Kanye and Taylor Swift at the VMAs, Obama in the White House, and the internet without Uber or Instagram — 2009 now feels like some distant, faraway time. And to show just how much things have changed, there is always the latest internet challenge.
In the latest, the so-called “10-Year Challenge,” celebs and regular people alike are posting contrasting photos of themselves in 2009 and 2019 all over social media.
Real estate professionals, of course, didn’t want to miss out on the fun, with agents and even CEOs taking to Instagram to share their own then-and-now photos.
These included real estate stars like Barbara Corcoran, of Shark Tank:

And, naturally, some brokerages also took the resolution with a grain of salt with memes and photos poking fun of the profession.
