Bahamas Realty Ltd. launched its “Bahamas Realty Holiday Home Showcase” competition tonight (Friday) when it turned on the Christmas lights at its elegant lakefront office on East Bay St., Nassau.
“The ‘Bahamas Realty Holiday Home Showcase’ is our way of spreading the joy of the Holiday Season,” says Robin Brownrigg, president of the 62-year-old company. “It’s a fun-filled competition designed to encourage everyone to decorate their home exteriors with as much Ho Ho Holiday Spirit as they can.”
“When we think of Christmas lights, most Nasuvians remember bringing our very excited children to see the little house on Shirley St. in years past. Well, those memories inspired our Brokers to create this Christmas lighting competition. We’re starting with our own East Bay St. office and I’m sure the thousands of dollars in prizes will encourage many more to brighten up Christmas in Nassau,” explains Larry Roberts, Bahamas Realty’s CEO.

According to Broker Chandra Parker-McCallum, who is spearheading Bahamas Realty’s Holiday Home Showcase, “Our Grand Prize is a $1,000 gift certificate from Builders Mall (FYP, Tile King, and The Paint Center) and a $500 donation from Bahamas Realty to the winner’s charity of choice from our approved list."
“We’re also planning a People’s Choice Award on Facebook and will be posting entries on Bahamas Realty’s page so you can ‘like’ them.The property with the most likes wins the prize. We hope to create beautiful Christmas memories for today’s children. The Bahamas Realty Holiday Home competition will reward people who delight their neighbourhood and passers by with jolly exterior decorations.”
Sara Parker, broker, creator and host of “Bahamas Realty NOW” came up with the idea of the competition after “listening to memories of Christmas Past in our sales meeting. Everyone’s been really enthusiastic, including the sponsors of our show, many of whom have donated prizes such as a vacuum cleaner from Jolly Roger and five gallons of Devoe Interior Paint from Paint Suppliers, a table lamp from AG Electric and a basket of vitamin products from Seven Seas. We have details and lots of tips on the December "Bahamas Realty NOW" show, (Regular times: 7 pm Mondays on JCN Cable 14 and at 8:30 pm Thursdays on ZNS Cable 11).”
Andrea Brownrigg, a Bahamas Realty director and a member of the steering committee for the Bahamas Realty Holiday Home Showcase, says, “The Holiday Home Showcase is really our way of giving back to the community. We want to see the lights and decorations go up all over Nassau and Paradise Island,” (where two of her multi-million dollar listings will be showcase entries).
Entries are due by Monday December 19th at 4 p.m. and can be dropped off at our East Bay St. office or emailed to holiday@bahamasrealty.bs. Please include ONE photo of your exterior decorations along with the entry form. Entries must be visible from the street and if in a gated community, access must be arranged for the judges.
