โจ Crown North Realtyโs Throwback Thursday ๐ โจ
๐๐ CAR PHONES! ๐๐
Remember when being reachable meant having a PHONE INSTALLED IN YOUR VEHICLE? ๐๐
Before smartphones, Bluetooth, texting from the driverโs seat, or โIโll just FaceTime you.โ ๐ฑ๐คฃ
Back in the early 1980s, car phones were the ultimate symbol of cutting-edge technology. ๐๐โจ And they didnโt come cheapโsome cost $2,000+ at the time! ๐ฐ๐ณ
For REALTORSยฎ, being connected was a HUGE advantage. ๐ก๐ Imagine heading out to show a property and knowing your clients, office or fellow REALTORSยฎ could reach you while you were on the road!
And this throwback has a special connection to real estate. โค๏ธ
๐ธ This is a real photo of Dennis Krzewski, Toronto Real Estate Board Member and loving father, pictured circa the early 1980s.
Dennis was a true technology enthusiast, which is where we at Crown North Realty get our love for the latest technology. ๐๐ป He was also a successful real estate broker involved in selling some of the first car phones to hit the market. ๐๐
That made any REALTORยฎ with one of these cutting-edge devices one of the most tech-savvy REALTORSยฎ around! ๐๐๐ก
Now THAT is a REALTORยฎ who was ahead of his time! ๐
Today, we carry more technology in our pockets than those early car phones could ever have imagined! ๐ฑโก
โWant to be a REALTORยฎ who is ahead of their time? Join Crown North Realty, where we embrace the technology of TODAY and tomorrow while remembering where our industry came from.
