I am absolutely giddy. After being bombarded by every forwarded e-mail out there regarding one candidate or another (most of which are untrue according to Snopes), after being covered in an avalanche of televisions commercials (most of which are sort of untrue), after hearing 3 debates in which all information was the same, and after watching my real estate business stall after the Wall Street debacle and bail-out, I AM OVER IT! 

 

I’ve been tired of all this campaigning (using obscene amounts of money that could probably do a greater good spent on something else) and mad as everyone else about the bail-out. So what have I done about it all? I VOTED EARLY! None of this political chatter matters anymore. Lalalalalalalalalala……..I can’t hear what you are saying, Candidates. I can turn you off in my brain. I don’t need to have any more information about you.

 

Now I can look forward to business picking up. I believe it will after the election. It doesn’t matter who wins, it just matters that it will be over. This housing disaster won’t begin to resolve until the election is over. At that time,  I believe the real estate business will begin to move again.

 

This is no time for my Pollyanna attitude. I know very well that we are in a really big pickle. It will be tough for all of us the rest of this year, but it will get better. I encourage all of you to think positively about the future of your business. People will always need homes. People get transferred. People get married and set up new households. People retire and buy something else. In my little corner of the world, all I need to do is have a few sales and I survive. I’ll worry about making my fortune after this is over.

 

Why don’t you all go vote early? I promise, it’s liberating. Free up your brain for a couple of weeks and enjoy the rest of October!
