I was driving down a nice residential road when a house caught my eye. It wasn’t the beautifully manicured lawn or the old southern charm of the wrap around porch. It was the six political signs dotting across the front yard like lawn gnomes!
I am all for exercising your free speech, even on your front lawn. The problem I had with this particular yard was that hidden among the political signs was a for sale sign! I almost past by the house without even realizing it was for sale. Is that what you would want YOUR potential buyer to do? NO!
Not only were the political signs too much of a distraction to see the for sale sign but let’s face it…we don’t all agree on our politics. Wouldn’t it be awful to turn off a potential buyer simply because you held differing political views? I am not saying it is at all right for someone to judge your house based on this, but the reality is there ARE people that do, and that person that does, may be the one person who would otherwise make an offer on your house!
My suggestion, sport a lapel pin showing your political support and leave the signs out of the yard, at least while your house is on the market!
