BBQ Cookout Broker Open: A Preview to Remember
We recently hosted a backyard barbecue like no other—one part cookout, one part friendly competition, and all wrapped around a first-look preview of a stunning new listing in Hidden Lakes of League City, Tx. Special guests Cam Jackson and Rodney Douglass brought the heat—literally—with a BBQ showdown representing St. Louis and Louisiana styles. Guests were invited to cast their vote and decide whose flavors reigned supreme.
Friends from all corners of the industry came out for the event, including fellow agents, local neighbors, and real estate professionals. Between bites of brisket and ribs, guests toured the property and got an exclusive first look before it officially hit the market.
The evening was full of great food, music, and meaningful conversations—a perfect example of how we bring people together around real estate in ways that are anything but ordinary. Whether they came for the BBQ or the beautiful home, everyone left with something to remember.
