A method for assisting property owners in selling property for fractional ownership by locating a property that is already listed for sale and is a qualified candidate property, contacting the listing broker or owner about selling the property fractionally, offering the property for sale for fractional ownership concurrently with offering the property for sale for sole ownership, finding fractional buyers collectively willing to purchase the property for more than it could be sold to a single owner, assisting in the preparation and execution of all necessary documents required for the transactions, overseeing the sales transaction, and obtaining a commission or fee on the sale of the property concurrently with or separate from the listing broker. This creates a turnkey service to property owners interested in selling their property for fractional ownership without any added risk and little to no upfront cost to the property owner.

International Classification:

G09F 1902

US Classification:

40406

Abstract:

A three-dimensional figure made from an inflatable, sculptured envelope of soft pliable material into which is blown a constant flow of ambient air wherein said flow of ambient air can be modulated or reversed to cause a lifelike movement of the sculptured figure. The inflatable envelope can be attached to the face of a billboard to create a three-dimensional display which can be quickly assembled or dismantled. The structure can tolerate substantial leakage of air from the envelope along seam lines, through the pliable material fabric or small puncture holes.

Appl. No.:

7/375310

Inventors:

Robert K. Vicino - San Diego CA

International Classification:

G09F 1500

US Classification:

40610

Abstract:

A self-contained inflatable sign for temporary attachment to prominent portions of structures to provide a highly visible message day or night. The sign is an envelope made from translucent flexible panels which is inflated by a blower within the envelope which also contains a series of lights. A message banner is interchangeably held onto the envelope. When inflated the envelope becomes a strong illuminated sign capable of withstanding severe outdoor environments but light enough to be quickly and easily erected on highly visible but otherwise difficult to access portions of buildings or structures. An alternate version is specifically designed for mounting against the front of a commercial building as a marquee-type display.
