KIND WORDS FROM MY CLIENTS:

“This is our fifth time using Gina’s as our Realtor and we could not be happier with our choice. She was truly knowledgeable of the market and had all the information we needed to make a decision. She kept us informed throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond with the advertisement, setting up the open house, and getting us an offer in 1 day! I highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”

Sam And Veronica Longoria (SELLERS)

“There are no words to describe how awesome my home buying experience was with Gina Garcia. She made my family and I feel like we were her top priority. She was kind, patient and understanding of my families home buying needs. I highly recommend her to my friends and family looking to buy and/or sale.”

Eric & Catherine Falcon (BUYERS)

ORGAN DONATION:

My husband had struggled with kidney failure for a year and a half and we had worked and worked on finding a long-term solution to manage this. Luckily, it turned out that I was a match and was able to donate a healthy kidney in December of 2020.

I am passionate about getting the word out about the importance of choosing to be an organ donor. Whether you become a living donor, like me, or opt to donate as a final act of love, it is an extremely personal choice, but one that could impact many. A healthy adult can save up to 8 lives with the donation of their vital organs. That’s why I encourage you to consider registering for organ donation, and (if donation is not for you) supporting those researching treatments for those living with organ failure.

MARKETING PROCESS

There are many services in my process that contributed to making this sale happen. Below are a few task that were performed. We evaluatd the local market to determine the optimal pricing strategy. Advised the seller on home staging, making slight repairs, decluttering and a deep clean. I hired a professional photographer to capture high quality images. I had the home measured and a floorplan created to maxmize the square footage and price. Developed compelling listing descriptoins and markeitng campaigns that include online listings across major real estate platforms, targeted social media, email marketing to potential buyers. Held three Open Houses and private showings.

RESULT

I marketed the best feature of this home. The hillside views and the spectacular Six Flags fireworks show. The home has huge windows that look out to towards the theme park and every night the fireworks show was a great attraction. I had a video created to showcase the fireworks show to give the potential buyers the look and feel of how it would be to live in this home. The home was outdated and would need to be updated but it had good bones and sitting on the side of a hill was very attractive. Every week I was calling for buyers and pushing out new video features about the home. We received an offer from buyers that really saw the potential and loved the home. It sold in 30 days after contract.

Gina represented us yet again in another smooth, professional and exceptional transaction. We purchased our new home in June and in late July tasked Gina with putting our other home on the market. As any good realtor would do, Gina wanted a walk through before she sent her photographer to do pictures. After this initial walk-through, Gina set us down and told said, “Do you want me to be completely open and honest?” That statement is never a good thing. Gina proceeded to explain to us the many things we needed to do to our home if we wanted to get top dollar for it and sell it quickly. I know this kind of conversation is not easy to have because on the receiving end it was not easy to take. However, we put our trust in Gina and her expertise and her knowledge of the real estate market in San Antonio. We did everything she asked us to do and we are so happy we did! Our home hit the market on a mid-afternoon on a Friday and by the end of that Sunday we had had over 50 showings and over 10 offers. This kind of situation may seem overwhelming but the way Gina spread out everything in front of us and talked us through each and every offer we were able to choose the best buyer for us. We closed within 30 days and for so much more than our asking price. An asking price we originally would have never received had it not been for Gina’s honesty and knowledge. Wehave used Gina several times in the prior years and each time seemed to go without a hitch because of her. This is the first time however that she has had to have a difficult conversation with us and I just have to say that it made me respect her even more than I already did. Thank you Gina! You are the best!

TESTIMONIAL

MARKETING PROCESS

What I did to market the propertry was hired a home stager, and professional photographer. I marketed on social media virutal open houses, networked with other agents. I priced this home competitively.

RESULTS

Listed the home on the market February 26, 2021 and had 16 home showings. Received a full price contract March 1, 2021. Closed and Sold the home April 1, 2021. List price was $260,000 and sold price was $260,000.

We loved working with Gina because she is experienced and approachable. My brother bought his home with Gina’s help several years ago and he still kept in touch with her. We called her and she soon came into our home and told us very clearly what her role would be. She referred to our home respectfully and told us exactly what we needed to do to prepare our home for the price we wanted. We followed her instructions pretty much to the letter. When we were ready, she really invested in preparing us for the next steps. We felt very confident once we had our house on the market and got an offer in less than 48 hours! We sold our home in under a month. Was it stressful for us? Yes. But being able to just call, text, or email Gina when we had a question, this saved our sanity. We always felt like she was on our side and looking out for us. She was very knowledgeable and I don’t want to move again, but if we had to sell our home again, we would call Gina M. Garcia. So if you want your home sold, We’d highly recommend her.

BUYERS NEEDS

The buyers had their current home under contract and they needed to find a home quickly to avoid moving in with friends or family. They needed to stay in a specific school district and they also wanted something newer that was a one story and with a price no more than $350,000.

THE SEARCH

They took me on as their buyers agent October 1, 2020 and we went shopping for homes shortly after. They contracted October 8, 2020 and closed November 18, 2020.

THE “ONE”

I showed them about 6 homes that were narrowed down to what they were looking for. When they walked into this home it was open, large and had the right space they needed. They were excited. We wrote up a contract for the full price and I was able to get up to $6000 for closing cost along with a home warranty. It was a fairly new home with no issues and my client was super happy with their choice.

TESTIMONIAL

Gina was able to answer any questions we had or provided answers before we even needed to ask the question. Gina made my husband and I feel comfortable during the entire home purchasing process. She was well educated and informed us before the next step took place so we always knew what needed to be done. I will absolutely call Gina in the event that my husband and I decide to purchase another home. It was a pleasure working with Gina and I will refer her to any friends or family that are looking to purchase a home. Deandra Del Pozo, San Antonio

BUYERS NEEDS

These buyers were looking to move up to a bigger home with enough yard to put in a pool. They wanted at least 4 bedrooms and to stay in a certain school district. They were set on trying to stay under $300K if possible. So I aimed at showing her homes that would stay in her budget.

THE SEARCH

My buyers were looking for that perfect home to grow in. We had been searching for homes for a while for over 4 months. Being in a middle of a pandemic like Covid. It was hard to show homes. The market was so competitive and many homes were flying off the shelves. I narrowed it down to the area, school district, neighborhood and then the price range.

THE “ONE”

I had set up a showing for this home and the moment my buyers drove into the neighborhood they loved it. When we got to this home, it seemed that it fit all the boxes except for the pool but the yard was big enough so they could put in a pool after they moved in. They loved the kitchen and the layout. There were other offers already in place so we offered above list price of course because the market was so competitive. I asked my buyer to draw up a letter to the seller on why they wanted the home. The letter was amazing. They got the deal and closed. Offer was $270,000 and I was able to get her up to $8000 in closing cost. We closed in 13 days.

TESTIMONIAL

This is the 5th time we have used Gina’s service over an 11 year period. We have purchased 3 homes, acreage and sold one home. Every experience has been exemplary. Gina is professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone in the San Antonio area. Zowie & Ashley Estrada, San Antonio

BUYERS NEEDS

This buyer came to me as a referral. She was looking for her first home. She had a budget she was trying to stay in. It was a challange but I wanted to help this client very much. I was ready to do the work to find her a great home.

THE SEARCH

She took me on as her buyers agent July 2, 20. I showed over 6 homes on our 1st showing. I researched what we saw and then came up with a few more. I worked hard looking for homes that would work for her budget. It was important to me to find the best home for her.

THE “ONE”

I showed her this home and she just loved it. It was brand new and it was right in the perfect budget for her. The area was great! This was a great starter home for her. We put in the offer at list price and got $2000 for closing cost. She closed on her home in 30 days, August 27. 2020. She was so excited with her new home!

TESTIMONIAL

Being a first time home buyer I had absolutely no clue how much really went into it. Gina was super thorough on explaining how the process works and was very nice and patient with the millions of questions I had throughout the whole process. I feel like she really looked out for what was best for me in the long run and listened to all my preferences and worked hard to find me the perfect house which she did! She really goes above and beyond for you. Even after closing I can still ask her questions on things I haven’t figured out yet and she has no problem getting me the answers. I loved working with her and will definitely use her again when the time comes.

BUYERS NEEDS

The buyer had just sold her home in Washington State and needed to find a home quick but wanted a 1 story home. She needed at least 2000 square feet with at least a 3 bedroom 2 baths with a study.

THE SEARCH

She had previously worked with another Realtor and she was not happy because the Realtor was not giving her advice and guiding her. Edna felt like she was alone in this process. So she gave me a call and I made arrangments to see a few homes with her. It only took 1 day to see a few homes and then she decided on one.

THE “ONE”

The market was tough so we needed to make an offer that was really strong. We came in second and initally did not win the bid. Within 2 days the initial buyer resinded their offer and so we got the home. Edna was so happy. She really wanted that home. The initial offer was a cash offer and we were a conventional offer.

TESTIMONIAL

When we met, it was like talking to a friend I had known for a log time! She was always very professional and knowledgeable! I really appreciate all her effort and hard work, as I did not live in the San Antonio area at the time when I was looking for a home to purchase! I was only there for a week and thanks to Mrs. Garcia I made an offer to a home I loved and was lucky enough to get it!! The lines of communication were open from the first meeting and the sale went smoothly and without a glitch! Thank you so much Ms. Gina Garcia!!!
