Prop 100: Arizona Realtors must Educate the Media and the Public before Nov. 4th, 2008

With just 49 days until election day I'm surprised more people are not aware of the new tax being proposed. What bothers me more is we, the Realtor population are not out there doing something about it. Many homeowners face challenging financial situations already, this would just add insult to injury. Now's the time to rally our efforts and voice your opinion about an issue that will dramatically effect you and your community.

Start by learning about the Protect our Homes Initiative as soon as possible. And after you're armed with the details get on the phone to your sphere. What better conversation starter is there than this and better yet what homeowner wouldn't want to know about it. You would now be more than just a Realtor. Or perhaps you're new to the business, going door to door to educate homeowners face to face would go a long way to building relationships which could turn into something more. If you market to a farm area this topic could be the title of your next mail piece. Obviously, the options are limitless, but we must ACT. In addition, at the Prop 100 website marketing materials like yard signs and bumper stickers are available that are free of charge. Use these free tools to promote yourself and this cause. Time is running out!

Let's come together and teach the public to vote "YES" to Protect our Homes from Double Taxation.
