Hello BBBB Friends:
So today is my favorite day of the year when our clocks move back an hour. I will savor this extra hour all day. However, I’m not as keen on losing the additional daylight hours for showing homes! ⏰ I am featuring four new listings today, from your basic bungalow to a spectacular bungalow “on steroids.” Don’t forget to keep scrolling down to see price changes, new contracts, and final sales for those homes that are Still on My List!
BCL CHRISTMAS PARTY- SAVE THE DATE
As a holiday treat from the Bayou City Life Group at Compass Real Estate, you are invited to join us for an early Christmas party at Marmion Park on Sunday, November 20th from 1 to 4 PM.
Santa will be present to hear Christmas wish lists and take photos with little ones and the whole family, including pets. We’ll also have cookies, a hot chocolate bar, lawn games, and a mini-market to celebrate the season.
This event is free for our friends and clients, but donations for photos with Santa will be accepted for local student lunch debt relief. Join us!
Have a great week!
Becky
