Welcome to Gary's Corner

Updated February 27, 2009

I hope you find it helpful learning something about the Realtor you may be working with. A little bit about Gary Prendergast:

Very Proud Grandpap of Jonas (Butch) Torres, Bradley Bell and Chelsea Quintanilla.
Proud Father of Suzan Bell (of Bangor, Maine); Sandra Johnson and Sheri Torres (of San Antonio, Texas)
Wonderful, devoted, witty husband for 43 years to Judy Prendergast (she may or may not agree with that description).
"Master" (ha-ha, who do I think I'm kidding) of Lucas, our big boy...always on alert, German Shepherd Dog; Samantha, "she knows she's cute" Portuguese Water Dog and our newest addition Magnus, German Shepherd Dog pup who loves to terrorize Lucas and Sam.
Retired Senior Master Sergeant, First Sergeant, United States Air Force.
Owner of an "800 pound Hog", '05 Harley Davidson Road King Classic motorcycle...with all the trimmins'. Judy and I love to get out in the country and ride with our friends of the Caliente HOG Chapter.
Web Master and member of the German Shepherd Dog Rescue of San Antonio. Please take a moment and visit their web site (see link on my home page). Helping raise my grandkids and rescuing German Shepherd Dogs is a big part of my life.
I have been in real estate for over eighteen years and know San Antonio and the surrounding area like the back of my hand.
I love what I do and greatly enjoy being with my clients and customers. And....I'm the best Realtor you can work with in selling, buying or renting a home.

If you are coming to San Antonio, let me be one of the first to say "Hi, Ya'll and welcome to our wonderful piece of Texas." If you're already here, then "Hello neighbor." My family and I lived in many places during our 24 year Air Force career but San Antonio is without a doubt the best. It can be very disturbing, yet exciting, to pick up and move the family to an unfamiliar place. We know what it's like to sell that special home where your family has grown, but to be moving on to bigger and better things. I promise to help you get through it.

If you are considering buying a home, perhaps these questions are on your mind:

Where are the schools?
Will my kids be safe?
If I work at night will my family be safe?
How close am I to my work place?
How do we get the electric turned on?
Where am I going to find a new car insurance agent?
Is this a nice neighborhood?
Should I buy a new or pre-owned home?
Do they allow pets in a rental home?
Does the home include a refrigerator?
Where is the grocery store?
Do I have to learn how to ride a horse and say "Ya'll?" (short for "You-uns")
How soon can we get our new home?
Where do we find a bank that will loan us money for our home?
Do we qualify for a loan?
Will my mother-in-law move in with us?

And...if you are considering selling your home:

Should I sell my home?
How much will I get for it?
What is our home worth?
How much will it cost me to sell it?
What needs to be fixed before we put our home on the market?
How long does it take to sell a home in my neighborhood?
How do we know who is going to show our home?
How does a real estate company list our home for sale?
Do we need to paint our home?
How do we get through this whole process without problems?
Does my home always have to be ready for buyers to view? (YES!)
Why should I hire a Realtor instead of selling it myself?
Do we REALLY have to move after we sell it? (I've had children ask me this)

I have the answers to these questions and a whole lot more. As for your mother-in law...I don't have the answer.

Humor aside, your best tool for selecting home is education. Buying or selling a home should be a good experience but can be complex and give you a headache. My clients know what their options are before they sign paperwork to sell, purchase, or lease a home. They use my many years of Realtor experience and we get the job done. Real Living Best Homes Real Estate is a very successful company with the "know-how" and facilities to meet your needs.
