Space Shuttle attraction on barge to Johnson Space Center

League City, TX - Worrell Team, REALTOR, GRI, CNE (Bayou Properties Realty) — Mon, 21 May 2012 11:42:41 -0700

June 2 - 3, 2012 -- I think this event was planned to celebrate by birthday (June 2nd)...

Sharing the ongoing story of human space exploration is about to get a major boost with a new Space Shuttle visitor experience coming soon to Space Center Houston. The full-scale attraction is set to arrive on June 1, kicking off “Shuttlebration Weekend” to celebrate the opening of a new era in space exploration, outreach and education.

“Shuttlebration Weekend” begins on the afternoon of Friday, June 1, when the Space Shuttle attraction will arrive by barge at the Johnson Space Center (JSC) NASA Road 1 dock on Clear Lake near the Nassau Bay Hilton hotel. This will be the largest item to arrive at the dock since the Saturn V arrived for display in 1977.

The public is invited to a free street party between the dock and the hotel to witness and celebrate the historic arrival. The street party will include exhibits and static displays of new technologies and space vehicles that are being developed for the future of exploration, as well as local marching bands, food and entertainment.

On Saturday, June 2, the Space Shuttle attraction will be loaded onto a mobile transfer vehicle for transport to Space Center Houston. The lakeside load-out will take a full day to complete. No public events are planned.

Early in the morning on Sunday, June 3, the attraction will make a three-hour trek down NASA Parkway from the Hilton to its permanent home at Space Center Houston. It will receive a futuristic VIP escort from JSC’s prototype planetary rovers for future solar system exploration. Upon the Space Shuttle attraction’s arrival, Space Center Houston, along with the Johnson Space Center, will host a free public celebration in its parking lot from 9 a.m. to noon. The family-oriented event will include more opportunities to see the Shuttle attraction up close, and to get a look at the latest ongoing developments in space exploration taking place at JSC.

2012 Texas Monthly 5-Star Award - Brian Worrell Team

League City, TX - Worrell Team, REALTOR, GRI, CNE (Bayou Properties Realty) — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 14:22:15 -0700

I'm excited to announce that I have received the Texas Monthly Magazine 5 STAR award again for 2012! Thanks to all of my clients that again gave me this vote of confidence! Here's how they chose the award winners:

Our research team contacted consumers in the Houston region and asked if they had experience working with a real estate agent. Consumers who agreed to participate in the survey provided the name of the real estate agent and rated that individual according to key criteria such as integrity, negotiation and closing preparation.

Surveys were sent to Houston region residents who recently purchased a home over $150,000 (more than 42,500 households) within a 12-month period (July 2010 to July 2011). An additional 250 surveys were sent to mortgage and title companies.

The survey data was collected and scored, resulting in the list of 2012 Houston Five Star Real Estate Agents. The research methodology allows only 7% or fewer real estate agents in a given market to qualify for the Five Star award.

Five Star Professional follows standard sampling and survey practices used by other professional research organizations. Our research also includes feedback from industry peers and leaders, and a regulatory review to provide necessary checks and balances.

Links Style Golf Course in Magnolia Creek League City, TX

League City, TX - Worrell Team, REALTOR, GRI, CNE (Bayou Properties Realty) — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 18:25:01 -0700

Cannongate in Magnolia Creek, a “links” style course

The Worrell Team Realtors assist many buyers and sellers in Magnolia Creek. Many of the residents and future residents of Magnolia Creek in League City, TX have asked the Worrell Team, What exactly is a links style golf course? Cannongate at Magnolia Creek is a 27-hole links style golf course in the Magnolia Creek subdivision in League City. A links style course is typically defined as having wide sloping fairways, no trees, and deep pot bunkers. Be cautious of the wind while playing, due to the lack of trees, the winds can be challenging, so many players will play low shots and use the long running fairways to their advantage for distance. This strategy is very helpful if distance is not your strong suit and the wind is at your back. Cannongate at Magnolia Creek’s design will remind you of St. Andrews and many other English and Scottish courses where the game of golf originated. Magnolia Creek in League City offers many homes with golf course lots. While you are playing the course, you will have many fantastic views of the beautiful homes Magnolia Creek has to offer. Cannongate is a private golf club and membership is required to play. The Worrell Team Realtors would like to invite you to come and visit Magnolia Creek in League City and , "play the links".
