“We’re not just the burbs in Fort Bend County. We have so many beautiful, unique homes on amazing lots,” says Cathy Stubbs, the leader of Cathy Stubbs team in Sugar Land. “We have easy access to downtown Houston and a vibrant Town Square right here in Sugar Land. We get to experience all of the benefits of being in the suburbs, most notably, more home and more land for the investment.”
 
This holiday season, you can see several of these beautiful homes, decorated for the holidays, at the CASA Christmas Home Tour, benefitting Child Advocates of Fort Bend. A supporter of the cause for years, Cathy says, “Helping the children in our community is so important. This event is a great way to help, with 94% of the proceeds going directly toward services for children.”
 
Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) advocates for children’s “best interests” in the foster care system by recruiting, training, and deploying community advocates to provide a voice for children in the courts.
 
This year, the tour will feature five beautiful homes… one that was designed by one of Cathy’s favorite architectural designers, Robert Dame. “Robert’s work is immediately identifiable when you see a home’s facade and walk through the front door,” she says. “He’s an artist.”
 
Robert Dame has lived in Sugar Land since 1992. “We raised our children in Sugar Land,” he says. “It is a great community – my wife and I love it here.”
 
A luxury architectural designer, Robert continues, “I’ve had really great projects in Sugar Land. The standards for design have always been high. I designed a lot of Sweetwater homes and homes in Alkire Lake. Sweetwater is so charming with its cobble paved roads. And none of my homes look the same.”
 
Growing up in Chicago, Robert was always fascinated with architecture. “It was my way to escape. You can disappear in a drawing and it gives you joy,” he says. “For me, it was always about the art. I have a great deal of interest in a lot of historical styles, but I also love contemporary work.”
 
“I love Cathy’s love of design,” he continues. “She brings a lot to the table… she is embedded in the community that she loves. She sold a house to my dear friend’s daughter in the area, and subsequently, we went in and remodeled it.”
 
With Robert Dame and the CASA tour, Cathy’s passions merge beautifully – her love of impressive and unique homes, helping the community, and enjoying art. “Families in Fort Bend are lucky this year to have the opportunity to see some beautiful Fort Bend homes, including one of Robert Dame’s projects, at the CASA tour,” she says.
