I know voting is important, AND I HOPE EVERYBODY HAS DONE SO 
. . . I recently heard someone suggest that when bad things happen in our country over the next four years we should make sure those bad things happen first to the folks who DIDN'T take the time to vote. Let it happen to those who don't care.
I loved that! But, personally, I must say I would lighten the reprimand to be consistant with real estate.
Hey! I'm no politician . . . just a real estate marketing professional at heart. That's what I know, okay?
And I get it. Not voting is like not having an opinion . . . what happens, happens. So, in my opinion not voting equates to a FSBO!
If you do not select a Realtor . . . you are leaving yourself open to someone else making the decisions and choices
If you do not select a Home Stager . . . someone else is choosing the better presentation
If you do not utilize Real Estate Professionals to do your Internet marketing, here's the question you must consider:
WHO APPROVES YOUR MESSAGE? Your competitor does! (because you are not a threat!)
LIST YOUR HOME WITH A FULL SERVICE REALTOR AND HAVE YOUR HOME PROFESSIONALLY HOME STAGED SO WHEN YOUR HOME POPS UP ON THE INTERNET-- YOU CAN SHOUT --
I am selling my home, and I approve this message!
Side Note and THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
What if the political television ads in the elections would require the message to be approved by the opposing party . . . hmmmm . . . interesting thought. That would stop some misleading advertisements!
I think I'll vote for that!

Karen- I approve too! And yes, I did vote :)
