COMMEMORATING JAQUA REALTORS
______
HON. BILL HUIZENGA
of michigan
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, April 2, 2025
Mr. HUIZENGA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate
Jaqua Realtors as they celebrate their 50th anniversary. This
achievement represents more than a half-century of service to the
people of Southwest Michigan.
In 1975, Jaqua Realtors began with a single office in Kalamazoo
operated by Chuck Jaqua. Since the doors first opened, Jaqua has opened
thirteen more offices across Southwest Michigan. As a small business
owner myself, I can attest that the hard work and dedication of the
whole Jaqua family is a true representation of the American Dream.
Marking half a century as a family-owned business. Since their
founding, ownership has remained in the family. The business is
currently under the leadership of Dan Jaqua, who sees the value of
maintaining his late father's commitment to the community.
Jaqua Realtors is a prominent piece of the Southwest Michigan
community. They believe in a hands-on approach to community support and
have been extensively philanthropic since their foundation. Jaqua
Realtors has contributed to groups such as the Kalamazoo Literary
Council, Girls on the Run, and the Greater Kalamazoo United Way.
We would like to thank Jaqua Realtors for more than fifty years of
outstanding dedication in Southwest Michigan. This achievement is truly
remarkable.
Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Jaqua Realtors as they
celebrate their 50th anniversary.
