ERA EXCEPTIONAL REAL ESTATE One Source REAL ESTAT Office: 570.587.9999 REALTY GEORGE SEMIAN Certified Residential Specialist Direct: 570.313.9299 george.semian@era.com Please give me a good slap and wake me up? is it really Memorial Day weekend???? I thought that I had another week before I could break out my white shorty shorts. I guess the unofficial summer in sub-tropic metro Scranton is finally official. Have you noticed that there are video billboards popping up all over the place these days? I remember my early days in real estate when billboards were around but they never it up the cloudy streets of Scranton, PA. I also remember when I had a bag phone, shared one office computer, had messages on white paper, and waited for all of the new area listings to be delivered to my office in a BOOK that only came out once every 2 weeks.. I think that times have changed drastically in technology including making ourselves look younger by enhancing personal photos even without Botox!! Back in the day there was a person that advertised extensively promoting their business with a huge personal photo of themselves on the billboards. Stunning to say the least were the photos and the boards really did start a precedence in self-promotion in the local area. The billboards were everywhere and the person's mug shot really drew attention to the business they were promoting. I was at a meeting one day and I was introduced to a person whose name sounded familiar OMG it was the person plastered on al of the bilboards!! I thought to myself, who the hell is this??? They looked nothing like their photo and I mean nothing like it. How can a person promoting themselves and a service they are selling look nothing like their photo? The photo had to be at least 15 years old and let's just face it, things on our bodies start to hang every 5 years. So the moral of this story is to update your personal photo every 5 years, so that the consumer that you are trying to reach really knows it's you when they see you at the Burger King drive through, Well, it is a red white and blue shirt weekend so please remember the people that have passed on in your lives.. Also, remember to be thankful to the men and woman who have died for our great country.
