Rum, Rhythm & Real Estate: A Night to Remember

Our first Happy Hour of 2026 set the tone for a fantastic year ahead! Members gathered for Rum, Rhythm & Real Estate, bringing great energy, conversation, and community together for an evening full of connection and fun.
From the Distillery tours to the lively rhythms, the atmosphere made it easy to unwind, reconnect with colleagues, and meet new faces across our REALTOR® and affiliate community. Events like these are a reminder that some of the best business connections start with great conversations.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We’re already looking forward to the next chance to gather with our amazing HAAR community.
A special thank you to Guajana Rum for hosting us and sharing their incredible space, and to Tamarind Island Grille for the fantastic island-inspired catering that kept everyone fueled throughout the evening. Known locally for their flavorful Caribbean dishes like jerk chicken, curry chicken, plantains, and other island favorites, Tamarind Island Grille brings a taste of the islands right here to Huntsville.
Events like these are even more meaningful when we partner with outstanding local businesses that help bring our REALTOR® community together. Supporting venues, restaurants, and service providers across North Alabama strengthens our local economy and creates new opportunities for collaboration within our network.
If you’re planning a client appreciation event, team gathering, or celebration, we encourage you to support local and consider visiting Guajana Rum or Tamarind Island Grille for your next event or meal.
We also love supporting businesses within our community. If you’re a member or affiliate who would like to collaborate on a future HAAR or ValleyMLS event, showcase your venue, or partner with us in another way, we’d love to hear from you. Let us know how we can work together to support and spotlight our local business community.
