Proper Balloon Placement

I have a question for the Realtors out there. As I drive down 30-A I see balloons on for sale signs that are deflated, pooped, missed matched etc. Do you think if there was a uniform code for proper balloon placement that real estate market would gain in strength?

At first glance I would say that the balloon in the back ground is in clear violation of the new "Balloon Code." It would appear that the string is to long. In the event of rapid balloon air deflation the balloon would be on the ground posing a threat to small wild life. Bobby do you think you should give DEP a ring and get the State's opinion? :confused: Other than that I think they look great. Full of air flowing freely just like the contracts.

Bobby may have to recuse himself from giving an opinion on this one. ;-)

I am puzzled about the distance betwwen the two balloons. I also hope they are not real estate related. Help me out SJ.....:idontno: My call is we do not call DEP. If these are Real Estate signs call The "Tacky" Patrol! I will pop immediately.... Tell me where SJ!

Good Job Bobby. If they need to be popped then do so.

I think I have it figured out.... SJ, no need to pm me.... If we all back away from the Balloons none of us will be forced to use them. This thread has helped me overcome the urge to use a balloon for promotion! Ever!

Got it! They really need to move that house. Seems to be an ok price but Bayfront is dead this year. Bayfront seems to have been worse then anything I have seen.....:idontno:

I think it would be more funn if there was just helium on-site at the open houses. :razz:
Just post a sign. "Helium inside" The everyone can just suck some in and tour the house. Much more interesting.

Ballon's don't motivate anyone to stop....that is for novices! A motivate realtor would choose to rent a Hooter's girl's to hold up the sign! :wub: Now that is how to sell real estate in a down market! (that is a hint Bobby J)

"Hello. What's up sexy? Thanks for calling Hooter's."

"Yes, I am a Realtor and I would like to order three Hooter's girls to hold up signs. How much do you charge for three girls for 4 hours each?"

...

"What time would you like them to show up and may I have the address?"

Now we are talking increased property visibility, foot traffic and sales! Could you send them dressed up in those cute little christmas outfits to One Seagrove Place Unite 803 this Saturday from 9AM-4PM. I need two to hold the signs on 30-A, and the other one to show perspective buyers around my condo :clap_1:

I think you would have more foot traffic if you got Santa and one sexy elf to hold a sign that read, "Come inside and see more sexy Elves!"

All kidding aside that is a great idea about "Hooters" girls. Take a step further to reduce the rental cost I am going to buy some Hooters outfits and have the agents wear them. I know there are some hot young agents out there needing a sale. Bobby who should Chair Hooter recruitment?

This is too dangerous a job for just anyone. I probably should handle this job myself. Unit 803 One seagrove will be the location. I will get the time later. I will let all of you know how it comes out and who I pick. 😀

Do you need a assistant? For safety reasons of course.

No balloons, no Hooters girls, no helium-huffing, no bells, no whistles, no runs, no hits, no errors......here's a unique idea: Lower the da*m price.

Unless of course you're wanting to pay months & months & months of carry costs--in that case, shoehorn your arse into a some orange hot pants and start blowing up the balloons.

It maybe a little to sensitive to bring in a witness... oops I mean assistant. I appreciate your concern but this is my job and one I handle with great pride.
