Big break for first-time home buyers
The new housing stimulus bill provides for an $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers who buy a home on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009. The credit does not need to be paid back. The credit can be claimed on a tax return to reduce the income tax liability. If any of the credit remains unused, then that amount will be refunded to the home buyer. First-time home buyers are defined as those who have not owned a home within the last 3 years.

What you can expect from me as your agent
First, you will get my commitment to your best interests. I'll help you find a home in the price range and neighborhood you're comfortable with. I'll help you with contract negotiations, arrange for inspections and any repairs, locate a mortgage lender, and arrange for the survey, home warranty, and title work. All the way up to closing, I'll be the point of contact among you and all the other parties involved.

I have worked with a lot of military folks and families. I’ve made many moves, including across both the Pacific and the Atlantic. I understand the stress and anxiety of moving to a new place and a new posting! Scroll down to read what my clients think.

Let's work together
Without a signed agreement, the buyer's agent technically works for the seller, since my commission typically comes from the seller at closing. Please be ready to work with me at the beginning of our home search so I can represent you fully. If you would like to review the simple one-page agreement I use, let me know, and I'll send it to you.

I can also show you homes for sale by owner (FSBOs) and new homes, representing your interests with the builder in the subdivision you choose. Home builders rely on agents to bring them buyers, and I will be working for you throughout the construction and inspection process to make sure they build your home right.

I represent investors, too
If you're a real estate investor, San Antonio should be on top of your list. With a brisk rental market, growing economy, and low cost of living, investment properties such as single-family homes, condos, and multi-family properties are very affordable. If you're considering a 1031 exchange, contact me to find out more about the market.

I'll help you find suitable properties for your portfolio. I can recommend strategies to help you achieve your goals, but the final decision on what to buy and how much to pay is always yours. As your buyer's agent, I represent you, not the seller.

If you would like more details on a property, or if you want more information on the process, just contact us with your email address and/or your phone number. Let's get started!

What my clients say

Steve Kiel had some kind words about me on his blog, the Property Pundit.

Mere words cannot express our gratitude and appreciation for your help,advice, kindness, honesty and professionalism in conducting the  purchase.  Again, thank you from Malaysia and I know the boys will enjoy living in their own home and keeping it warm. God bless. --Kok Kiong Lai
Thank you so much for all of the hard work and effort you put into finding my family the perfect house. You were the third or fourth agent I talked to when I was looking for someone to help me in my home purchase, and I knew immediately you were the one for us. You were honest, very responsive and extremely helpful from the beginning. You didn't try to sell us a house that was out of our budget like most agents do, and instead you found us the perfect house in our budget the very first day we went out. Not only did you get us the house for way less than the sales price, but also negotiated to get us the other things that we wanted as well.... On top of that you found us the perfect lender, that was ethical and extremely hard-working for us. You were there day and night when I called (and we both know I called a lot) to answer my questions and go that extra mile for us. We couldn't be happier with our purchase and will tell anyone we know that is looking for a house to give you a call. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and we couldn't have made it without you! --Dale and Calli Owens
I suppose we were asleep when the settlement actually occurred in San Antonio and I imagine you don't have too many buyers who sleep through settlement! Then again, you probably don't have too many buyers who live on the other side of the world.  Anyway, it was a real pleasure working with you and we want to thank you for everything you did to make this transaction go so smoothly. --Chris Baker
We love the house and the area. We couldn't be happier! We very much appreciate all your help in finding it. --Scott Snyder
Robin expertly guided us through relocation from Maryland to Texas. She found us an excellent local real estate agent in Maryland who helped us sell our home during one of the worst real estate markets in recorded history. Robin then rented her Corpus Christi beachfront condo to us while our household goods were in storage and transit. When we were ready to purchase, Robin found us the retirement home of our dreams with a beautiful inground pool in a nice, quiet neighborhood in north San Antonio. She knows San Antonio as only a native Texan can, and tackles any problem that arises with her amazingly extensive network of experienced maintenance people. Robin is one of those rare individuals who thrive in stressful situations. She solves problems as they arise with intelligence, professionalism, grace and kindness. Her internet skills are second to none. We would recommend her highly and without reservation as one of San Antonio's finest real estate agents and property managers. As we enjoy our retirement playing in the pool with our granddaughter; we say, "Thank you, Robin!!" --Mike and Peggy Powell
You have been such a pleasure to work with and so easy to talk to. As I'm getting more experienced in this and talking to different people, I'm realising that how lucky I was the first time itself to have found you! --Archana Narla
I wanted to share the fantastic experience I had working with Robin Rogers buying my first investment property in Texas. I found Robin's contact information from an article, gave her a call and within a day or so we were in action over phone and e-mail looking for my investment property. Robin is a fantastic communicator, always quickly answering my questions via e-mail. She connected me with extremely helpful folks (inspector, appraiser, property manager) who all worked closely with Robin and myself to make my long distance investment process very smooth.  --Natalie Johl
