Re/Max Sunset Realty in Bayonet Point-Florida- Balloons are Us!

Re/Max Sunset Realty in Bayonet Point-Florida- Balloons are Us!

Our Broker, David Longspaugh, decided that Re/Max Sunset Realty needed its own personal balloon so he bought several of these for us to use at Open Houses or community events. You just plug it in and it blows up: unplug and it folds down to a easy to carry case.

What got our attention was the velcro in the white section under the Re/Max sign, I’m having a banner made up with my name and phone number on it for when we do events. Other agents in the office can do the same so that it is personalized for all of us.

Won’t that get someone’s attention if they are looking for a home?
Neat, huh? David is very happy with his new advertising toy. So are we!

Dear Toni -

Aren't Alexandra and Ron funny!
Given its size, at least you don't have to worry about going up in the balloon!

Have a happy day -

Toni, that would DEFINITELY get the attention of passers by! Having your name & number easy to read will sure to get some calls --- GREAT IDEA. I guess I need a HUGE stop sign, as that it the logo for Metro Brokers!

The RE/MAX balloons are great for broker opens and open houses. Be careful to have them secured on windy days.

Blooming for you!

Toni,

Your Broker is AWESOME! What a thoughtful and clever idea and I love that he shares it with the agents from the office and he doesn't use it for his own personal gain and/or benefit. As a result, that makes you and other agents lucky!

I love your RE/MAX Hot Balloons, but this one is scaled down to fit the events and I think that's important!

Jason - thanks! That's what it's all about.

Joan - that might be a great idea!

Roy - you bet it will be secured.

Patricia - he is really a great guy and always trying to think of things to help us. And, this is more of a mini balloon! Thank you.

Thank you everyone, David is a great guy. I can't wait to use it. We are going to set it up at our SPCA event Saturday.

Sheila- I love that huge balloon. Rode in it once a few years back when I was with a different Re/Max. (Only up and down). Have fun with it this weekend.
