Alan remains an avid hot air balloon competitor and also does some hot air balloon event officiating. He loves to travel. Much of his time, these days, is consumed with servicing his many listings and doing supporting computer work.

"I would like to be your Realtor."<br /> <br />Read on …… a successful Realtor and internationally recognized competitive Hot Air Balloon pilot, you’ll find that there is little that is ordinary about my approach to my profession or my personal life. <br /> <br />About Alan …….<br /> <br />When Prudential created their professional designation showing proficiency in Electronic Commerce, it was the first designation of its kind in the Real Estate Industry. Alan was one of the first 4 agents in the international Prudential Network to become eCertified. He received it at the Prudential Summit Conference in 1998. Alan was also pictured on the front cover (and in the feature article) of Rock Talk, the Prudential Real Estate company magazine.<br /> <br />Whether "in" a balloon or "in" real estate, Alan goes straight to the top. <br /> <br />In both real estate and ballooning, Alan has established a legacy of performance and results. From his role as a former co-owner of Prudential L.T. Blount REALTORS® to serving as the Balloon Federation of America's president Alan has achieved the standard by which only the very best are judged. "I am proud of my abilities, but that's not what does it," Alan says. "You have to constantly improve, constantly look for innovative new ways to make yourself more efficient." That is exactly what Alan has done for more than 36 years. During that time, he's learned that one of the most valuable abilities he has - even more than all his experience and expertise - is that he takes the time to listen. "Another difference is creative effort." As a real estate professional, that's what Alan does - put forth his best creative effort to achieve maximum results. A home transaction can be as exhilarating as a hot air balloon flight. In order to do either successfully, however, you need a pilot who will ensure a successful landing. Call the professional who can get your transaction off the ground - call Alan Blount. <br /> <br />With his world class service, the sky's the limit! Alan possesses the qualities inherent in a leader and a winner both personally and professionally. Alan exhibits a blend of both when it comes to servicing his clients' real estate needs. <br /> <br />Alan has been a life long resident of the Palos Park area, attended Palos District 118 Grammar School & Carl Sandburg High School, Ripon College and received a B.A. Degree from Northern Illinois University. He spent 4 years in the U.S. Coast Guard (including 2 years in Spain). Upon returning home in 1972 he entered the family-owned Real Estate business, where he became one of the all time top producing agents in the area. He is also currently a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary and is involved in programs that encourage high school kids to consider attending the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. Alan is married with 2 children and for 30 years was co-owner of Prudential L.T. Blount REALTORS® in Palos Park, IL. Alan is an avid balloonist, bicyclist, and holds an amateur radio license.

(He won the 1993 Hot Air Balloon World Championships in Luxembourg.) Also, Steve Fossett entrusted Alan as Director of Mission Control for two of his around the world balloon flight attempts. (You may have seen him on the CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX, or NBC news shows.) And, Richard Branson later entrusted Alan to be a key member of his London, England Control Centre for the Marrakech, Morocco (to Hawaii) around the world flight attempt with Steve Fossett.
