Would you pick your North Barrington Realtor from a deck of cards? I doubt it.

So are you going to pick a politician, judge, governor and whoever else from just looking at this? Aside from the fact that most village ordinances do not allow signs like this on the village easements, I have to wonder why Politicians think this is going to help them.

This was just one corner of a busy junction in North Barrington, 2 more were just the same.

The mere fact that these candidates advertise this way appalls me. What a mess!



Over the last few weeks all I have listened to is candidates on TV tell me why I should not vote for the opposition. Or they tell me what rules and ordinances they are going to reverse because they did not think it was right. None of them have told me anything about what they are going to do or how they are going to compensate for that reversal decision. They all tell me they can fix the budget - just not how. And now they expect me to see a name on the corner of a street and go and vote for them.

Well I have news - I will not vote for anyone based on their attacks on the opposition - I will not vote based on seeing a name on a sign that makes my neighborhood look extremely untidy - I will not vote. Actually I cannot vote - I am not a citizen - yet!

As a Realtor I expect my future clients to pick me for what I can do for them.  I certainly would not expect a customer to see my name on a sign and say that I am the right person for them. I want them to interview me, find out about me and my services and make a decision based on the knowledge I have provided. I abide by the Realtor Code of Ethics which states:

Article 15 REALTORS® shall not knowingly or recklessly make false or misleading statements about competitors, their businesses, or their business practices.

Good luck voting day - whenever that is - I honestly do not know, I guess I don't need to. I look forward to seeing these signs go - either that or or local snowplow can cover them up!
