JeanJeanTheRealEstateQueen is bringing the Re/Max Hot Air Balloon to: Spring Valley Elementary School Weather permitting, a special 50-foot tall RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon will make an appearance Friday morning, May 30, for a special program for the students at Spring Valley Elementary School, Kalamazoo, MI, courtesy of RE/MAX Advantage and RE/MAX of Michigan.
 
 The balloon meister will tether the balloon outside for the students. If the weather does not allow a tether, a “huff & puff” cold air inflation (without a heater) will be given.

Hot air balloons have continued to delight all ages since it development in France in 1783,” she continued.

For Sale By Owner >Finding Buyers
When a home owner tries to sell "By Owner", they commonly use two basic marketing techniques to advertise the property. They place a "For Sale" sign in the front yard and a classified ad in the local newspaper. When a seller lists their home with a professional real estate agent, however, a very sophisticated process is set in motion in order to facilitate the home sales transaction.
Real estate agents have a backlog of prospective buyers for the homes in their market. Through the Multiple Listing Service, the agent cooperates with other brokers in the area who will show your home to their prospective buyers. Professional real estate agents also combine direct mail, telephone calls, and specialized advertising techniques incorporating media such as the Internet, to reach the sales market. In this way we create activity on our listings that help them to sell quickly--and for the best price.
