Celebrating 13 Years of Oktoberfest, Friendship & Community | Anja Drewes Properties

Our 13th Annual Client Appreciation Event in Sugar Land, Texas

What an incredible afternoon! On November 7, 2026, we welcomed clients, friends, and families to our 13th Annual Oktoberfest & Client Appreciation Event at First Colony Pavilion in Sugar Land, Texas.

With traditional German music, delicious food, laughter, and plenty of familiar faces, it was another wonderful celebration of friendship, community, and the relationships we have built over the years.

And this year, we have even more exciting news to share — our Oktoberfest celebration was featured in Houston City Beat!

A Tradition That Started in 2013

When I founded Anja Drewes Properties in October 2013, I wanted to create something special to celebrate our clients and thank them for their trust and support.

Having moved from Hamburg, Germany, to Texas in 1997, Oktoberfest seemed like the perfect way to bring a little German tradition to our Texas community.

What began as a client appreciation gathering has grown into one of our favorite annual traditions.

Thirteen years later, it is wonderful to see clients who have been with us since the beginning celebrating alongside families who have recently joined the Anja Drewes Properties community.

Some guests have bought or sold multiple homes with us over the years. Others attended for the very first time.

Every one of these relationships means something special to us.

Oktoberfest 2026 — An Afternoon to Remember!

This year's celebration brought together our clients and friends for an afternoon filled with German-inspired festivities.

Guests enjoyed live music from the Prost Polka Trio, delicious food from Texas Biergarten, and performances by the Jordan High School dancers.

Our blue-and-white Bavarian decorations, sunflowers, and festive atmosphere brought a little piece of Germany to Sugar Land.

We also had some fun prize drawings, including gift cards!

But the best part was simply having the opportunity to spend time with everyone outside of real estate transactions.

It was wonderful catching up with longtime clients, hearing family updates, meeting new friends, and watching everyone enjoy the afternoon.

A Special Thank You to Our Team and Sponsors!

Our 13th Annual Oktoberfest & Client Appreciation Event wouldn't have been possible without the wonderful people and local businesses who helped make it such a memorable afternoon.

We would also like to recognize and thank our generous event sponsors:

More Than Real Estate — It's About Relationships

Since beginning my real estate career in 2008 and founding Anja Drewes Properties in 2013, I have had the privilege of helping hundreds of families buy and sell homes throughout Sugar Land, Richmond, Katy, and the Greater Houston area.

Over the years, many clients have become friends, and many families have trusted us with multiple moves.

That is something I never take for granted.

As a boutique real estate brokerage, we believe personal relationships, exceptional service, and staying connected long after closing are just as important as the transaction itself.

Our annual Oktoberfest is one small way we can say thank you.

Until Next Year ! 

To everyone who attended our 13th Annual Oktoberfest & Client Appreciation Event: THANK YOU!

Thank you for your friendship, your referrals, your continued trust, and for being part of the Anja Drewes Properties family.

We loved celebrating with you and are already looking forward to Oktoberfest 2027!

With gratitude,
