For Kuper Sotheby's Realtor Kerri Hoermann, it all comes back to a motto: "love where ya live."

She makes sure that this notion is at the forefront of every real estate transaction she's involved in, whether it's finding someone their dream home or using cutting-edge trends to get her sellers top dollar.

Hoermann began her real estate career in 2004, when she and her husband followed her family's deep Texas roots and settled in San Antonio. She knew immediately that her focus would never be about "the deal," but rather about building long-lasting relationships with her clients and digging deep into their goals and dreams so she could match them with their ideal house. The goal, even from early on, was for everyone to love where they live.

In 2007, Hoermann obtained her broker's license, and then went on to earn the designations of Certified Negotiation Expert, Certified Residential Specialist, and Graduate Realtor Institute. Gathering these professional extras required additional classes and high levels of production, but going above and beyond isn't unusual for Hoermann.

She and her husband, both proud Texas A&M Fightin' Aggies, also find time to volunteer in their community and with their church in between raising their three children.

We chatted with Hoermann to find out more about her work and what drives her.

CultureMap: What’s one piece of advice you’d give to people looking for their dream home?

KH: Take the time to search and trust your gut. I believe everything happens for a reason, so if you’re running into a lot of obstacles then you may be hitting a legitimate road block that is there for a reason. Also, your gut will tell you things about a house or a transaction, and I think your gut feeling is oftentimes right.

CM: And advice to those who are selling?

KH: Hire a professional, like myself, who will tell you the truth. You should not hire someone who wants to inflate the price of your home, because statistics show you typically net less when you do that. Your agent should show you real sales data and use that information to price your home accurately. This results in less time on the market, fewer headaches with strangers coming into your home, and an overall easier experience.

CM: Sum up San Antonio in three words.

KH: Small town feel.

CM: What do you consider your "special skill"?

KH: I can read people really well, and I set realistic expectations. Paying attention to the details of what people are saying helps me determine what motivates them, which in turn is useful during negotiations.By breaking down my clients' options, educating them with facts, and then giving them the different scenarios that could occur, they are always well informed and prepared.

CM: Finish this sentence: "It's a good day when..."

KH: I make my clients happy, and get to come home to spend quality time with my family.

New multifamily community opens near Stone Oak restaurants and shopping

The new community offers 291 units.

A new multifamily community is now open to prospective residents in San Antonio. Greyson Luxury Living comprises 291 units at 1734 N. Loop 1604 West, with a focus on lifestyle amenities. But the location will be the main draw for many.

Apartment floor plans range from one to three bedrooms, starting at $1,317 for one bedroom and one bathroom, and working up to a base price of $2,611 for three bedrooms and two baths. The community's pet policy according to the website is: "We welcome all your furry friends at Greyson."

Residents will get reserved parking and a garage with EV charging stations, but it might not always be necessary to hop in the car. The apartments are directly adjacent to restaurants like Cover 3, Eddie V's Prime Seafood, and Blü Prime Steakhouse — not exactly everyday eats, but there's tons more at the Vineyard Shopping Center and the Stone Oak neighborhood's Blanco Market Shopping Center across the highway.

In addition to restaurants, the community is less than a five-minute drive from H-E-B Plus, Whole Foods Market, Target, fashion and furniture stores, and multiple fitness studios like StretchLab and LA Fitness.

A press release promises wood-style flooring, quartz and granite countertops, and ceramic tile backsplash. On the more utilitarian side, it offers single-basin sinks, kitchen islands, "spacious" pantries, a stainless-steel Energy Star appliance package, and washer and dryer connections. (Images shared by the complex so far appear to be more illustrative of the desired vibe than the actual space.)

Every floor plan also shows a private patio or balcony. The most expensive floor plan — the three-by-two — has a wraparound outdoor space.

For shared spaces, a resort-style pool with a tanning shelf (a very shallow area for placing lounge chairs) and bike storage encourage residents to get outside, and a dog wash station makes it easy to leave dirt and hair outside of apartments. There's also a fitness center, a clubhouse with wi-fi, elevators, and concierge services.

“We developed Greyson as a luxury multifamily community aimed to fit any type of lifestyle, and we are grateful for all of our partners that helped bring this project to life,” says Ed Garahan, partner and CEO at Carbon Companies, the development firm heading the project.

Carbon Companies also sold the Addison Medical Center Apartments, Ventura Ridge, Triomphe Apartments, and Pecan Springs Luxury Apartment Homes, with more in the works in San Antonio.
