Reader's Choice Best of 2013 - Vote for The Mather Company for Real Estate Company of the Year!

5.20.2013

Hi all, this is Hart. I hope everyone is doing well. Well it's that time of year again. For those who don't know or remember, our local newspaper, The State, does a competition each year called Reader's Choice Best Of. In this competition people go through a list of categories provided by The State and vote for their favorites. Unfortunately these past 2 years the company I work for, The Mather Company, has come up short in winning "Best Real Estate Company", but, as you can see from the following picture/link, my boss, Charlie Mather, has won "Best Real Estate Agent" in back to back years (2011-2012)!


Well, the polls are open again for the 2013 year and I'm hoping to see not only my boss get the 3-peat, but our company is setting our sights on winning Best Real Estate Company! That's where you come in: We NEED your votes...as well as your family/friends/acquaintances/neighbors/etc votes! If we win then we get featured in the newspaper. So this is awesome exposure for the company! Now, you may be thinking "Wait a minute Hart, you're a real estate agent too, so I'm going to vote for you instead of your boss." Well, you're welcome to do that. But hear me out. Him having won it in back to back years obviously shows he is capable of winning that title. I on the other hand, highly doubt I can win that title. I would much rather see Charlie win and therefore our company receive that extra exposure rather than people voting for me and I not win and therefore we don't get that exposure. You follow me?

Ok. So the way it works is you'll have to go to the website listed below. You'll need to fill out some information and then you'll see a section called "Categories". In this section you'll see 4 main categories on the left side which are: Entertainment, Food & Drink, Shopping, and Service. If you click on one of those categories a list of sub-categories will appear. That is where you write in your votes. There is a total of 103 categories. In order to submit a vote you must fill out at least 30 of the categories. To make it easier for you I'm providing a list of suggestions. Of course, you are more than welcome (and encouraged) to fill this out with your own choices. But we would greatly appreciate you putting The Mather Company as your favorite Real Estate Company and Charlie Mather in as your favorite Real Estate Agent.
