"Realtor escapes robbery at luxury home" PLEASE READ!

On Christmas Eve, a female real estate agent was showing a man property in a gated community that features multimillion-dollar custom homes when the man beat her with a stick and demanded $4,000.

San Antonio-Express News reported that the man was driving the agent to a bank to withdraw the money when she escaped from the vehicle at a stoplight and got into another car.

Agents be extremely careful when showing properties. Please always be cautious of your surroundings. Call your office and let someone know you are showing a home. Be safe.

"The Christmas Guest" song by Grandpa Jones

A Message from Jim:

Team Northside & Affiliates,

"The Christmas Guest" song by Grandpa Jones is my all-time favorite Christmas musical. I want to share this special musical with you, my friends. Each time I hear the song I cannot control my emotions, as it stirs my heart and tears welling in my eyes. I hope you too will enjoy it.



The greatest gift of Christmas is indeed Christ our Savior.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS,

Jim Faulkner, Broker
