Up and Away (almost) in the ReMax Balloon!

February 15th, 2009 categories: Fun for Kids

** please note that we are keeping this post at the top of the blog for a while so after you watch the video please check below for our most recent posts

Crisp autumn air, Carolina blue skies, a pastoral setting what else could you ask for? Well as it turns out a little less wind would have been nice! Last October the Charlotte Premier Realty team Donna, Betsy, Rhonda, Jackie and Blake invited clients and their families to an old fashioned picnic ~ great food, games and yes the famous ReMax hot air balloon. Almost everyone (some were understandably more interested in the watching than the riding) was excited about the chance to ride in a real hot air balloon! While the windy day dashed those hopes ~ we did get to see the balloon, learn from the expert  and watch as the propane jets spewed fire 20 feet into the air! (which was enough for all the boys & men in the crowd)

As we watched the video we could not help but  realize just how close we are to our clients and how much we enjoy their company. We work very hard in our client’s best interest so it was really nice and a bit humbling to hear the nice things that were said  ~ we hope it’s what sets the Charlotte Premier Realty team apart.

We can not thank our friend Cristina Cassidy enough (Rhonda helped Cristina & Ray buy their Charlotte home last year) for creating this video. We were very lucky to have Cristina an exceptionally talented local filmmaker capture the fun, warmth and friendship of that afternoon. Cristina is busy with some amazing projects please check out her Stick it To Me (you’ll never look at a  bumper sticker the same) and her short trailer for her upcoming  hauntingly poignant documentary Concerto for Two Brothers - her work is stunning and soon to be award winning!

So thanks so much for everyone who made it out to the 2008 picnic ~ we loved having you ~ we hope to get the balloon and do it again in 2009 ~ we are all due for calm day don’t you think!

   Very Nice blog with a ton of informative information. Can you recommend any decent forums or social groups to join that cover these types of topics. Also, I really appreciate the fact that you approach these topics from a stand point of knowledge and information instead of the typical “I think” mentality that you see so much on the internet these days.

   I am impressed by the effort that went into your writing and the way you managed to keep the flow from Introduction of the topic to the summary. Do you think you might cover recent developments in marketing online or what are your thoughts about that.

   I look forward to reading more from you. Have a great week.
