.

See, compared to cleaning toilets and pulling weeds, a couple of clicks is super easy. I'd upload images and make this all pretty and enticing for you, but AR won't let me..."bad gateway."

Done. In our area, you have to pick ten from the list, and you can only vote one time from any IP address. Best of luck!

It was easy... weeds growing? It is Spring sometime today but you will get no sympathy or weeding from me... we do not have weed for a few more weeks. We probably still have a snow or two to go but I voted. Of course you are the best.

Thanks for your help guys!

Mimi,

I really would prefer that they would do it that way here. It's kind of crazy how they do it.

Voted! You sound like me to the kids: you have two choices, you can do your homework or go clean the garage as practice for a life in menial servitude".

Done voted and I have the daily ritual going Melina. I hope you'll be so kind as to possibly cast a vote my way for "best use of social media" under the Professional category. Pretty please?! We're also excited to have nominations under Best Customer Service for AmeriTitle and Best Annual Event for AmeriTitle Idol - competing with the Oktoberfest so hmmmm... I do wish there was no daily voting allowed on this - it's exausting and would just make more sense to have people cast their one legitimate vote and see how it plays out. All my best to you and congrats on the nomination.
