Beyond that, she was an amazing advocate who went to bat for us over and over again. Whenever we had a questions or concerns she would answer the phone with a detailed response, no matter our question. She was never pushy and always gave my husband and I the space to make decisions every step of the way. However, when we needed her expertise and experience she always gave a straightforward answer that included the pros and cons of each option. She never hides and ball and can explain the second and third order effects of a decision with clarity. Petra's work ethic, enthusiasm for her job, and expertise is truly special.
In short, Petra is the person you want in your corner when making a big decision like a home purchase. We absolutely loved working with her! read lesskara i.It was such a wonderful experience working with Petra from... read moreIt was such a wonderful experience working with Petra from start to finish. We are new to the area and Petra worked with us every step of the way to find the best neighborhood and the most wonderful home. The market has been so crazy for buyers lately and it seemed like every home was getting snatched up as soon as they were listed. When we found our dream home Petra immediately helped us to submit our offer and take all the necessary steps to get it accepted and make it ours. She was even able to convince the sellers to make several repairs even though that is exceptionally rare in the current market. We ended up getting a wonderful home in a great neighborhood and we did it without breaking the bank thanks to Petra. We will definitely recommend her services to anyone seeking a professional and experienced agent. read less

I can't give a strong enough endorsement of her. She's a total professional with a wealth of knowledge about all aspects of the home purchasing process and it was truly amazing to see her operate on our behalf.
She made our home purchasing process as stress free as it could possibly be for us. The entire time, we knew we were in great hands. The situation for our particular home purchase had so many nuanced conditions and, at every step, she moved with great control and detailed understanding. Her eyes are glued to the ball and she carried the entire situation to the finish line.
She delivered so many wins for us that I cannot express enough gratitude. Through her, we were able to purchase our dream home and we got an unbelievable deal on the situation. I attribute all of that to her. She stands head and shoulders above every other realtor I have ever come across or heard about.
Petra is someone you can fully trust. It was a refreshing experience to know that professionals like her still exist. She is truly an expert! read lessJoshua L.I have been in real estate investing for close to... read moreI have been in real estate investing for close to 15 years now and have worked with many real estate agents across California, Texas, and Florida. I would rate Petra in the top 1 percentile of all agents I have worked with. Her professionalism, work ethics, responsiveness, and most importantly integrity are second to none. It is very difficult to find an agent who is very honest about their opinions and prioritizes honest advice over pushing for a quick transaction. She also listens carefully to your needs and then does all the homework to narrow down the list based on your criteria which very few agents have the patience to do. Whether you are an investor or a buyer for your primary residence I would highly recommend Petra.

Petra Richardson is the BEST! She helped us find our first home in the middle of a pandemic and from long distance. Yet, I never felt disconnected or had to wonder what was going on because she kept us in the loop and walked us through every step of the process. Her communication and customer service consistently exceeded my expectations. She always made herself available when we needed her. I especially appreciated her professionalism and passion when dealing with our difficult mortgage team. When they weren’t on the ball, Petra stepped in with her expert knowledge to ensure things were done correctly and on time. She was truly an advocate for us and went above and beyond. I recommend her to my closest family and friends. Petra is #1 on Angie’s List and rated 5 stars across the board for a reason, y’all. So stop reading reviews and just call her already! read less

Call Petra if you need an expert on your side!... read moreCall Petra if you need an expert on your side! We cannot say enough about Petra. We were/are truly fortunate that we had/have Petra on our side.
We contacted Petra Richardson with Home Team of America to help sell our home at the suggestion of a friend. It turns out that was the best advice and decision made. In just the few minutes into our meeting, we realized we were talking to a top-notch real estate agent. Upon further visiting with her she had a solid plan to sell our home. Petra took the time to thoroughly explain to us the selling process and made us feel at ease knowing that she would be there for us at every step. Petra provided guidance and suggestions on the best way to prepare the house for sale - which items to concentrate on and which ones we shouldn’t. She saved us plenty of time and money from the get go. While we were preparing the house, she was still hard at work setting things in motion. Once we the house was ready it was showtime and Petra went into action doing what she does best. She brought in a professional photographer for the house pictures; she thoroughly walked us through the market assessment to price it right; and promptly listed the house. She kept us informed every step of the way and we never felt like we were on our own to figure things out. No question we had was too big or too small for her. And she was always ready with an answer.
Once the showings began, we had several offers the very first day! Again, Petra’s expertise and professionalism came through as she patiently explained to us the pros/cons of each offer and provided guidance to us. Ultimately the decision was ours to make but we could not have done it without the additional information she provided to us. Petra could’ve stirred us to a higher offer to make a higher commission but that is where she differs from other realtors. She undeniably puts her client’s interest ahead of hers and goes to fight for them. Petra had our back.
After we accepted one of the offers and hit some snags during the appraisal. We thought the closing date was not achievable due to some of those snags and then that the deal was going to fall through. Petra quickly stepped in and worked tirelessly to successfully resolve them while still keeping our best interest in mind. She truly is the BEST of the BEST in the business. Petra surpassed ALL our expectations. Her field knowledge, open communication, honesty and true care for clients make Petra a one-of-a-kind realtor.
Petra not only helped us sell our home, she also helped to find a realtor in our future home state (North Carolina). Petra interviewed that realtor, without us asking her, to ensure that we had someone of her caliber working for us in that state. Petra also helped us to find a lender that saved us thousands of dollars in closing costs. Buying a home is one of the most important purchases in anyone’s life and is very stressful, especially with all the legalities, one needs a real estate expert. Petra IS THAT person. She will always be our go to realtor and highly recommend her to anyone needing to buy or sell a home in San Antonio Texas & surrounding areas – now or in the future. Thank you Petra! read lesslentsvIf you’re looking to sell, look no further than Petra... read moreIf you’re looking to sell, look no further than Petra as your choice for listing agent. With her guidance and direction, our home went from listing to sale in less than 12 hours! Petra went above and beyond in ensuring our house looked its best with professional photography and staging. She even provided some of the items we used for staging, ensuring a quick sale. Bottom line…if you want the best representation for your home sale, you should get in contact with Petra! read less

I always do significant research and after many hours, I concluded Petra would be the best person to start with. After a long initial talk, I knew Petra would be great and we entered an agreement. I lived out of state so she would have to be responsive, aggressive, and professional to make a deal work. She was all of those things and much more. She toured houses for us on FaceTime and when we finally found one we loved, she got the deal done for us. She knows everything there is to know about real estate. She has our interests 100% in mind with every move we made. We bought a house without every having visited it because of the trust we had in Petra. I would use her again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to anyone wanting to use the best agent in the San Antonio area! read less

Petra not only sold us our home in 2012 but when it came to sell 6 years later there was only one choice. As we were landlords for the last few years, our home unfortunately suffered from some significant damages from the tenants. We were long distance owners and were so worried about the entire repair process. Petra reassured us and said “please don’t worry, I’m going to treat your home as my own during the repair process”. She most definitely did that and in our opinion went above and beyond the duties of a realtor. We had no reservations and had the utmost trust in Petra being our eyes and ears with the contractors and inspectors. She was always there for us and when it came to the sale of our house, she made the suggestion to stage our home. Not only that, with her keen sense she actually told the staging company which colors to use. She really proved herself as an amazing professional because the photos taken after staging resulted in the sale of our house ON LINE in only 2 days with a full price offer. Petra is not only the most knowledgeable, conscientious, trustworthy realtor we’ve ever worked with (we’ve bought and sold 6 homes) she has become a dear friend in the process. Whether you are buying or selling a home, please do yourselves a big favor and call Petra. We wholeheartedly recommend Petra and guarantee that you will be very glad you called her. read less

We first met Petra in 2010 before we retired from the military and Petra helped us find our first home. Eight years later and we decided to downsize and Petra was the first person we called. From planning to staging and placing our home on the market, Petra sold our home on 24 hrs! This woman knows the business and will take care of all whom have the honor of meeting her. We love Petra and will forever be a part of our family! read less

I never had to say to her "this does not meet the criteria I gave you." She is EVER-SO-KNOWLEDGEABLE and professional. She will hold your hand through the process, ONLY as much as needed (hence, she never treated me like a dumb child). I have absolutely no issues recommending Petra to anyone who is looking to buy or sell. When I am ready to sell, her phone will be the first one I dial without hesitation. read less

This is now the 3rd time I have used her services to buy and sell homes in San Antonio. Each time Petra worked overtime to get the job done. This event was the selling of my property. The day the house went on the market I had 5 bids! Petra ensured all the details were flawlessly executed. I give her my highest recommendation and recommend her to anyone buying or selling in the San Antonio TX area. read less

As our Realtor, she helped us find the right house in the right neighborhood for the right price. She was patient to look at homes over several months and cautioned us about making unreasonable offers when we fell too quickly for overpriced homes.
In short, she was always on our side working to make our house purchase as simple and successful as possible. The best part about working with Petra was that she was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs than she was on closing a deal. We would recommend her to anyone.
Petra has been there every step of the way. She has always answered every call or email no matter what time of day or night it was. Her professionalism, mentorship, knowledge, honesty, and hard work ethic are much respected and appreciated. I never felt that she was just trying to sell me a house, but that she was a mentor to answer my questions and help me to make the best decision for my family.
I now consider Petra a friend and would highly recommend her to anyone that is searching for a new home. Thanks again to Petra Richardson and the Pilgrim Mortgage team for being such a pleasure to work with. read lessTariq A.Petra was very knowledgeable in the area that we sold... read morePetra was very knowledgeable in the area that we sold our home and even told us that it was not time to sell when we told her our timeline so she listened to our needs not just pushed the sale. She helped us stage as well as walked the house several time to make sure we had everything showroom ready. Home sold in less than a week and over asking. She even helped us negotiate the construction of our new home. Highly recommended. Thank you Petra. read less

She takes the time to ask questions so YOU get exactly what you NEED. Often when my husband and I found ourselves settling on something, Petra would remind us that the property didn’t have a green belt and that was really important to us (she can recall your requirements so when you are out looking around you don’t settle for less). Petra will be with you til the end and makes things happen even if you’re up against tight deadlines. She is a wealth of knowledge and can put things into prospective so you follow along every step of the way. read less

My friends, whom I’m eternally grateful to, recommended Petra. They worked with Petra and have been buying houses for quite some time and said “She’s the best realtor they’ve ever worked with.” I very much trust these people and was excited at what praise they gave new realtor and couldn’t wait to get in touch with her. The next day she called and we started what will be a memorable relationship. This was a long-distance type of relationship, as I’m unable to visit the houses before deciding to buy. I’m currently in the military and wanted a home ready for my family when we arrive at our new duty station instead of working a new job and looking for a new house. This was also our first time purchasing a home. Sounds like a perfect recipe for a complete disaster… In this situation, (long distance and unable to visit) it’s important to have someone on the other end that you can trust and has your best interest in mind and the experience with the real estate industry to back it up. I can whole-heartedly say that Petra had not only my best interest as a priority, but my families as well. We located a potential house in a great community with top rated schools. Petra negotiated the price and the seller accepted an offer well below asking. She continued to negotiate during the active option and we received the best possible outcome for the house. I took quick notice how Petra had a course of action for all scenarios because of her immense experience and real estate strategy. Petra looked at our current, laughable mortgage quote and recommended another company who gave us an incredible quote. She was with us every step of the way and I can’t thank her enough. She continues to reach out even after the purchase has been completed to make sure we’re good. I highly recommend Petra Richardson because of her professionalism, and experience (20+ years in real estate). Most of all because she cares. read less

Petra was, or shall I say IS phenomenal! There was at no point where we felt the need to question her knowledge, experience or judgment! Never have we experienced a performance on such a professional level, if you pass up a opportunity to use her as a realtor you are doing yourself a grave disservice! Thank you so much Petra, we are so in love with our new home. read less

It’s hard because you can’t really explain the awesomeness of... read moreIt’s hard because you can’t really explain the awesomeness of the amazing Petra in just a paragraph but I did my best. Petra Richardson is God’s gift to real estate. Not only is she the sole reason I was able to be a home owner at 22 years of age, but she is also the reason I was able to sell my house at full asking price (more per square foot than all comparables) with no closing costs (didn’t pay closing costs when I purchased through her either). But here’s the kicker…she did it in less than 8 hours! Which was huge, because I’m in the military and had last minute orders to move across the country. She is absolutely amazing! When working with Petra a couple things will happen that will amaze you. First, it doesn’t feel like work. I’ve spoken with other realtors before and it feels very much like going to a used car lot. Some guy with a bad tie tries to talk you into a purchase that you will later regret. Petra is just the opposite. She gives honest advice and even talked me out of a couple houses. Probably my favorite though, is that even though I know that she was working with other clients as well, I always felt like I was her only client. She’s seemingly ALWAYS available, she always answers her phone and responds to emails…I mean really, there’s no other way to put it, it feels like you’re her only client. Bottom line, I was a 22 year old with a little money saved that knew nothing about real estate. After working with Petra, I’m now a 24 year old that has bought and sold a home and made thousands doing it. If you’re buying a house in the San Antonio area and you don’t use Petra Richardson, you’re making a mistake. read less
johngreen5893I have worked with Petra Richardson a member of the... read moreI have worked with Petra Richardson a member of the Home Team Realtors since October of 2016; it has been a perfect delight to work with an agent of her caliber. I was an out state buyer new to the San Antonio area and had entertained other realtors in the area for the purchase of a new home.
I because of my disabilities (M.S.) had very specific ideas on what I was looking for in a home. Dealing with a sellers’ market and the usual mantra of many realtors of close close close. I had found the other realtors I had work with usually where dis-interested what I wanted but instead what I could live with. I had found Petra Richards on Angies List and had found her to be very well rated specifically for client commitment and service. I had called her and was immediately put at ease that she was a realtor that was in it for the long haul and not just for the quick sale. She requires no exclusive contracts as many of the previous realtors had required. During my 7 months search for the right home, Petra remained always positive and committed to finding a home with the requirements that I had outlined.
Petra during my long search for a home never made me feel that I was wasting her time which at times even I had questioned but had always made me feel that her efforts where always about me.
I greatly admired her professionalism, her real estate savvy, her phenomenal memory and the care and concern she demonstrates to the client she represents. I can give her no higher recommendation and would recommend to all who might be looking to buy or sell in the San Antonio real estate market to please give her a try. You will not regret it. read lessLance M.Petra is a first class realtor that exceeded my... read morePetra is a first class realtor that exceeded my expectations.

She is very knowledgeable and I wouldn’t dream of using anyone else ! read less

In this experience, my boyfriend and I were building a new construction home. I must make it known that not all Realtor's have the expansive knowledge and experience as Petra in the new home construction realm so it is very important to have someone like Petra who has your back throughout the whole process and is looking out for your best interest. The builder is not on your friend or on your team, but Petra is! The builder just wants your money, build your home as fast as possible and take hidden shortcuts without you noticing. As always, my buying experience with Petra from beginning to end was leaps and bounds above average! My advice is to always have the best, so go for Petra! read less

I cannot recommend her enough and when you do hire her as your realtor, she will walk you through everything and you can be absolutely sure that she has your interest in mind and is not afraid to fight to get you what you are paying for.

Petra came very highly recommended by a friend and I can definitely see why. If I could only use one word to describe her, it would be "incredible". She was professional in every way and made the entire process easy for me to understand. She provided me with excellent tips to help me sell my house faster and for more money. As it turns out, I got an offer of my asking price within the first 24 hours of my house being on the market. There were several hiccups along the way with the buyers and even more with the lending company, but throughout the entire process Petra was nothing less than amazing. She is a very headstrong woman and she did not allow the lending company to slack off. She constantly stayed in contact with them and with me. I was always kept up to date of what was going on and Petra was always very good about responding to my phone calls, text messages, and emails in a very timely manner, even if it was late at night or on the weekends. I really felt like she went the extra mile to provide me with the best service possible. Even when there were issues with the buyers or the lending company, I was never that worried because I had Petra in my corner and I knew that she would fight for my best interests. Because of Petra's expertise, my house was priced appropriately and her estimates on what my house could appraise for and what my closing costs would be were right on the money. Prior to hiring Petra, I had consulted with another sales agent that told me that I wouldn't be able to sell my house for anything more than $105,000. With Petra, I sold it for $115,000, which turned out to be by far the highest selling price for comparable homes in my neighborhood. If I ever need to buy or sell a house again I will definitely be calling Petra first. I will also recommend her to any of my friends or family members that are considering buying or selling a house. read less

We benefited from her expertise for the first time in 2013 when we bought our new home in Helotes, TX, and the second time when we sold this same home in 2016.
Both times she went well above and beyond her job of buying or selling homes. We have bought and sold many homes over the past fifty years and Petra definitely ranks at the top!
She answered all our questions in a timely fashion, she represented us and negotiated deals for us with the utmost highest standards and we could not be happier with the buying and selling experiences that Petra gave us.
We have never filled out a survey before meeting Petra Richardson, but she really deserves a great review.

I’ve never had a loan, I had never even checked my credit before, but guess what… thanks to Petra, I’m the proud owner of a 3 bedroom house. Any question I had, Petra had the answer. Any person I needed (lender, insurance, etc.) Petra knew the person to call. She’s so available it feels as if you’re her only client. Even now after I’ve purchased the home and everything is done, she’s still there when I have a question. Petra Richardson goes far and beyond all expectations of a realtor. I would refer her to anyone in a heartbeat without hesitation. If you’re looking for a realtor, Petra Richardson is the person to call. read less

Petra sold my home in San Antonio after I had lived in it for three years and had to move to another city for work. A previous real estate agent I’d started working with kept giving me a laundry list of things I needed to do, and frankly, having never sold a house before – I felt overwhelmed.
Besides feeling overwhelmed, I had a new job that was absorbing all my time – and I didn’t want to have to be distracted by dealing with anything home-sale related. Petra assured me that she’s sold homes for folks that had to leave the country for the military or business, and so I put my trust in her.
She was constantly communicating, but not giving me a list of things I had to do… it was what she recommended, and when I approved the expense, she made it happen. In just a couple of weeks, the entire house was painted, haulers came to take away debris left from when I moved, lawn professionals handled the yard, and the interior of the home was staged.
She listed the house higher than two previous agents thought I should list it for – “just to see what happens” she said, but she knew the area and market so well, even commenting on stats about how long it had been since there were no other homes in my community for sale. We got an offer in a week for the full asking price – and I didn’t have to lift a finger other than to swipe my cell to call or text Petra.
The negotiation was not hard, but it was abnormal because the buyer wanted to move in early and rent the home from me before the closing – and Petra handled all of that with ease and ensured that as a landlord (albeit only for a couple of weeks) that I was fully protected.
If I ever move back to the San Antonio area, the only agent I’d call is Petra. Not only that, I’d personally recommend her to my friends who are moving to or from the area, and a recommendation from me is pretty tough to get. read lessbenial1029 -
Petra Richardson is the absolute best Realtor I have ever... read morePetra Richardson is the absolute best Realtor I have ever encountered in my entire life! Not only was she an amazing Realtor but she was there for me after the buying process was completed and helped me figure out a few things in my life. She is all around #1!!! My type of home buying experience with Petra was new construction. I originally started building with one builder in Stillwater Ranch but then I decided to back out and wait a few more months to figure out exactly what I wanted in a new home. Petra assisted me throughout the entire process and I was able to recoup my earnest money without any complications. About 8 months later, I finally decided to build a home in The Summit at Alamo Ranch. Petra again was there throughout the entire process and made me feel like I was her only client (even though I know I wasn’t lol)! She made sure that the builder did not take advantage of my lack of knowledge in the buying process and went even further by making sure I got the best rate on my mortgage! I was completely happy with the entire buying process and appreciate how easy and smooth she made everything go. Petra most definitely will not back down from those pushy builders either; she will fight to make sure you get exactly what you want. Petra is amazing and a top tier Realtor for sure! You cannot go wrong with Petra!!! If she ever stops being a Realtor, I am not sure what I will do! No one can even come close to her level. I am already looking forward to my next buying experience with her! read less
DanaMaureschatWe used Petra and her team as our real estate... read moreWe used Petra and her team as our real estate agent upon the recommendation of a friend in September 2015 to sell our house in San Antonio. We are living in New Jersey at this time. We spoke with Petra on the phone and then met with her at our home. She spent hours answering our questions, providing objective data regarding how many homes they sell, how long their listings typically stay on the market, and providing tons of info on comps in the area. We were concerned that our house which had been a rental would be tough to sell. Petra made the process incredibly easy and took extra steps many other Realtors don't (but should), like give us honest opinions and tips about renovating the house, having professional photographs taken, and a lot more. When we saw our listing we were blown away. Her hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home really paid off - our listing looked amazing and knocked out the competition. The team put a lot of effort into marketing and advertising the house on Social media e.t.c. We had 32 showings in 4 1/2 days. The first day we had already an offer and ended with 9 offers on the 5th day. Our house went under contract 5 days after we put it on the market over the asking price.We sold $12/per sqf higher than the previous 12 month for this area. We accepted the offer and Petra walked us through every step of the closing process. It couldn't have been a more pleasant experience. I've recommended the Home Team of America to everyone I know. She's a true professional and a genuinely nice person. I realize it won't always be this easy to sell your home, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better Realtor. read less

Petra Richardson is just simply the BEST real estate agent!... read morePetra Richardson is just simply the BEST real estate agent! There are not enough superlatives to describe her professionalism. I have worked with her in both buying and selling a home and both times the process was seamless.
Was it just good fortune that I found Petra on my original out of state search for a home in San Antonio or is she just the hardest working real estate agent in San Antonio? It took longer than anticipated to sell our home in Colorado in 2009 because of the market at that time, but she continued to provide me weekly listings that fit our search. She never waivered during the process and when we did finally arrive, we got the perfect home for us, at the right price, and she remained a good friend after the sale.
Fast forward to 2015 and I needed to sell my house to move out of state. Petra and her team were my only call. She had her assistant, Liz Duran, come in and stage my house to promote it's best features and had professional pictures taken that garnered out of state offers, site unseen. My house sold in less than 48 hours with multiple offers, exceeding the asking price.
My only regret is that I can't take Petra with me on my new out of state search. Regardless if you are buying or selling, Petra is the one you want. read lesspmeppingerRichard and I could not have anyone better than Petra... read moreRichard and I could not have anyone better than Petra Richardson. Petra is an excellent Realtor and we definitely recommend her to everyone. If we had to go through this again, Petra is the go to person. She is attention to detail in terms of everything. We looked for everything we were looking for. Petra gave great advice and made sure we were well taking care of in every aspect. Throughout the whole process it seemed we were the only customers Petra had, that is how attentive she is. She will work at all hours of everyday to take care of you. Petra knows what she is doing and knows what she is talking about - trust her! I would trust her with my life!

Once it became too much and we received orders to Japan we knew we needed to try to sell the house again. Had a few rough patches with other realtors until I came across Petra Richardson. After doing some research on highly rated realtors, I decided to contact Petra to see if she could help us sell this home. She was amazing!!! She helped us every step of the way, including a few drop out contracts and never wavered in her commitment to sell our house. It was as if we had someone we knew closely who had our best interest and would fight for everything we deserved! She was completely open to the odd hours I had to call since we were on completely different sides of the world and time zones. I would recommend her to any family, especially military families! She is genuine and a true gem at her job! read less

We were first time home buyers so we needed hand holding the whole process through. Petra is very patient, and responsive to your needs and is never pushy or in a rush. She has your needs in mind and her goal is to find you the home you love and guide you through the process. She is the ultimate professional and her knowledge is based on her many years of experience in the industry, which benefit her clients greatly. Another plus to working with Petra is that you work and communicate directly with her and she is very prompt in correspondence and with getting back to you. The home buying process is long and complex, but Petra walks you through it step by step and always makes sure you are comfortable moving forward and have the questions answered. Additionally she is very warm and kind, and feels like family at the end of it all. She is present every step of the way from finding a home to home inspections, walk throughs and closing. She is an invaluable resource. We couldn't be more happy having worked with Petra and would and will recommend her to any home buyer or seller. read less
Yss1I moved here back in 2012 along with a close... read moreI moved here back in 2012 along with a close friend as we both got job transfers with our company to San Antonio. My buddy's wife selected Petra off her glowing reviews and was talking remotely with her for quite some time before we even made the trip out. My buddy and I arrived in town a few months ahead of our spouses to start working. I wasn't in a position to buy but I wanted to tag along with him to scout the area. I got to see Petra in action as she worked with my friend. Since he and I were temporarily rooming together, I would tag along on many of the showings Petra arranged.
She was amazing. Every single showing she arrived prepared and ready to answer anything we could throw at her. She took the time to explain each area of town we were in and would point out things with each house that we hadn't noticed and explained why it was a good or bad thing to consider. I could tell she was focused on finding the right home for my friend and not just making a sale. When it came time for him to finally settle on a house she was an expert on all the ins and outs of the process. She definitely struck me as a bulldog, ready to fight every inch for the best deal. The entire process went smoothly for him.
Fast forward two years and I'm finally ready to buy my own house. The thing is, I had been driving around myself and found a new construction neighborhood and a floorplan that I really liked. I could have just worked with the builder but I still called up Petra to rely on her expertise. She immediately remembered who I was and was ready to lend a hand with anything I needed. She met with myself and the builder and made them answer several questions I hadn't thought to ask.
We then entered a 6 month build and here is where she truly shined. Along the way, delays and issues with the build made me frustrated. I wondered if I had jumped the gun. I asked Petra if we could look at other houses while my build was going on. She didn't bat an eye and proceeded to take me through several parts of town on a bunch of showings over the span of a couple months. She went on vacation during this time but still had her assistant take care of us with more showings while she was gone and kept in touch the entire time! While I didn't find another house I liked better than the one I was building, the process did cement my decision with what I had. I really needed that. I had a bad experience with my last home in Chicago and she really helped me be at ease with buying again.
During all of this, I felt like I was her ONLY client! I know she's highly in demand and it's amazing how responsive and attentive she is. She's on point during every step of the process.
My parents are debating on moving to San Antonio or Tucson so I'm going to be giving her a call very soon! read lessslipspeed7 -

My husband and I had only one 3-day weekend to fly into San Antonio from Los Angeles - we didn't necessarily expect to be making an offer during our scouting trip. But Petra actually found us the home we FELL IN LOVE with! This is how it happened: After seeing one wonderful home, we were prepared to make an offer only to discover it had just gone under contract. Later that afternoon, Petra sent us a new listing in the neighborhood that just happened to come up that day. We called her and she jumped hoops to rearrange her day and meet us. The house was PERFECT for us! We knew there were already offers pending, but she coached us through our own offer, explained every step of the way, made wise suggestions, and trusted her instincts. And we GOT THE HOUSE!!! Prior to our weekend in San Antonio she had set up a personal portal for us on her realtor site with hand-picked properties she thought would suit us based on telephone calls and emails exchanged a few months before arriving. Her selections were thoughtful, smart, and within our budget. Since we were not familiar with the city, we trusted her to guide us into the neighborhoods that would suit us best. She always returned every phone call, text, and email incredibly quickly! The entire process was smooth and effortless.Now we have a house in Los Angeles to sell and I want a Petra-clone there to do it for us! She is the most talented agent we have ever worked with. We placed our hearts and our money into Petra's hands and she delivered us a home in our new city of San Antonio. read less

When we decided to put our condo on the market and move to a larger home we looked in the internet for a realtor in our zip code. Petra Richardson’s name appeared and we checked out her reviews. They were great. We called her to make an appointment and as usual the call went to voice mail so we contacted a couple other realtors (all calls going to voice mail). Petra was the only realtor who returned our call and in a timely manner.She met with us about listing our condo and we were very impressed with her; her professionalism and the information she gave us about listing our home. So we signed a contract with her. Immediately our condo was on the market and we were out looking for a house. Throughout our search we had many questions, concerns and thoughts. We have bought and sold over 8 homes in California and Arizona, but Texas was new to us. Petra was always just a phone call away. No matter what time day or evening we called or texted we had a response within 30 minutes.
Petra is by far the most knowledgeable and professional realtor we have ever worked with. And she is now our friend too. If we had a question or concern it was addressed so quickly and sometimes she addressed a concern before we could ask her about it. Having her help with dealing with the title company and our lender was absolutely priceless. The process is of course stressful, however, Petra was always there to calm us and explain every detail. I will call Petra in a moment’s notice should we need a realtor again and I will always refer her as the best, most professional realtor in San Antonio. read lessrfranzazMy 1st home buying experience with Mrs. Petra Richardson was... read moreMy 1st home buying experience with Mrs. Petra Richardson was a blessing.
I somehow got lucky in my search for finding and working with a real estate agent. After talking to several realtors, I finally came across several reviews and a very helpful website which belonged to Mrs. Richardson. This occurrence prompted my first call to her, which turned out to be my last when speaking with other realtors.
Because this was my first home buying experience, there were many questions and doubts on my end. Nonetheless, the information and process for doing so was explained quite clearly and this allowed me to finalize my commitment in the search for a home. After several houses and searches, I finally came across a home that was to be built from the ground up. This is where Mrs. Richardson and her assistant Liz Duran shined the most. Their experience with the final walk, finalization with appointments and paper work needed, and closing with the title company made me know that I was not going to be taken advantage of by others whose interest are theirs and not mine.
Just as well, I am confident that Mrs. Richardson steered me in the right direction with a great financial institution and inspector, which saved me money both in the present and in the long term. Without ever being pressured to go with her professional affiliates, I did shop around and did not find any (loans, including my own bank) that could beat what was being offered.
Looking for a home is definitely a stressful process and it is not something to be taken lightly. However the assistance provided by Mrs. Richardson was great!! I do believe that I was blessed with the right people at the right time. I am very happy with my new home. I am very happy knowing that others couldn’t have provided any better or come close to it, that which was provided to me by Mrs. Richardson and her affiliates. I was provided with the best and that is a great feeling.
So thank you again Petra for all your assistance!!

The advice she gave us and the work she did on finding a qualified buyer was priceless. Our property was unique in many ways, not all of them good, but Petra was willing and up to the challenge. I interviewed 3 agents about what to list at and what to do to prepare to sell. Petra came in with reasonable honest expectations, considering that the house was entirely burned to the ground, and the prior tenants trash still littered the property.
While we were shocked that we were presented a good solid offer in 11 days I was not entirely surprised. Petra's confidence, knowledge and honesty is evident from the moment you meet her.

During our initial meeting, Petra really listened to me about what my past experiences had been. I layed out on the table for her who I am and what I needed from a real estate agent. We then discussed who she is and how she works, the kind of service she provides, and what she needs from her clients to help them be successful in their real estate endeavors. We hit it off immediately because Petra is forthright, completely professional, honest, customer service driven, and most importantly, kind. There was never a time during my home search that Petra did not make herself available to me as quickly as she possibly could. I couldn't believe how responsive she was to me and how seriously she took getting me in to see the homes I was interested in, as quickly as possible. When we finally found the right property, Petra moved immediately to get my offer submitted while giving me sage advice so that I was successful in my bid. Mine was one of multiple offers, but I believe I got the contract because of Petra's advice and follow up with the listing agent. Most importantly, she was one step ahead of every single question or concern I had during the contract period. She literally would not allow me to worry, as she was working behind the scenes to make my home buying experience as seemless as it could possibly be. Working with Petra has been one of the best experiences I've ever had in any business dealing and more importantly, I also consider her a friend. Petra Richardson is the best example of what all real estate professionals should strive to be. read less

We then discussed who she is and how she works, the kind of service she provides, and what she needs from her clients to help them be successful in their real estate endeavors. We hit it off immediately because Petra is forthright, completely professional, honest, customer service driven, and most importantly, kind. There was never a time during my home search that Petra did not make herself available to me as quickly as she possibly could. I couldn't believe how responsive she was to me and how seriously she took getting me in to see the homes I was interested in, as quickly as possible. When we finally found the right property, Petra moved immediately to get my offer submitted while giving me sage advice so that I was successful in my bid. Mine was one of multiple offers, but I believe I got the contract because of Petra's advice and follow up with the listing agent. Most importantly, she was one step ahead of every single question or concern I had during the contract period. She literally would not allow me to worry, as she was working behind the scenes to make my home buying experience as seemless as it could possibly be. Working with Petra has been one of the best experiences I've ever had in any business dealing and more importantly, I also consider her a friend. Petra Richardson is the best example of what all real estate professionals should strive to be. read less

She successfully negotiated a 13k savings from the original asking price of the owner. She caught mistakes by loan officers that could have delayed the closing. She recommended excellent inspectors and insurance companies that gave me the best options for the house. Since the closing, she has quickly responded to the big and little questions that have surfaced.
Expert...professional...quick...patient...Petra was just the best. I give her my highest recommendation, and have already recommended her to friends looking to buy. read lessuser4667226Let see, where do I even begin to tell you... read moreLet see, where do I even begin to tell you about Petra. We began in early March, I had to find a realtor for my family in San Antonio (SA) and so I started with Mr. Google (Mrs. Google, she knows more). I searched for "the best realty agent in San Antonio." There were many reviews regarding individuals in the business. As I began to sift through the plethora of agents Mrs. Google provided one began to stand out, Petra Richardson. So I mustered up the courage to give her a call and get the ball rolling. Petra had the most inviting personality that I immediately felt at ease.
I told her what we were looking for and she immediately went to work. Petra did wonderfully at providing tons of listings of homes that were intriguing to us. We had already been pre-approved so we thought everything was set. However, the bank we chose turned out to be a BIG disappointment (Wells Fargo) and the same with USAA and NFCU. They expected us to put down thousands of dollars that we were totally not prepared to do. We didn't think we needed it to begin with as we expected to use our VA benefits. Anyway, Petra came to the rescue with her resources and we contacted Jason with National Bank of Kansas City. Jason immediately went to work for my husband and I. Within days Jason came back with an approval for more than we anticipated after the first let down with the previously mentioned banks. Also, my husband and I were approved for the loan together!!! Not an option with the "other" banks. We were excited!! Finally our dream was coming true, now if we could only find "the" house. We must of looked at a dozens of homes, or at least it felt like it. We also had to realistically look at our "wants" and our "needs" to find the right home. We originally wanted something with a good deal of acreage, but after looking we could either not afford it or it was too far from the city to meet our needs. We fell in love with a few but they just weren't right. We had to make several trips to SA, which wasn't easy with my husbands or my work schedules. Petra was patient and drove us around tirelessly.
Our last visit to SA we looked at more homes before after not deciding to go further with an offer we had made and received a counter offer on. Boy am I glad!!! Petra found the perfect home for us to view and it was hard to choose with the other amazing listings she provided. My husband and I agreed on making an offer for one particular home, we previously had a hard time agreeing on the others. 🙂
So we made an offer on the home; but had received a counter from the sellers. This was great because we had originally wanted to offer their counter amount, but Petra advised to start low. 🙂 So, we accepted their counter and the process from start to finish was extremely smooth and we now OWN our dream home! It may not be what we wanted to begin with, but the home fits our needs and we ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! We cannot stress enough how instrumental Petra was throughout this process. She is incredibly cool, kind, down to earth and giving each client 100%. I loved the relationship that grew during our time with her. She wasn't just any agent that helped us buy our first home but a good friend that will go above and beyond. My advice is to listen to HER advice. It always paid out! By the way she likes to wear her jeans to work, but will keep it professional if need be!! So keep it casual and classy and get ready to have some fun!!! read lessuser7091622 -

During the process of putting our old home on the market, she took time to explain the whole process and discuss staging and cosmetic improvements that make the house show better. As is probably the case with most sellers, we thought the house was fine. Nevertheless, we worked diligently for nearly a week to accomplish the tasks. When we were done, it was very clear that she was right! In 6 days we had multiple offers and ended up getting more than we were asking. This was quite a shock to us because we had seen other houses in the neighborhood sit on the market for months at time.I was most impressed by an event that happened during the purchase of our new home. Yes, she provided all the great personal service that you would expect from a good agent - great communication, prompt service and responsiveness to inquires, but the kicker came near the end of search process. My wife and I had narrowed the list down to two houses - hers and mine. We both liked each house, but had different opinions which should be the final choice. Petra showed us each again, which didn't change our opinions. On the ride back from the showings, after my wife and I had shared our thoughts on each house, Petra looked at me and asked "Can I be honest with you?". Then she laid out several reasons why my house was not the best choice. A few hours later, after reflecting on her comments, I realized she was right and sent her an email to thank her. The kicker is that she steered us to the house that generated a significantly smaller commission for her. I will always appreciate what she did for us.We are very happy in our new home and I refer people to her as often as I can. read less

We had a limited idea of neighborhoods, schools, commutes or any of the other "incidentals" of life in this area. Petra's knowledge of the neighborhoods and the available real estate resulted in the purchase of our dream home in an area I thought untouchable.Petra was much more than a realtor to us. She counseled and nurtured us through the process at great personal expense to herself. I was deployed overseas at closing and Petra walked my wife through everything resulting in a seamless process and great peace of mind to me. Additionally, her knowledge of mortgage companies, title companies, inspectors and all the other ancillary companies involved in a home purchase was of inestimable help and resulted in a very favorable mortgage rate and closing costs.I cannot say enough about Petra! Without her, I am sure we would never have found or bought our home. We spoke with several other realtors before meeting Petra who did not seem at all interested in our needs or desires and were just "selling property". Petra became our friend and counselor and we cannot be more pleased with our home. I recommend Petra without reservation!Petra's knowledge of all aspects of the real estate process was of inestimable value to us. She has an extremely good grasp of the neighborhoods and real estate values in San Antonio, as well as valuable personal contacts with various service companies from Home Inspection and Septic through Mortgage and Title companies. Everyone we dealt with throughout the process was extremely knowledgeable, professional, helpful and pleasant and everyone had the same glowing comments about doing business with Petra.I haven't bought a home in a very long time and, needless to say, things have changed. Finding Petra was truly a blessing and her counsel, advice and connections made everything come together smoothly and effortlessly. She is much more than a realtor. She made our dream come true. read less

buying experiences. She will be there for all future ones! I have never
had such close, personal attention from anyone, anywhere, any place or any
time during a business transaction. Petra made this easy as pie! When
and if I decide to sell, she is the first person I will call. I have been
exposed to others who are buying and selling property. I hear their
comments about the poor service they have received. My girl never fails
me. She is always smiling, always professional, super, super smart and
knows this business. I highly recommend Petra. She is a friend and never
gets discouraged with me. I can be fussy! If you need a real go-getter,
she is the realtor for you.
Member Comments: Petra drove me around for days. I was looking for a
great investment property, just the right one. I came so close to
choosing one and then would find a reason to not! She was patient and
kept on going! This is my second property for investment and she was
there for me on the first one. I found the one and we closed in 3.5
weeks! I am now the proud owner of 2 properties and Petra is my realtor
forever! She helped me purchase the home we live in. That transaction
was not without pain, but she showed me her extensive knowledge and
tenacity when encountering obstacles. I have known Petra for a long time
and she always amazes me at her ease with people from the business world. Petra is the greatest realtor in San Antonio. She is the greatest realtor

Her negotiating skills are excellent, and she is the consumate professional. She has a wonderful sense of humor and is an excellent communicator. Key to her success is her ability to listen carefully and determine the wants and needs of her clients.

I had dealt with two realtors before Petra and realized after just a few minutes during our first conversation that she was the agent for me. She did her homework and presented many options to us very quickly. I did not have much time to look for a home and she cleared an entire day's schedule for me with only one day's notice. We made the rounds, and I made an offer on a house that day. It turned out that there was a very complicated and delicate encroachment issue with the property. Petra literally took charge of the situation from the seller's agent, negotiated between the seller and neighbor, and achieved resolution in quick fashion. She made sure all legalities were covered which allowed us to move into the perfect house in a great neighborhood. Besides that, she presented us with options for homeowner's insurance and lenders that saved us a lot of money and provided us with the best coverage. During the entire process, Petra kept us well informed and managed a very difficult transaction quickly and effectively. Besides that, Petra is a wonderful person and a joy to work with. I highly recommend her!!! read less

I've been a professional renter for 15+ years :), home ownership's risk vs. reward ratio never seemed good enough for me to bite. After spending just a few days with Petra, she helped me find an amazing property. I now have everything I ever wanted in a home and Petra saved me a lot of money in the process. Petra displayed that she was a true real-estate veteran especially in the final weeks before closing, advising us along the way. I have coworkers that were in awe of some of the things she successfully negotiated on our behalf. Our story:
We looked at SA real estate for almost 2 years and I've been hyper critical of the available housing inventory and its real estate agents. We felt we were doing our due diligence visiting our targeted neighborhoods & schools, researching the best builders, and (attempting to) predicting which communities will hold their value. We've spoken with a handful of Realtor's that sent us SABOR system generated housing lists that met our mandatory home requirements but that was it! No one bothered to attempt (for even a short time) to filter our other requirements before sending us the canned property listings. Zillow and Trulia pretty much did the same thing but they easily provided additional information about each property. Of the hundreds of homes that met our requirements we identified 12 homes that we were interested in when we first spoke with Petra. Petra had an opening the following day where she could show us a few properties. I selected a few homes in a neighborhood that I had my eye on. Petra knew the area well and thought it would be a great place to start due to the eclectic home styles in the area. After seeing the second home she encourage me to be candid and identify likes/dislikes on what we had seen so far...after all she was analyzing our interest. Honestly, she knew exactly what we were looking for by the end of the first day. She emailed me an updated listing that evening were she added/removed properties based on my feedback and explained why. She ended up refining my searches so well that by the time we reached our third day of property viewing I had 3 properties I wanted to purchase...not bad 🙂 read lessJeremy R.Petra succeeded where others had failed!

My home had previously been listed with a major Real Estate company for over six months with very little activity when a friend recommended that I give Petra a call. I had been transferred to a new work location on the East coast, and I needed someone I could trust with the sale of my home. Petra was exactly what I was looking for; she was motivated, professional and had several ideas for how to bring attention and new potential buyers to my home. After making the switch to Petra, the difference was obvious. The interest and showings increased dramatically, and the offers started to come in. After I accepted an offer, Petra continued to go above and beyond, making sure that any inspection issues were addressed and ensuring a smooth closing. Petra was a true professional and I was lucky I found her. I highly recommend Petra Richardson! read less

It was very frustrating, and infact, several other agents became disinterested because I fell just short of qualifying, even though I was clearly able to make a house payment. When we contacted Petra, from the start, she was showing us homes and talking to us about how to qualify, and when to try to purchase a home, due to our finances. She continued to make herself available to us, via phone, email, and even showing us homes even though she knew that we had been turned down for loans several times before. During the showings, she was very knowledgeable and would give us her honest opinion about the condition of the home, its value, etc. When we finally found a home we were interested in, she set us up with a finance specialist and told us exactly what we needed to do and what forms we needed to submit to qualify. She also handled/set up all the necessary home inspections, loan signing, she was basically involved in every aspect of our home buying experience. She was very friendly, caring, understanding, and truly concerned in helping us find a home that we could afford. We are now living in the same neighborhood, but paying less buying a home than when we were paying rent. We highly recommend Petra to anyone who is looking into buying a home.

She has the utmost pride in her work and she will make sure that things are followed through, including other parties responsibilities. As I began my journey of house hunting Petra took into consideration all the specifiics that I was looking for in addition to making sure that I was aware of all pros and cons. She truly had me and my family's best interest in mind. At one point I had her going back and forth between a couple of home as I was having a difficult time deciding and not once did she hesitate to show me and in addition she worked around my difficult schedule. Once we started the negotiation on the purchase of home, she made sure that my requests were granted and she walked me through the process. I felt confident throughout the whole process knowing that she was so knowledgable and new how to work through the system. I can not say enough on how well she follows through on items.

I could not have asked for better advice to contact her, she totally exceeded my expectations.
Petra is open, friendly, and dedicated, a positive, refreshing experience, after I had contacted other realtors which didn't even return my calls.
After her first visit I could tell that she absolutely loves her job and it showed with every action.
She is 100% reliable and organized, her knowledge about the entire process made me feel very comfortable, from the first signature to the moment she handed me the keys to my new home.
Petra had honest, straight forward answers to all my questions and concerns, pointed out things that didn't even occur to me, she returned my calls and replied to emails in no time, set up meetings and kept everybody in the loop to get things accomplished quickly.
Not only that she gave me useful hints to sell my other house, she bent over backwards to find me a new home within 2 weeks, AND got all the paperwork done in a timely manner!
Petra makes clients feel special and important, and I never felt pressured to make a decision. I would recommend her to anyone that's on the search for a new home.

When I first showed her the house I wanted to sell, she told me what I needed to do in the way of repairs and staging. I did what she told me to do and the house sold 16 days after it was listed. Petra made herself available on nights and weekends so that we could see properties that we were interested in. After she started to know our needs, she was remarkably able to tell which house would not be to our liking. She was also very helpful in pointing out potential problems with several houses we viewed.When we found "THE HOUSE" that we had to have, she probably saved us over $20,000.00 because I was intelligent enough to follow her advice (to my credit). She was also very helpful in every aspect of closing on both houses on the same day. I can't begin to describe how much help she was during a rather stressful period in our lives. She was always one phone call away and was honest and up-front about everything. This is the first time that I have ever sold a home and wasn't bothered by realtor commissions. She earned every penny then some.In my professional career in academics, I was frequently asked to write letters of recommendation. Some of the requests were denied because I felt that I could not give that particular employee my recommendation. It is both my honor and privilege to write this review for someone of her caliber. I can honestly state that she is so vastly superior to all other agents that I have worked with that I have no reservations about giving a perfect score to the perfect real estate agent. read less

I initially noticed all of Petra's positive reviews on zillow and decided to contact her for some information about a home that I was interested in seeing. I sent the request on a Sunday and Petra contacted me within the hour to answer any questions that I had about the property and to schedule a walk thru. Upon meeting Petra she was warm and friendly and made my wife and I feel very comfortable. We were first time homebuyers and Petra explained everything for us numerous times so that we understood every aspect of the process. After we gave her some criteria for our dream house, she found several properties that matched and immediately set up times for us to see them when it was convenient for our schedule. She was honest and forthcoming with any negative things that she noticed about our potential properties, and she would give us every bit of information that she could find, both good and bad, Buying a home is probably the largest purchase I will ever make in my life and Petra never made us feel pressured to buy or settle for something less than we wanted. When we did find the home we wanted, Petra walked us thru every step and took care of everything so that the entire process was simple and pain free. She is a great buyers agent because of her negotiation skills and knowledge of the homebuying/selling world. Petra helped us get a great price on the home we ended up purchasing; much lower than the seller's asking price, and less than I was expecting to pay. A great person to have on your side. If she missed my call, she would always return it right away, and she constantly updated us on any news or changes that had occured. By the time the process was over, she stressed to us that we could contact her at any time about anything. I have nothing but good things to say about Petra, there is a reason she has so much positive feedback. I definitely recommend her to anyone who is interested in buying a home or just finding out information about the process. read less

We emailed our first time home buyer wish list to Petra and she sent us many possibilities. She never pressured us to buy, but insisted on taking our time to shop around.

Once arriving to San Antonio we had many worries from finding a lender to getting the right neighborhood with good schools for our two daughters. Petra was patient to our needs and wants in our first home. She worked hard to get us what we were looking for in a home. Even when we went from one extreme to the next, Petra kept us grounded in our first home journey. Petra walked us through step by step and made the worries disappear! She fought tooth and nail to get us the best deals and lowest rates. Petra made our first time home buying experience a walk in the park.

Notable value-add qualities that Petra possesses are confidence, professionalism, and an incredible work ethic that directly parallels into a high level of service. throughout the process I bet I called Petras cell phone 25-30 times. She answered her phone when I called greater than 80% of the time (dispite the fact we were 1 of 3 closings she had in a week, so I know she was very busy). I was impressed with her integrity as well. Petra would tell me she was going to email me something and sure enough it would be in my email promptly.

Petra was by our side through the entire process from shopping to closing. She is very professional and knowledgeable. Petra negotiated a great deal for us and we are very happy with our new home. Would definitely use again and highly recommend. She started out as our agents and is now our friend. THANKS PETRA! read less

That house wasn't what we were looking for, but Petra was the realtor we were looking for. She is professional and patient. When we were ready to give up after looking at numerous properties for several months, Petra persevered and found the house we wanted, with the best features of all the houses we had seen. We have this house under contract, set to close the end of this month. Petra will work tirelessly for you, she has good time management skills and she can multitask. Real Estate is not a hobby or a part-time job for Petra. I believe she gets satifaction in finding a home for her customers, not just getting a sale. read less

I will continue to want her exclusively for any future real estate needs. She is a goldmine of information and knows every in and out in all sides of closing the deal. I love to see her in action. All parties in a transaction are treated with respect and she goes the extra 10 miles to take care of you. I value her knowledge and her friendship. Above all, I know that she makes me feel like I am her only client! When closing day comes, she is with you and able to explain all aspects of the legal highway. She has a rapport with people that brings the circle together. Everybody is happy! For me, there is no other person I want by my side. read less

She showed us around this beautiful city; however, my husband got a job in Austin, TX. So we had to look closer to the Austin area - and Petra was wonderful about helping us find a house in the Austin. She helped us through the whole process, and gave recommendations on financing, inspectors, utility companies, etc. Her help made the transition to move from another state very smooth. read less

She found the dream home that we wanted! Her knowledge of financing, VA, taxes, exemptions,closing, is unmatchable. She even advised us to switch financing halfway through the process because the mortgage company we were going to use was not being upfront with everything. If we ever buy another house, we will definitely use Petra again. THANKS PETRA, YOUR GREAT read less

She helped us find our first home in the middle of a pandemic and from long distance. Yet, I never felt disconnected or had to wonder what was going on because she kept us in the loop and walked us through every step of the process. Her communication and customer service consistently exceeded my expectations. She always made herself available when we needed her. I especially appreciated her professionalism and passion when dealing with our difficult mortgage team. When they weren’t on the ball, Petra stepped in with her expert knowledge to ensure things were done correctly and on time. She was truly an advocate for us and went above and beyond. I recommend her to my closest family and friends. Petra is #1 on Angie’s List and rated 5 stars across the board for a reason, y’all. So stop reading reviews and just call her already! read less

My husband and I were first time homebuyers in a crazy market and Petra was by our side every step of the way. Her knowledge and professionalism is superb.
Beyond that, she was an amazing advocate who went to bat for us over and over again. Whenever we had a questions or concerns she would answer the phone with a detailed response, no matter our question. She was never pushy and always gave my husband and I the space to make decisions every step of the way. However, when we needed her expertise and experience she always gave a straightforward answer that included the pros and cons of each option. She never hides and ball and can explain the second and third order effects of a decision with clarity. Petra's work ethic, enthusiasm for her job, and expertise is truly special.
In short, Petra is the person you want in your corner when making a big decision like a home purchase. We absolutely loved working with her! read lesskara iskenderian7/07/2021It was such a wonderful experience working with Petra from start to finish.

We are new to the area and Petra worked with us every step of the way to find the best neighborhood and the most wonderful home. The market has been so crazy for buyers lately and it seemed like every home was getting snatched up as soon as they were listed. When we found our dream home Petra immediately helped us to submit our offer and take all the necessary steps to get it accepted and make it ours. She was even able to convince the sellers to make several repairs even though that is exceptionally rare in the current market. We ended up getting a wonderful home in a great neighborhood and we did it without breaking the bank thanks to Petra. We will definitely recommend her services to anyone seeking a professional and experienced agent. read less
