About Me
My name is Estela Haese and I have been in the San Antonio Real Estate business since 1978. I love working with people, and I have always found great satisfaction in helping others with what is usually one of the biggest decisions most people can make: buying or selling a home. I work weekends and I am always available to my clients.

If you choose me as your agent, you will also be choosing my family team. My daughter, Valerie, works with our team as a buyer agent. My son works for us as well; he handles all things computer-related, answers phones at the office, manages my marketing, takes pictures, etc. We have been involved with the new home construction and land development business as well, so we know all about the construction aspect of homes and have a network of contractors and repairmen that we have built up over our three decades of experience in the industry.

A very large percentage of my clients are people who are purchasing new homes from builders, so I am very experienced with new home buyer representation. Because I work with so many builders, I know most of their sales representatives and I am very familiar with all the plans they build and which neighborhoods they build them in.

I have a small network of loan officers that I work with regularly. It is always good to have a buyer agent who has a business relationship with your lender. One of the lenders in my network will provide better service to you because they would like to keep working with my clients, and I only refer my clients to the hardest working loan officers. The lenders that I work with have different specialties. If you need a bilingual lender or one that specializes in non-conforming loans, please let me know.
Testimonials
"“RESULTS: Contract in 3 days, closed in less than 30 days. No hitches—no surprises—and Estela got us $13,000 more than we expected and $10,000 more than a previous appraisal!! Estela rocks. She will sell my next house even if we have to fly her in to our new location! Estela Haese was the first agent we selected from Homegain. There were many proposals to list our home. Her approach was the best of all, and the best we have ever experienced. She spent hours evaluating our home, listing every detail the buyer should know. She explained an demonstrated what the important things were to dress up and emphasize, and how to get the buyers to visually and emotionally focus on the best features of our home. No other Realtor ever helped us like this. I cannot over-emphasize how effective her approach was. She came to our home prepared with meaningful comparables, she knew the neighborhood as well as I did and she really knew are market. She predicted who would be interested, and how to sell toward them, and she was right on the money. Her marketing approach was fantastic, with flattering and comprehensive inside/outside pictures on the internet, and in the info tube on our sign. Even after the contract, she was available to us whenever we needed her, always answering her phone or returning our messages promptly. Very professional, very thorough and the results were nothing short of fantastic. We are still celebrating. Not only were we thrilled, the buyers were thrilled!”"

"“I have known and worked with Estela since 1992. I would highly recommend her to handle any of your real estate needs. She is a consummate professional who goes the extra mile to serve her clients. Estela is always easy to get in contact with, even after hours and on weekends. I admire the way she is ready to stand up and fight for her clients when the going gets tough. This year I listed my house with Estela after trying to sell it for several months with another listing agent. Estela sold the house in just 26 days. We had some difficulties with the closing but she was always available to help, and for that I would recommend her to anyone.”"

"“I bought my first house using Estela. For those of you who know, that is an extremely nerve racking period. Estela made it all go smoothly and effortlessly. Once more, she handled the little hiccups with expertise and elegance! I've now hired her to sell the same house she helped me buy! Thanks again Estela.”"
Chris Stephens Wed Apr 23
"“Estela is a rock star Realtor. Really! She found us a place $30,000 value of the selling price. In addition to helping us achieve instant equity, she found us a place with 2 acres, a 9 year old home a lot full of oak trees for our target price when everyone else told us it could not be done within our target price range. Go Estela!”"

"“Thank you for all your help and advice on the search of our first home! You’ve been very kind and patient through all the mortgage chaos and we are grateful.”"
Kimberly and Daniel Bazan Wed Apr 23
"“I now believe in guardian angels. I honestly feel that you have been our guardian angel. You helped make our dreams come true. We are now homeowners! You stuck with us through all our decisions and for that we thank you.”"

"“It gives me great pleasure to recommend Estela Haese to my friends, family, and associates. I am quite certain that all of her clients feel exactly as do my wife and I…ultimately satisfied. We were referred to Estela by friends of ours here in San Antonio who were confident that she would give us the same high level of service that they received from her several years ago. Although I previously lived in San Antonio for many years, I had been away since 1983 and my wife had only visited the city as a tourist. Therefore, I returned with some preconceived notions about what I wanted as well as just what I didn’t want. The problem was that San Antonio had grown and changed a lot since my absence. This is exactly where Mrs. Haese’s professionalism made all the difference. She received my input, analyzed it against her vast and comfortable knowledge of the San Antonio real estate market and helped us find our way through the maze. She did not merely sell us a home, rather she gave us the counsel we needed in order to make the correct decision. We felt as though we were the only clients with who she was working – our best interests always seemed to be at the top of her priority list. There was never any doubt that this would result in anything but exactly what we wanted and needed. Her Guidance was honest and clear. Her demeanor was upbeat and positive. As a result of our experience, we will personally recommend her to everyone we know who needs professional real estate assistance. And, the final comment to be made is that we now regard her as a trusted friend.”"

Kittie Aldak…, Home Buyer in Severna Park

help w/acronyms please. CMPRE, LOWPC, HMSRV,VTLTR, CRPOW most of these appeared in the misc. category.

Asked Tue Aug 5 2008, 11:23 by Kittie Aldak…  -  San Antonio  -  Home Buying  -  5 answers
Estela Haese answered:
CMPRE = Company Relocation, LOWPC = Low Pile Carpet, HMSRV = Home Service Plan (like American Homeshield), VTLTR = Virtual Tour, CRPOW = Corporate Owned.

You will be happy to hear that the new MLS system we are switching to this month does away with all these difficult acronyms and simply states the descriptions in the form of whole words.

Please let me know if you need help with any other abbreviations before then, I keep a list handy of all the acronyms and what they mean. - Tue Aug 5 2008, 11:46

Estela Haese answered:
I recently listed and sold 20811 Viola Park , Summit at Bulverde Creek in 8 days. There are a lot of military people coming in now to work at Fort Sam and BAMSE. I would listed with an experienced Realtor who has a proven marketing plan. Try selling first, rental is always a possibility. You can also listed it for rent and for sale at the same time with a company like mine that would allow you to do that. Hope everything will work out for you and feel free to give me a call. All my best. Estela - Sun Jul 20 2008, 13:27

Shavano Park is a great area to live. Prices are going up and in my opinion an investment in the IH 10 West corridor, Shavano Park and the Alamo Heights area are good today and will be appreciating in the future.However, I would take advantage of the great opportunities in the resale market.
