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. The children will then assemble for a balloon history presentation. “We enjoy providing the RE/MAX balloon at community events,” said Jean Vermillion of RE/MAX Advantage. “Kids, especially, love seeing a hot air balloon and we’re pleased to be a part of the educational process. Hot air balloons have continued to delight all ages since it development in France in 1783,” she continued. The RE/MAX balloon, seen often at festivals and sporting events throughout the year, is one of four RE/MAX Hot Air Balloons stationed in Michigan. RE/MAX currently has the largest corporate fleet of hot air balloons in the world with more than 90 RE/MAX Hot Air Balloons in North America. The red, white and blue balloon is recognized worldwide as the corporation symbol for RE/MAX. RE/MAX Advantage is a franchisee of RE/MAX of Michigan, the regional real estate franchisor for all territories outside of the Detroit metro area. RE/MAX of Michigan currently serves the state with 94 offices and more than 1,000 Sales Associates. |

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.
