One of my favorite events every year at Home Creations is hosting the Annual Realtor Appreciation Banquet. We strive to express our appreciation to Realtors who have brought us clients throughout the year and worked together to help many folks find a new home. This year we let some Realtors share their funniest experiences selling Real Estate. The best story involved a Realtor, who upon arriving at the home read a sign that said, “Please keep cat inside.” The cat was not inside. So, they chased down the cat and locked it back in the house when they left….only to find out later, it was not the home owner’s cat!
Realtors work hard, and so we attempted to give them a little time to laugh, reflect on their year, and enjoy each other. Our staff always enjoys planning this event, and since we are celebrating our 30th year of building, we carried out an 80’s theme; complete with a skit about Realtors in the 80’s, an 80’s fads trivia game, and name those 80’s songs!
Just a few interesting facts we discovered planning the 80’s theme…
Gas was $1.50 in the 80’s
Air conditioning units were 8 SEER (now we install 14 SEER)
Realtors used car phones not cell phones
Realtors carried big MLS books to find listing
Houses were decked out in mirrored walls, flocked wall paper, paneling, and brass chandeliers
And the average house cost $80,000.
The food was great, the Realtors had fun, and we celebrated another year of partnership with the most professional people in town!
