These kind reviews mean so much to me! Not just because they’re thoughtful, but because they reflect what I strive for with every single client. To go ABOVE & BEYOND and exceed their expectations in a way that truly makes a difference for them. Though we were all 2,000 miles apart, that didn’t slow us down! We prepared the home, listed it “IN” the market, and staged it. Things went quickly and we were holding multiple offers within just a couple of days! Selling a home from a distance takes trust, teamwork, and patience and together, by golly, we got it done! 🙌🏽☀️

I’m incredibly thankful for your loyalty, confidence, and friendship throughout the years, Greg and Kelly. Clients like you make what I do so very rewarding and makes me proud of what I get to do on a daily. Sending big Texas hugs your way and wishing you both many blessings in this next chapter!

If you’re looking for a real estate partner who brings strategy, heart, and results that matter, I’d be so honored to help make your goals a reality (and dare I say, even make the process enjoyable ☺️). If selling and/or buying is on your mind this year, reach out now to get started!

Happy Birthday sweet, Collins!
I’m so honored to be your mother-in-law. From the very beginning, you have loved our family with kindness, patience, and a genuine heart, and that means more to me than words can ever express. You have become such a treasured part of our family, and I am grateful for the love you bring into our lives. Watching the life you and my son have built together has been one of my greatest blessings.

On your birthday, my prayer is that you feel deeply loved, celebrated, and appreciated. May this new year bring you abundant joy, good health, and countless blessings from God.

I love you very much and hope you have the most amazing birthday and a wonderful year ahead.

Happy Birthday! ❤️🎉

5.0 star review received on Experience.com for Laura Collins, ABR® by Greg C - Laura is great! It's so challenging trying to sell a house from 2000 miles away and Laura did a fantastic job helping and guiding us through this process. We couldn't be happier with everything she did to help us sell the house and so quickly, in a challenging market. The listing looked so good, I almost wanted to buy it back myself, haha!

A few years ago, my client purchased this beautifully renovated home so their daughter could experience life here, in my hometown of San Antonio. It was thoughtfully renewed with timeless updates, warm spaces, and a backyard that quickly became everyone’s favorite feature. Four years later, life opened the door to a new adventure, and while keeping the home was an option, they trusted me once again to help pass it along to its next owner. Our buyer faced a few unexpected hurdles along the way, but sometimes you just need to extend grace. None of the setbacks were the buyer’s fault, and I truly believe kindness and patience are the biggest gift you can offer. In the end, everything came together exactly the way it was meant to.

🤍 Now this home gets to begin another new chapter with someone else’s son......which is my favorite part! 🤍

📍 SAN ANTONIO APRIL 2026 MARKET UPDATE

If you’ve been wondering what’s happening in our local market… here’s the good news:

homes
are
still
selling,
but buyers are gaining more breathing room and sellers need strategy now more than ever!

A few highlights from April:

🏡 3,135 homes sold (⬆️ 2%)
💲 Average sales price: $369,963 (⬆️ 2%)
📊 Median price held steady at $307,000
📆 Days on market increased to 87 days
🏠 Inventory reached 6.09 months
📝 New listings jumped 11%
⏳ Pending sales dipped 8%
💰 Homes closed at 93.3% of original list price

What does that mean?

For buyers → You likely have more choices, more time to make decisions, and stronger negotiating opportunities than we’ve seen in recent years.

For sellers → Pricing, presentation, staging, and marketing matter more than ever. The homes winning right now aren’t always the most updated… they’re the ones positioned correctly from day one.

One thing I’m reminding my clients lately: this isn’t a bad market. It’s a more balanced market. And balanced markets create opportunities for people on both sides.

If you’re curious what these numbers mean specifically for your neighborhood, your timeline, or your home value, send me a message. I’d love to help!

Before you spend a dollar getting your SAN ANTONIO home ready to sell… read this first. 🏡One of the biggest misconceptions I see as a REALTOR® is homeowners thinking they need to renovate before they list. And I completely understand why. You want your home to show well and you want top dollar. But sometimes those expensive projects end up costing more time, more stress, and more money than they return.

Here’s what buyers are actually looking for:
A home that feels loved. Feels Clean. Looks Well Maintained. Move-in ready.

Most buyers are already walking through your home imagining their paint colors, their countertops, and their style. The upgrades you choose may not be the ones they would have chosen. The good news? The updates that usually make the biggest impact often aren’t the expensive ones.

Before I list any home, I walk through with my sellers and help them decide:
✔️ What’s worth doing
✔️ What to skip
✔️ What gives the best return
✔️ What will actually help us sell faster and stronger

And truthfully… more often than not, I’m talking people OUT of projects not into them.

If you’re thinking about selling in SAN ANTONIO, please don’t start tearing out kitchens yet. Send me a message first. I’d be happy to help you create a plan.

If we haven’t met yet, I’m Laura, your local Texas REALTOR® helping families buy and sell all across San Antonio + the Hill Country 🤍
