RE/MAX looking back. Found in treasure box! Statistics. Searcy AR ad

1993 Advertisement RE/MAX interest rates

Look at this old advertisement that I put out in 1993! 

It was found amidst other treasures sent to my daughter from someone who discovered it and thought she might like to have it.  I LOVE IT!  Note there was no cell phone in this ad but there was a pager number.  Pagers are gone.  Home phones are almost all gone.  And I still work for RE/MAX.  And as Willie Nelson says, "I woke up still not dead again today."

Perhaps it needs an update.  Here goes. 

2018 -    Interest rates are around 4.25%.  Average sales price of a home in 2018 in our MLS for our county was $111,466.  $100,000 mortgage at 4.25% (30 years) - $491.94  P. and I.  That's not bad, is it?  Let's visit about your buying a home in White County AR!

How neat Barbara. I love finding old marketing materials and comparing them to what I'm doing now. I remember carrying around a pager too. Also, congratulations on your milestone!

Debe, the internet has changed so many things for all of us.

Don, we should have invested back then.  I lived in California in the middle sixties but we rented instead of buying.  How much is rent out there now?

I came across some of my original business cards a few weeks ago.  They were vintage 1981.  There was a period of nostalgia that took over.
