Hear What Our Clients Are Saying About Us
Missy was absolutely incredible! Her knowledge and experience are unmatched. We have used her team and expertise to buy and sell multiple properties over the last 20+ years. As a career service member, she handled the upgrading and sale of our family home while we were stationed 13,000 miles away! We trust her implicitly and she has always acted in our family’s best interest! She really is not just about selling homes, she is invested in people and improving the community as well. There really is no one else I would trust in making the most important decisions in our lives. Thank You Missy and your phenomenal staff, I feel honored every time we have worked with you!
Missy is the best realtor! I highly recommend her. I have been working with her for over 15 years. I first worked with her when she helped sell my mom’s house all those years ago. This is the 4th time my husband and I bought/sold with Missy. We are always so impressed by her. She is knowledgeable, honest, and professional. We are so happy she helped us find a house that worked for our needs. She gave us her honest opinion and led us down the best path. She provides us with great recommendations and advice. We trust her opinion. We know when Missy represents us we are in the best hands.
Drita was excellent from start to finish. Enjoyed her great spirit and thoughtfulness so much! Drita kept us informed all through the process, negotiated very well, responded promptly to any questions or concerns and we could not be happier with our new home. Looking forward to recommending MSTAGERS Realty Partners to anyone looking to buy or sell in the future.
We bought our home as well as sold it with Kim as we had a job transfer to another state. We loved working with her. She was so quick to respond and acknowledge EVERY time. She communicated great and worked very hard for us. We were confident in her abilities as we used her both times and would highly recommend her!
Ara Fesperman was wonderful helping us buy a house 3 years ago. We were new to the San Antonio market and she was so patient and helpful showing us as many houses as we needed to get comfortable buying one. When it was time to sell there was absolutely no question who we wanted to sell our house and once again Ara gave us great advice and we were able to sell quickly and easily. We definitely recommend Ara Fesperman and M. Stagers Realty Partners.
Brandon could not have been more helpful in finding me a home. He was kind enough to drive all over town and showed me all the places I was interested in. All while providing his own honest insight. Definitely saving his information for any future moves.
Brenda assisted my husband and I in buying our first home. She was absolutely fabulous in every way and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a place to call home. Brenda was attentive to our needs and showed us homes that matched our wish list. Brenda is incredibly knowledgeable about San Antonio communities and we found our dream home in just a few days! Her communication with us was more than ideal and she was able to negotiate a non-existent closing cost for us. We are so thankful to have had Brenda on our team when making this life-changing decision! Who knew buying a home could be this easy!
Undoubtedly one of the best in the business. Danny is honest and has your best interest in mind every step of the way. Danny most recently helped us with the sale of our old home and because of his expertise, we received a full price offer only a few days after listing. His knowledge and experience are second to none. Danny is very personable and easy to work with. You will have no regret using Danny guaranteed.
Janie was phenomenal to work with. This is my third house buying experience, and she was hands down the best realtor that I have worked with. She listened to what was important to me in a home, she was very prompt in returning calls, and when a house came on the market, she made sure I knew immediately. Janie made sure I was in the best hands since I was newer to the area. She made sure I was in safe neighborhoods, not in flood areas, and truly great to work with. Even after the offer was accepted, she hooked me up with a GREAT inspector. I’ve had other inspections, but none compared to the detail of this one, and for an excellent price. She kept me on track as well which can be hard to do! I honestly cannot recommend Janie enough. She is a pleasure to work with. You won’t be disappointed
Lorna is great, she always answers your call and won’t give you the runaround, if she doesn’t know something she will research and get back to you with the answer tailored to your needs.
Mary Jane helped us sell our home and she was just amazing. She calls and texts me anytime even when she was not available. We like her so much we use her to find our property we bought after selling our home. She helped us over and beyond. She not only treats you like a client but becomes a friend. She keeps in touch all through the process. We would recommend her to anyone that wants to sell or buy their home.
Tara was great to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable of the Austin /San Antonio area and brought great value to us when we were negotiating. She was very fair but stood firm on the items that we were focused on.
Kim is amazing! She is so helpful with whatever you need. She staged our property beautifully so potential buyers could see our home as theirs. She helped us take away the clutter. Kim is a great communicator! I could always ask questions, and she would answer them quickly and completely. What a great realtor! I recommend using her to everyone.
I have known Karen in many different capacities, not just as my real estate agent. I can honestly say that Karen takes on every task with an approach so thorough that her end goal becomes nothing less than perfection. Her capacity for managing all the moving parts involved with selling a house is tremendous! She is impeccably professional, no matter how challenging the clients’ situation may be, as was the case with my home sale. She leaves nothing to chance, often taking on tasks that other agents may say is not their problem. Those who have worked with Karen know they can trust her completely, and allow her to lead, confident that she will bring a result far beyond expectation.
Erik was great at helping us find a rental house! We have a lot of pets and it can be hard to find a place that accepts us. He was great at negotiating with property managers and was always very responsive to our questions. We will definitely use him again if we need a realtor in the future!
Drita was indispensable. This was our first time buying a house, and she showed up to the first listing with a binder to help us navigate the process. When we picked up the keys to the house, she had bags of items for the house and move that were incredibly thoughtful. Whenever an “emergency” popped up she would let us know immediately (sometimes even in the late evening). We would have not been able to navigate the home buying process, especially during a pandemic, without her help. She is also just a really awesome person.

What’s been going on in the 2021 real estate market so far? Looking to buy a home? Search All Homes Looking to sell a home? Get a Free Home Value Report Last year, we experienced a highly competitive seller’s market with low inventory, and to date, that hasn’t changed. This is great news for sellers, but buyers will find this to be a tough market. We currently have 1.6 months of inventory, meaning that we’re desperately waiting for houses to come onto the market. Buyers are beside themselves trying to find a property for sale in some areas. Mind you, not all areas in our local market are down to 1.6 months of inventory, but they are very low across all price ranges. The few homes that do become available are selling very quickly. If you place a home on the market in our current climate and you don’t sell it within the first week or two, you need to determine what’s wrong either with your home’s condition or price. It could be that you’ve overpriced it or that the condition doesn’t seem to match the value. “ We’re desperately waiting for houses to come onto the market. ” As we move into the spring, we have a total of 51,702 listings, which is down by 43% year to date. We closed 24,795 homes in January, which is up by 17.8% year to date. The median sales price is $262,000, which is up by 12.7% from the beginning of the year. The average days on market is 48 days and the average days to close is 41 days. The median price per square foot is up by 11% over last year, leaving us at $133.56. For new construction, prices have risen; if you can find a builder who starts around $170 per square foot, you’re doing really well. Most start between $200 and $250. The median home size is 1,980 square feet, and the median year built is 2002. The sales-to-list-price ratio is currently at 97.6% across all price ranges. For lower price ranges, many homes are closing at well over 100%! Stay tuned to my blog for monthly updates on the market. In the meantime, if you have any questions about the market or real estate in general, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’d love to help.
Here’s some advice on how to handle earnest money deposits. Looking to buy a home? Search All Homes Looking to sell a home? Get a Free Home Value Report A lot of people don’t understand what earnest money is for, and more importantly, when there’s a dispute, how it is handled. Earnest money is “good faith money” that you put up into an escrow account on a home you want to buy. It’s a non-interest account that removes the home from the market and protects the seller if you default for any reason not defined in the contract. There are plenty of outs in a resale contract. It’s very buyer-friendly and there are multiple periods tucked into it to give you the ability to terminate the deal if things don’t go right. “ There are plenty of outs in a resale contract, but earnest money is tricky. ” When you’re out of options and you back out, the seller typically gets to keep that earnest money. What happens if there’s a dispute? If a breach of contract occurs, the earnest money needs to go to either the buyer or seller. A release of earnest money must be signed by both parties for the title company who conducts the closing to release it to the party who is supposed to get it. If one party won’t sign, a formal demand has to be made and the title company sends a demand letter telling the other party to sign the letter. If they don’t sign it then, most title companies will still not release the earnest money because they don’t want to release it to the wrong party by interpreting the contract. You will have to contact an attorney at this point to be able to get that earnest money back. The final step is small claims court. This is a confusing process, but it’s a lot easier when you have an expert on your side. In most cases, these cases don’t go to court, but they always can. If you have any additional questions for me about real estate, don’t hesitate to reach out via phone or email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
