                      COMMEMORATING JAQUA REALTORS

                    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.
