While looking through my old junk, I found this self-promotion advertisement that I mailed out in 1993. That is the year that I went to work for RE/MAX Advantage. Well, the truth is my friends found it and showed it me. They'd saved it because they liked it.
It really is irrelevant that when I began, curly hair styles were "in". I wore a curly wig until I was sure I liked it and then had the frizzy perm. I must say it was the easiest hairstyle that I ever had. Interest rates did shoot up to 18% or above. I loved the double knit suits! What was relevant was the way creative financing had to be used to sell a house. Heck! I was new. I didn't know any better and I just rolled with the flow.
Then in 1993 interest rates were SO low. We thought they'd never be lower. We certainly never planned on subprime where rates were even lower than that and anyone could get a house. Look at the average price of a house in Searcy AR in 1993. We didn't have internet advertising so we used mail-outs for self promotion. We'd probably NOT do that now with postage as high as it is. I also noticed that we needed no area code for our phone numbers. And pagers were the new thing and I had one!
The career has been long and very rewarding.....and fun! Blogging is the new thing and I'm glad I'm in on it!
