Kristin's Blog: Real Estate - Then VS. NOW - An interview with my dad ~ Part 2

Real Estate - Then VS. NOW - An interview with my dad ~ Part 2

Last Sunday was the first installment of my 4 part series intereviewing my pop, Fran Moran.  If you missed it, you can catch it here:  Real Estate Then VS. NOW - Part 1

Thanks for all your comments & encouraging words.  My folks even found my blog & made a comment! As you know, in honor of the month that Father's day is in I interviewed my dad to get his feel for Real Estate - Then Vs. Now. This week my dad is talking about how buyers have changed (or haven't!), customer service & mobile phones (or lack therof!). 

So, here we are again, week DOS!

Get to know my dad, learn something about old school Real Estate - Then VS. Now & THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS FOR TECHNOLOGY FOLKS! ESPECIALLY this week!

Hey Kristin, That was fun to watch. I remember when I started that the older agents talked about the mls books and the way they used to do business, but as your Dad says some things never change.

K,

We still had the book around here in 1998 and people were fighting to keep them and didn't want to go to the mls on a permanent basis.  I think we still have some folks carrying their pager.  :-))

I remember those ten  pound phones, we carried our in a bag with the extra battery, we thought we were the cat's meow. One thing we know folks will always be looking for a home to buy or sell, some things never change; its the process.
