What to expect from us
We don't like the feeling of being "sold to," and you probably don't either. We will give you as much information as we can, and we'll also give you our opinions and advice. You may not even have to ask! 

If you're looking for a home to buy, we will show you the ones that meet your requirements and that you're interested in. If you will be purchasing a home or investment property sight-unseen, we will preview all the properties you're interested in and take extra photos for you. We will stay in the price range that you tell us you want to be in, even if your lender qualifies you for more.
 
If you want us to sell your home, we'll do the research on what similar homes are selling for. Then we will go and look at other homes for sale in your neighborhood so you'll know up front exactly what the competition is like. We will tell you what you can do to improve your chances of getting a higher sales price or selling faster. We'll help you with the negotiations and oversee the transaction carefully, all the way to closing.

Robin the traveler
I grew up in San Antonio, and moved to Hawaii in 1990. I lived there 7 years, visiting all the islands except Molokai, as well as New Zealand and Australia. Then I moved to England, where I had the opportunity to travel all over the UK and Europe. I worked for 14 years with a global engineering firm, from project administration to graphic design to software and presentations training. I managed rental property in Hawaii and invested in real estate in England. Thus, my focus is on helping you make sure your dream home is a good investment, too.

After 6 years in England, I came back to my home town. Living and traveling overseas gave me a chance to learn about many cultures. During this time, San Antonio changed a lot, becoming the seventh largest city in the US. Its economy continues to grow, and the cost of living is low compared to similar-sized cities. It is also even more of a cultural melting pot than before.

How I can help you
One thing that hasn't changed, though, is the desire for people to own their own homes and invest in real estate. As an Accredited Buyers Representative, I offer home buyers my experience, negotiating skills, and commitment to finding you a home that will meet your needs and desires, plus your investment goals.

For sellers, my goal is to help you get where you need to go on time, while keeping you in the loop. I'll give you my honest advice on what will help sell your home quickly in today's market. I'll help you position your home on the market, negotiate the best terms for your needs, and oversee the details during the stressful period all the way to closing.

My experience in marketing and graphic design gives me the power to expose your property to potential buyers around the world through my website, blogs, and agent network. I work to make sure that buyers will find out about your home for sale, that it's as appealing as possible, and that they can quickly get more information about it.

Experience counts
The average real estate agent sells 3 to 10 houses a year. In 2006 and 2007, I sold a total of 68 properties, including new and resale homes, lots, and multi-family properties. The year 2008 was a tough one for real estate, as most people know, but I still helped my clients buy or sell 13 homes. And 2009 was a busier year, with 21 sales.

I am a Certified Residential Specialist, a designation awarded to just 4% of Realtors. CRS members must complete a certain number of transactions and specialized real estate courses to qualify for the designation.
 
Outside the US
I am also a member of the Transnational Referral Network, and I can help you in finding properties in other countries. I will research the country's real estate market and find brokers or estate agents for you to interview. Once you choose one to work for you, I'll continue to monitor the transaction from start to finish.

Sofia was born in San Antonio and raised partly in Los Angeles, California. She worked at the insurance giant USAA for 25 years, before retiring. Bored after just a couple of months of retirement, she started a new career with Prestige Homes. There she was a new home sales consultant, rising to the position of Sales Manager at the Gardens of Hollywood Park and the Renaissance at the Vineyards. She got her real estate license in 2005, and then went out on her own a couple of years later.

"I'd always wanted to be a Realtor, but didn't actually do it until I retired. Now I wish I hadn't waited so long! I love what I do," Sofia says.

Sofia is the widow of a retired SAPD detective, and her extended family keeps her active and involved in education. She is also an avid Spurs fan, holding season tickets for the last 3 years. She volunteers for Habitat for Humanity and CASA (Child Avocate of San Antonio). She has conducted tours of the Alamo in Spanish, in which she is fluent, and has done mentoring in elementary schools. She has visited Europe several times, as well as Belize and the interior of Mexico.

Sofia specializes in helping home buyers find their ideal homes. She also enjoys using her design skills to help sellers market their homes for sale. When this busy lady isn't selling real estate, volunteering, cheering for the Spurs, or traveling, she loves to read and watch classic movies.
