No Arlingtonian should be alone on Christmas Day.  You are now invited to attend our Annual Christmas Dinner and share the day with many other Arlington residents. (We call them new friends!)  

Every year since 1977, the BOWES family has extended an invitation to anyone eating alone on this special day. We host a wonderful turkey dinner, with all the trimmings, at the Arlington Lodge of Elks.  Dinner is prepared and served by our amazing group of volunteers who look forward to meeting new and familiar faces each year.

It is a fun filled day and a great way to spend the afternoon. There is no charge and transportation to and from the dinner is available. The only requirements are that you are an Arlington resident and that you would otherwise be eating alone.

You may reserve a space by calling me at 781-645-0550.  So, please accept this invitation and don’t procrastinate! We want you to share your Christmas Day with us and look forward to meeting you.

We’re also excited to sponsor free pony rides behind the Robbins Library. We’ll take complimentary photos and upload them to our website. Photos coming soon –  visit our homepage on Tuesday, September 20th for a link to download your photos!

New Great Network. Same Great Team!

Exciting News! BOWES is delighted to be joining the RealLiving^® network and anxious to show our customers the benefits of working with us for your real estate needs.  We are changing our name to BOWES Real Estate, RealLiving^® and we think it’s a sign of a bright future! We want our customers to know our new affiliation is more than simply a name change. It’s an opportunity to provide our sales associates and customers access to a comprehensive, integrated suite of resources and services. It will enable us to build on our market leadership, expand our operations and maximize our potential within the constantly evolving real estate marketplace. As part of the RealLiving^® family, we can now offer our customers and agents an even larger global reach and referral pool, along with an expanded network of technology tools and training. And while we’re thrilled to announce our new name and all the great advantages it will bring, there remains one thing that will never change: Our commitment to our customers. Nothing will ever change our dedication to you!

What’s New?

We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with RealLiving^®!  After careful consideration and exploring all the national and international real estate franchises, deciding to team up with RealLiving^® was an easy choice for BOWES.

RealLiving^® is a relatively new franchise, heavily capitalized and committed to bringing technology and services to our customers that are unavailable from any other real estate company.  While most real estate franchises are contracting and focusing on cutting expenses, RealLiving^® is growing by leaps and bounds, bringing new products to market and committed to investing in its franchisees.  RealLiving^® can provide us with the support and resources that only an internationally respected and growing real estate company can offer. RealLiving^® also shares BOWES’ customer-driven philosophy and selectively only allows Premier Service Certified companies to join their franchise.

BOWES has set the standard for providing its customers with a premier service experience in Arlington MA and the surrounding communities since 1945.  We believe that RealLiving^® shares this philosophy as they have promised to deliver tools and training that allow us to: (1) deliver an unmatched service experience, (2) employ only highly skilled, knowledgeable, professional sales associates and (3) provide our customers with state-of-the-art tools and technology.

We look forward to growing with RealLiving^® and delivering the products and services to our customers that will make BOWES Real Estate RealLiving^® an easy choice for all your real estate needs!
