Why a real estate team made a Christmas lights map

Because we live here too. The Move Live Love TX Team™ is Peter and Vicky Royster. We grew up in Clear Lake, we work from Galveston to Conroe, and we have driven most of these roads with our own family in the car. Knowing the area is not a marketing line for us; it is the job.

If a move is somewhere on your horizon, we would love to help. If not, go see the lights.
