Accessibility

As an advocate of Fair Housing for all, Kimberly Howell Properties aims to provide a website that is accessible to everyone, regardless of available technology or ability. We constantly fine tune our website to increase accessibility and usability for all. We strive to conform to the W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guideline, which are designed to make the internet more user friendly for all people.

While we strive to conform to those standards, it is not always possible to do so and some of the third party services we utilize do not conform to those standards. We will continue to push for the industry’s third party software providers to work towards those goals and hope that someday, it will become a more widely adopted practice (we strongly believe our industry is moving in the right direction and we will get there).

In the meantime, if you or anyone you know needs assistance in navigating our website or searching for homes for sale or for rent, please let us know. We can be reached via email at email hidden; JavaScript is required or by telephone at (210) 493-6888. We will gladly work with you to find the solution that best suits your needs.

Countdown 2018 – Top 10 Pages and Posts

December 30, 2018 by khproperties Leave a Comment

Every year at Kimberly Howell Properties, we take a look back through the activity on our website to see what you’ve been looking at on the site and see what’s been on your minds. We try our best to put out content that you will find interesting and relevant to your real estate needs (and we’re always open to suggestions from our readers!). This year has been a great year on our website and we’ve added lots of new content as well as some new features (our latest IDX powering some of our property searches will see a big expansion through 2019). It’s definitely a labor of love – it takes a lot of work to bring you content that isn’t canned, cookie cutter rehashes of the same old recycled content, but it’s something we take great pride in and based on the feedback and compliments we’ve received from you over the years, we know it’s something you have come to expect from us. We promise to continue working to bring you the best content possible.

Here are the Top 10 Pages and Posts from our website through 2018:

10. Closing on a Home While You’re Out of Town? No matter where you are there’s always a solution to getting you closed, no matter where you are.

9. Disclosing Death in Texas We hear this question a lot and we see it’s a very popular Google search as well.

8. Time is of the Essence: What Does it Mean? Tick, tock. The countdown is on – what does this important real estate phrase mean in contracts?

7. Our Agents We’re proud of our agents and we love that you look them up and learn about them before picking up the phone!

6. What If Your Property Survey is Incorrect? It does happen from time to time – so what do you do when it’s discovered?

5. The Option Period: Termination and Timelines Real estate contracts have several important timelines and the option period is one of the most crucial to buyers.

4. Writing Effective Repair Amendments Repair amendments are a critical piece of the contract and writing them well is a skill.

3. What’s a T-47 and Why Do I Need One? Apparently, a lot of people have questions about this form that is used in conjunction with the survey.

2. Search for Homes We’re all here to talk about homes, so it’s no surprise that our search feature is one of the most popular items on our site.

1. Why is My Rental Application Taking So Long? No one likes waiting and we get a lot of questions about the length of time it takes to process applications.

Regardless of your beliefs or personal traditions, we hope you have a wonderful time and get to spend some time with your families and friends.

It’s about the spirit of the season and we want you all to have a great day. Kimberly Howell Properties and its family of agent’s will do our best to relax and enjoy a little time off as our offices will be closed Christmas Eve (December 24) and Christmas Day (December 25).

Kimberly Howell Properties Training and Mentoring Our Agents

October 24, 2018 by khproperties Leave a Comment

As a brokerage, we at Kimberly Howell Properties are tasked with training and mentoring our agents to teach them the skills and share with them the experiences that will help guide them throughout their career. With real estate changing constantly, this requires us to keep learning and growing ourselves. We’re quite proud of the work our agents put into learning and staying up to date and our training and mentoring program is something we’re very proud of. One of the pillars of our training program is Dave Taylor. Dave is a licensed agent and serves as our trainer and mentor to all of the agents. Awarded Trainer of the Year by Platinum Top 50 San Antonio, Dave also conducted training in the military, so he’s a natural at it. Dave’s focus is teaching agents the “why” of real estate, not just the “how” of fill in the blank contract forms. Our agents learn the theoretics of real estate and are constantly challenged by Dave to learn more.

In addition to our regularly scheduled training classes each week, agents have access to members of staff that are also licensed. With phone, email, and text, staff are available to agents throughout the day and night.

Training is conducted weekly and offers a mix of classes built on real life cases and experiences of our agents to bringing in experts in related fields like title insurance, lending, builders, foundation experts, etc. This allows us not only to train and mentor based on our own real life experiences, but also use the experiences of the experts in other fields.

How does our training and mentoring benefit you?

If you’re an agent looking for a new brokerage, the answer is pretty obvious. We provide you with the skills to grow your business and build the confidence that is one of the most important tools in your real estate tool belt. Want to come see how we do things? Schedule a meeting with us and join one of our weekly meeting or training sessions to see how we do things. We’re proud of our program and our agents love it – it’s not easy and you will be challenging, but you will know more and be prepared for more situations than a lot of other agents out there.

As a homebuyer or seller, the training benefits you clearly too. Better agents means better experiences for you. Real estate is constantly evolving and just when you think you know it all, things change. Our agents also have access to a network of staff and experienced agents who are always there to help, even well after normal office hours (when so much of real estate happens). You’ll find that our agents are eager and willing to learn and have benefited from the focus on hands on training and mentoring that we provide.
