RE/MAX Balloon Fleet. A great fundraiser even in the winter! Find out more!

RE/MAX Balloon Fleet

A company image seven stories tall. Multiply that by more than 120 and you have one of the largest fleets of hot air balloons in the world. Across North America and increasingly around the globe, the red, white and blue balloons emblazoned with the RE/MAX logo participate in balloon meets, highlight charitable and business promotions, and drift above athletic events.

And as the size of the fleet continues to grow, images of the tricolor RE/MAX Balloon logo multiply through every visual form of advertising and promotion. The RE/MAX Balloon, its logo form, and the accompanying "Above the Crowd!®" slogan are equated in the public mind with the RE/MAX organization.

Promotion and Advertising

Besides highlighting promotional events, the RE/MAX Balloon also appears at local community events such as fundraisers, fairs, parades and more! A special program, known as Challenge the Wind, has been created as well with the sole aim of introducing school classes to the art of ballooning. This educational program is geared toward Grades 4 through 8 and teaches children the aeronautics of hot air ballooning.

Chris Mooney: New England's own Balloon Pilot

RE/MAX of New England owns two "BIG MAX" hot air balloons, which are available for our Membership at no cost. BIG MAX flies 365 days a year and makes appearances at balloon festivals, town days, community, road events, office grand openings, and more! On average there are 150 promotions and balloon appearances each year.

Our Hot Air Balloon Pilot, Chris Mooney, has been a crucial part of the RE/MAX family, piloting the Balloon since 1986. Chris first began flying balloons in 1977 and when asked what he thinks the best balloon events are, Chris states "The larger the event, the more effective it is going to be. The presence of the balloon is so powerful that a lot of people think that it is our event. In addition to these events, the "Challenge the Wind" school program can generate a lot of exposure in the local newspapers. It has been my experience that local newspapers love to hear upbeat stories about schools and the special programs for children."

Contact a RE/MAX office to see when BIG MAX will be in your town! BIG MAX is available for fundraisers and events even in the winter! Contact a RE/MAX office in your area for more details!

Appraised value, Assessed value, Market value, list price & more!

Depending who you are talking to about the price of a house you have to be clear what numbers you are using. If you're not both referring to the same lingo, you could each walk away from the conversation thinking different things and not knowing it. Here are some definitions that may be helpful.

Appraised Value

The Appraised Value of a property is an opinion of the value of a home prepared by an Appraiser. His opinion is based on a number of factors or methods of determining the value. He will look at things such as recent sales of similar properties, replacement cost and his own knowledge of the local marketplace. Lending institutions will typically use the appraised value in determining the total amount of money they are willing to lend when the property buyer is applying for a mortgage.

Assessed Value

The Assessed Value of a home is the value determined by the tax assessor for the local city or town. This value is used by the municipality to determine the amount of tax that the property owner must pay. The Assessed value will often be multiplied by a mil (Millage) rate to determine the actual tax. In other words if the property has an assessed value of $100,000.00 and the mil rate is 5, the tax on the property would be 5 X 100 or $500.

Market Value

The Market Value of a home is the probable price that a house will sell for if it is put on the market. It is determined by an analysis of the market (usually by a Realtor). The analysis should include looking at similar properties that have sold within recent times as well as looking at similar prices for homes currently on the market. In addition, if done properly, the analysis should also include those homes that were put on the market but did NOT sell, and were withdrawn.

List Price

The List Price of a home is a number assigned by the seller when he puts his home on the market. It is essentially what he hopes to sell his property before. It has no formal mathematical relationship to the actual market value of the home. In determining the list price, any reputable Realtor will recommend that it be very close to the Market Value if the seller wishes to sell in a timely fashion.

Sale Price

The sale price of a home is the actual price that the home most recently sold for.

Berlin NH: ATV trail holds big dreams for N.H. city.

By KATHY McCORMACK The Associated Press - Published: November 8, 2009

 

A 4.5-mile trail for ATV riders running through the northernmost city of New Hampshire may be key to putting the North Country community, still suffering from the loss of its paper mill industry several years ago, on the path to economic recovery.

The trail connects the 3-year-old Jericho Mountain State Park on the west side of Berlin, which has numerous all-terrain vehicle trails, with a large trail network in the unincorporated township of Success east of the city. The connector trail through Berlin, which opened Saturday, allows for 100 miles of ATV riding.

Berlin and economic development officials hope the trails will be a huge draw for ATV enthusiasts, who don't have a lot of riding options in New Hampshire and surrounding states, and for new businesses, including hotels, gas stations, and stores.

"We're struggling to find ourselves here with the demise of the pulp mill," Berlin Mayor David Bertrand said. "We're looking to open up some options, and this is one of them."

There are some bright spots in Berlin: A new federal prison is expected to open next year. Two electricity plants that would burn waste timber from the surrounding forest also are planned.

For years, Berlin was known as an industrial city. It once had a population of more than 20,000 in the 1920s, but now has fewer than 10,000 residents. The city seal showed a smokestack, part of its heritage as the home of paper mills. The 100-year-old pulp mill closed in 2006. This year, the smokestack was taken away from the seal, and mountains, evergreens and a river were added to emphasize the area's natural beauty.

"We see ourselves differently now as being maybe recreation-oriented, but we need to build that infrastructure, that draw to have people come here," said Laura Viger, the city's community services director. She said the city opened up sidewalks and streets for snowmobile use in the winter about six years ago, and that has been a benefit to local tourism and businesses.

A goal for New Hampshire's North Country, the most rural and least populated region of the state, is to build up an ATV trail system. In Gorham, less than 10 miles away from Berlin, the state has proposed opening sections of a former rail trail to include ATV use and connect it to Jericho State Park and the Success area, as well.

Chris Gamache, trails bureau chief with the state's Department of Resources and Economic Development, said the majority of ATV trails statewide include secluded pockets of trails with little or no connection between them. To create a network in the North Country, the state needs to first negotiate with private landowners and timber companies.

Vermont has faced controversy over a proposal in that state to open some parts of state lands to connect riding areas for ATV users on private property.

In Berlin, Randy Cicchetto has seen his ATV and snowmobile business grow with the rising popularity of the state park and expects to see that continue with the new trail connector, which also passes by restaurants and convenience stores. In the few years since he opened his store, he's been getting more calls to rent and operate ATVS from Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, even some from overseas.

"It's the whole package," he said. "This is going to attract a lot of people up here who enjoy the sports of ATVing, snowmobiling and dirt biking. They'll all have the opportunity to come up here and use the park and ride across town."
