[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2875506, member: 26737"] Code3 is a realtor; I don't know how active he is, but he has/had an ad in the classifieds. It's not about being pro- or anti-gun, just like it's not about you--it's about the buyer, and making your house appeal to as many of them as possible. It'd be the same thing if you had a bunch of naughty pictures in your bedroom; there's not necessarily anything wrong with that, but a good realtor will advise you to take them down because they'll leave a negative impression with some potential buyers, which means they won't be willing to offer as much money for your house. Think about it from the buyer's perspective. If you went into a house full of Sarah Brady and Handgun Control, Inc. posters, don't you think that negative impression would negatively impact the offer you'd be willing to put in on the house? Even if you like the property, would you be willing to pay top dollar to someone with whom you apparently disagree? It's simple "supply and demand" economics. You have a fixed supply (one house), so the more demand you can gin up (more buyers), the better price you can command. If you start out by artificially limiting the pool of buyers...well, you can do the math. [/QUOTE]
