RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon
History of the RE/MAX Hot Air Balloon
All brands are represented by something. Whether it is a swoosh that symbolizes one of the biggest brands in the world, a set of golden arches that represent a company that can test even the strongest of will powers, or a balloon that represents one of the biggest names in real estate, icons are arguably one of the most important parts of any brand.
At RE/MAX, the balloon represents so much more than just the company. The balloon represents the hard work and dedication put forth by each and every RE/MAX agent, allowing them to soar high above the crowd. It represents that they will go above and beyond to help you find your dream home, and shows that when you want to work with the best, you know who to turn to. The RE/MAX brand is not only a leader in the real estate industry, but is widely known as having the most productive agents in the world.
About the RE/MAX Balloon
The RE/MAX Balloon is one of the most widely recognized symbols in North America and was first seen by spectators of the Albuquerque Hot Air Balloon Festival in 1978. In North America, there are approximately 100 RE/MAX Balloons engaged in promotional programs, with millions of people witnessing this strong corporate symbol each year as it flies high above them in the sky. The RE/MAX Balloon represents an excellent opportunity to create awareness and promote goodwill in the community and takes thousands of people on flights each year.
Have you Spotted the RE/MAX Balloon?
As such a strong symbol, we love to see our happy homeowners enjoying the RE/MAX balloon as it flies above them. Sponsored by RE/MAX offices and agents, the RE/MAX balloon can be found at community and charity events across Canada. RE/MAX offers tethered hot air balloon flights—weather permitting—to thousands of people every year! If you spot the balloon, we want to see your photos!

I worked with Debbie Elliott at RE/MAX to sell my home in 2025. Within a couple of days she had 4 offers to present to me. My home sold over asking price. I couldn’t have been happier. Debbie was great to work with, and easy to talk to. She got the job done. I highly recommend Debbie at RE/MAX.

Debbie worked with my wife Kim and I to sell our property at Folly Lake in 2024. She met with us and we discussed the best pricing model and marketing strategy to maximize our return. She did a fantastic job representing us, created great marketing materials and introduced us to local recourses to help close the sale. We had to return home to Ontario following the listing and Debbie managed the unusual and challenging process to final closure while keeping us fully informed. We were very pleased with the result and Debbie's commitment to her role.

We worked with Debbie Elliot to both buy and later sell our home. When we were buying, we had some unusual circumstances that could have made things tricky, but she helped us navigate everything and we were able to secure the house even with other interested buyers. She also helped us sell our home during a tougher market and kept the process moving. Overall, we appreciated her experience and guidance through both transactions!

Our experience with Debbie was just the best, she was friendly, attentive,
tenacious and so easy to deal with. Debbie made us feel like we were the
most important people that she was helping. She found us the house we wanted
at a price that we were happy with and did it in such a way that she took
away all the stresses involved with buying a home in a new Province. We
started in Alberta by email and she never gave up , even coaching us into a
completely different part of the Province than we had been looking at
initially.
We would highly recommend Debbie to anyone looking to buy or sell property,
trustworthy to the end and ultimately she gets the job done. Thank you
Debbie: We would definitely use her services again in the future and so
should anyone else.

Debbie Elliott was amazing to work with! Buying and selling can be an overwhelming and stressful experience, Debbie kept us grounded and well informed throughout the whole process. Debbie also has some of the best local knowledge of historical real estate in the Colchester/Town of Truro - she is literally an encyclopedia of real estate trends over the years. When we first called her with an interest in a specific area, she helped guide us through potential options and in many ways, single-handedly manifested the opportunity to purchase the home we now own. I never felt like someone had our back in one of the most important purchases you will ever make in your life - as I did with Debbie. She's the first best decision you will make on your new home journey!

In a time where the real estate market was confusing as ever, Debbie Elliott guided us through the process of finding and purchasing a home in Valley, NS. I never felt pressured, and always felt that needs of my family were heard. Debbie has a great depth of experience in real estate and promptly answered any questions we had. Debbie was open, honest, and professional though the entire process, providing us with realistic expectations of the market. Debbie opened my eyes to seeing the potential in homes I never would have on my own and we couldn’t be happier with the house we bought. Debbie even provided boxes to help us move, doesn’t get more personal than that!
