"I am pleased to say Jason was a true professional and a pleasure to work with. His attention to detail was invaluable and he did an excellent job of keeping us informed. These traits are particularly important."

Diane and Philip J Pfeiffer, Attorney, Of Counsel, Norton Rose Fulbright LLP

"When we received news that we were transferring out of state for a job opportunity, we wanted to sell our Terrell Hills home quickly. After interviewing several Realtors, we chose Jason. Jason and his team promptly ironed out the details with our relocation company, helped us prepare our home for sale and got the word out to other realtors before the home went public. We were under contract within five days. Jason worked hard to help us through the contract and the moving process. I would recommend Jason to anyone in San Antonio."

Mike Genau, Senior Vice President and President of US Region, Medtronic

"We had a very unique home to sell. We knew we had to work with a Realtor who would appreciate its uniqueness and value and take on the challenge to aggressively market our home. Jason Glast was that Realtor. Jason Glast and his team of real estate professionals did a remarkable job of marketing and showcasing our home to both Realtors and prospective buyers. Jason and his team worked patiently and tirelessly to consummate the sale of our home. Their performance was "beyond our expectations" in all respects."

210.687.9446 elizabeth@jasonglast.com

"Elizabeth is extremely knowledgeable and I really felt she had our best interests in mind versus just trying to make a sale. Elizabeth was direct, honest and helped us make informed decisions. She worked hard to get us the best deal possible, our negotiations were fair and honest and we were pleased with the final price. I am pleased to recommend Elizabeth Priest to anyone in need of a Real Estate Professional."

David Thackrey, Valero Energy Corporation "I was extremely pleased with the services I received from Elizabeth Priest. She was very professional, meticulous, and organized. Elizabeth was always available to answer/return my phone calls/emails promptly, spent time to answer all questions and offer advise. Her overall knowledge and expertise not only in the house buying process, but also in the Dominion area and Bentley Manor proved invaluable. Elizabeth was always willing to go the extra mile and I highly recommend Elizabeth Priest-a buyer could not hope for a better agent!"

Judy and John Genova, President/CEO, Sterling Chemicals, Inc.

"We have utilized Elizabeth's services twice since we relocated to San Antonio- that in itself should tell you everything you would need to know.

Her experience and professionalism has provided us a distinct advantage. We were able to twice find homes below market value in the Alamo Heights School District, a seller's market, and negotiate even lower, primarily due to Elizabeth's due diligence and hard work. I have recommended her services more than once and will continue to do so."

Luxury Home Magazine Realtor Profile

Kevin Crawford Purveyor of Awesome Houses, Rarely Politically Correct Accomplished Meat Eater, Delightfully Opinionated

uxury real estate agent. Family man. Bald L guy with the hat and boots. Marketing ninja. Poster child for A.D.D. Connoisseur of Cheetos and Cheeto-related products.

I’ve been called lots of things, most fit to print.

Today I’m going to let you know a little more about me, where I’ve come from, and why I do what I do.

Prior to real estate I was a marketing “gun for hire”, traveling the country to run grass roots marketing programs for clients like the NBA, NCAA, Microsoft and a few others. Running these programs taught me that grass roots marketing is the most powerful form of marketing that exists, as it creates a relationship with the consumer that can’t be duplicated by traditional advertising. It’s something I’ve carried over to real estate, and I believe it’s one of the reasons I’ve enjoyed great success in this industry.

So, why real estate? Was it because I LOVE houses?

Not really. Was it because I thought it would be a fulfilling career helping people achieve their dreams of home ownership? Nah. Quite simply, I love the art of the deal and doing things that others are intimidated by.

After two years I’d already listed and sold three homes in the $1,000,000 price range and was starting to be recognized in the industry. Before I

knew it I was consistently being recognized as one of the top agents in the area by he San Antonio Business Journal. I’ve sold everything from historic homes in King William to Ranches in the Hill Country to Manors in Alamo Heights.

Personally, I’m blessed with an amazing wife who puts up with my shenanigans and two awesome children. When I’m done working, the only place I want to be is with my family. For fun, I lead a softball ministry with a group of guys I’ve grown to love, practice Krav Maga and shoot guns (mostly in a controlled environment).

I’m so blessed to achieve what I have in this industry, and I look forward to many more years of the same success. But as hard as I work, I know that my success is solely due to Jesus Christ.

Without Him, I’d be nowhere. Because of our faith, my family and I truly believe in giving as much as we can to the community, in both time and money. I believe that we are put here to help those less fortunate than us and we consistently try to live our Faith, though I’m sure we fall short, as all of us do. My one goal in this life is to leave a mark on my family and the world by honoring Christ in all I do. If my greatest opportunity to do that is through the real estate industry, great. If He calls me elsewhere down the road, then that’s where you’ll find me. For now, I’m truly enjoying this ride I’m on. ~Kevin Crawford

For our multi-million dollar home sale, we could not be more happy with Kevin’s professionalism, diligent networking, and out of the box thinking.

J.Travis Capps

VP of Energy & Gases, Valero

We have proudly recommended Kevin to many friends, family and will continue to do so because of his honesty, integrity and commitment to his clients.

Tom & Nora Dobson, Whataburger

Having dealt with many realtors, Kevin is a breath of fresh air. He actually follows through and is pro active, not just putting your property on MLS and waiting for something to happen. He MAKES it happen.

Wally & Robin Dallenbach, NASCAR

If you don't call Kevin to sell your home, you've lost your mind. He's the best in the history of the world.

Kevin's Mom

Luxury Home Magazine Builder Profile

Ray Stadler Robert Dodd

“Don’t mention zip lines,” I teasingly warn a new client with a smile after chatting briefly on their Hill Country lot, “we’ll be here all day. I keep waiting for him to build the Swiss Family Robinson tree house one day. . .” Just then, Ray Stadler comes walking up to where we are standing on their lot, gazing over the Guadalupe with an excited sparkle in his eyes. “THAT is a spectacular view" he says animatedly, "we could do some pretty cool things with this lot for sure! Have you ever thought about a zip line…..”

With his athletic frame and boyish zest for life, it’s hard to imagine Ray Stadler has been building luxury custom homes for so many years in San Antonio, Boerne and surrounding area. For nearly two decades, Stadler Custom Homes has had the honor to build hundreds of new residences for many different families. Known for personally inspecting each of the homes that he builds from foundation, to roof and finish-out, Ray is a true craftsman. His homes are known to have superior levels of quality and workmanship, which has resulted in the company winning numerous awards in the Parade of Homes and other industry awards. Additionally, Ray is known by many for his involvement with the San Antonio Builders Association and his philanthropic

Stadler Custom Homes

by Talashia Jansen

work with The San Antonio Food Bank, St. Jude, The Battered Women’s Shelter and many other local charities. These are just a few of the reasons why his company has been catapulted into an industry leader position in the local custom home building market. Despite all of this, it is Ray’s down-to-earth, "regular" guy personality and his extreme attention to detail that makes him so popular to work with.

“Building is in my blood,” he’ll often say when thinking back on why he chose this profession. From a very early age Ray and his slightly younger brother and partner, Deron, were exposed to a large variety of projects. Their father was always working on something around the family home. This introduction was the catalyst that drove Ray to choose a major in Construction Management at Brigham Young University, where he met his wife Jana. An introduction was all that was needed for the two lovebirds, and later after they were married, they relocated to San Antonio, where Ray began building homes in Timberwood Park.

He purposefully built his business slowly over those early years, and likes to try and continue with that same philosophy to this day. Many years, and six

children later the average size and budget of his homes have grown since those early Timberwood days. However, he is dictated by neither size nor budget when working with clients. “I like to do what makes sense for them and for us. If people want to work with us, then we want to be able to work with them and they shouldn’t have to spend a ton of money to get a high quality home and have fun doing it.” Whether he is building a 12,000 square foot home for millions of dollars, or a 3000 square foot home for substantially less, each homeowner working with Stadler Custom Homes is immediately enveloped into the Stadler family and no less time is spent on one type of client over the other. “If they trust us with their home, they are getting all I can give.”

So, if you are out in San Antonio, Boerne or the Hill Country one day and you see a guy in khaki shorts and sneakers jumping around on roofs, or dangling off of the side of a bank of the Guadalupe to get a better ‘site-line’ view, you can be pretty certain that it’s probably Ray. Just a regular, easy to talk to guy with an amazing talent for building breath-taking, custom homes, with quality that will last long after others fade in the spotlight, and if you do ask him about zip lines, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Julie Nader The use of reclaimed building products lends authenticity to the architect's vision for this great room.
