From the moment we first got in contact with you we could tell that your exceptional professional expertise in the exclusive home real estate market, was above the rest. Your wonderful, elegant social skills added to the enjoyment of having you help us, as it was added pleasure to our home search, just to meet every time we went to go look at the properties that you had selected for us. You also followed through and made all the technical transitions in acquiring our home very easy, helping in every way to make our process from finding to closing, enjoyable. We appreciated all your help. Your hospitality and professionalism made the decision for us to purchase a home in San Antonio vs the other locations we were considering much easier.

Thank you, and know that we appreciate your extraordinary services."

-Ed & Katerina Chalupa | Anaqua Springs Ranch

"I LOVED working with Debra as my listing agent! She showed great excitement to get my house and did an amazing job advertising it in all the right places. She had so many marketing ideas that the listing never went stale and she was willing to do whatever it took to get a good contract on the property. Besides the work involved she was always smiling, always happy, and always made my day better when she was in it! " -Trisha Thomson | Dominion Vineyard Estates "Gary has always been very professional in every real estate transaction I have done in the Boerne, TX area. He is always willing to go the extra mile and helps with inside information on the area and details often overlooked or unknown by others."

"Debra Janes is wonderful to work with and was tireless in her approach to marketing our luxury property. She has a great understanding of the market in the Texas Hill Country and she used a local, national and international campaign to find prospective buyers. Her network is second to none in the luxury home market in this area and we were very pleased with both the number of showings and the final sale result of our property. Debra is a sincere, caring and hard-working who is never satisfied until your property is sold."

-Ken Nibling | Cordillera Ranch.

"Debra has represented us on several millions of dollars of real estate, both as buyer and seller. Her professionalism and knowledge of the market is second to none and we have recommended her to many people and will continue to do so!"

-Zane & Shannon Smith | Beneco Boerne, TX

"We were the purchaser of [a home in] Cordillera Ranch. Our experience with Debra Janes was exceptional. The Janes/Biggers partnership was one of the best Realtor experiences we've ever had. Not only did Debra do her homework, her opinion,negotiating skills and overall genuine nature was such a pleasant experience for us especially since we had inspection issues. We always felt like she had our back at all times. Bob and I have purchased many properties in our pasts but we believe this was a good deal for everyone involved. First class firm with two first class gals!!! Anyone who is not using Janes/Biggers to purchase property in the Hill Country are not using the right Realtors...."

Industry LEADERS CHOOSE Jason Glast LUXURY REAL ESTATE to sell their personal home

Jason glast Realtor® / Attorney 210.386.1833 jason@jasonglast.com

"Jason, Thank you for listing our home in Anaqua Springs. More importantly, thank you for the quick sale. It must be the Glast “karma”, since we had the home on the market previously with another agent, with no success. You were professional and prompt, and had good recommendations for the various details involved."

Ken Batchelor, Batchelor Cadillac

Record of sales in The Dominion, Terrell Hills, Alamo Heights, Boerne, Shavano Park, Bentley Manor, Inwood, Anaqua Springs Ranch, and many other high-end neighborhoods Expert in marketing, confidentiality and maximizing your return "I believe your process and attention to detail brought a different perspective to my home. Your fresh ideas and insistence on perfection in every way was very refreshing in a world where this is increasingly rare. Your ideas to re-position my home with furniture, pictures, and details resulted in a much higher frequency of showings almost immediately. This ultimately created urgency from several potential buyers and led to a strong sale in a price range with a thin buyer pool. Really, you are a testament to hard work and attention to detail which in my world are the keys to success.

Thank you and please know that you have earned my trust."

MCNAIR CUSTOM HOMES CUSTOM HOME BUILDER SAN ANTONIO AND THE HILL COUNTRY

McNair Custom Homes: George, John & Michael McNair

C

ommitted to building exceptional homes at an outstanding value, McNair Custom Homes opened its doors in the San Antonio area in 1998. John McNair, a Texas native and owner, has custom tailored a product line to meet the various needs of McNair’s discriminating homebuyers. From low maintenance garden home living to country club style homes to estate homes on acreage lots, McNair designs timeless Mediterranean and Traditional exteriors with very livable open floor plans. All of these homes can be found in North Central San Antonio in some of the most “sought after neighborhoods”.

Each of the communities has a fully furnished professionally staffed model equipped with an extensive list of exceptional features that buyers recognize as

24 | LuxuryHomeMagazine.com

distinctively “McNair”. McNair also builds on client’s home sites. Homebuyers can choose from a selection of floor plans, customize the plans or design a completely custom plan from scratch. Clients also have access to an interior designer to assist in making just the right selections of colors, textures, products, and options to customize their new home.

Known for their high level of customer satisfaction, McNair focuses on providing each client the consideration and attention a custom homebuyer expects. John and his brother Michael McNair, Vice President of Construction, have over 70 years of combined homebuilding experience. They closely manage each home under construction, making them distinctively “hands-on” builders.

When they are not managing their home sites, John & Michael stay busy in the community with various charitable civic organizations. As true outdoorsman, John & Michael also enjoy fishing & hunting in the Texas hill country. In 2005, their brother George joined the company and used his technology background to help bring the company into the digital age. George is responsible for all marketing and technical aspects of the business. He is very active with the city, the Realtor community and the Greater San Antonio Builder’s Association, where he served as President in 2014.

The McNair brothers take personal satisfaction in being part of the San Antonio community while building dream homes for their clients and ensuring their total satisfaction.

Testimonials "It was very important to me to find a Realtor that I could trust and Petra is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced Realtor. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for an honest, professional, ethical Realtor who genuinely cares about you and your family. Many others out there seem to be fine if everything is going according to plan, but sometimes a curveball gets thrown into a real estate deal from an outside party. This is where Petra shines above the rest. She appears to be unflappable and never gives up if things start to get tricky, and works relentlessly until she creates a smooth solution for her client."

"Outstanding! Petra sold our house for the highest price in the neighborhood. And, it was only on the market for 48 hours with multiple offers. She is completely trustworthy and will look after you and your interests."

- Mark & Donna Penberthy "I can't say enough about how helpful Petra was during our buying process. Her experience and knowledge of the housing market was invaluable. She helped us find the home we were looking for in a tough market, and fought for us during closing to ensure our needs were met. We will definitely be using her again to sell our old home."

Nonconforming loan interest rates are higher for borrowers who do not meet these criteria, but otherwise qualify for a nonconforming mortgage loan product. Limitations apply.
