What Are You Looking At? Let’s Dig Into What Matters Most To You

October 9, 2018 by khproperties Leave a Comment

Digging In

We usually reserve our research into what matters to our visitors most for our end of the year “Top 10” posts, but we were tweaking some things and seeing how well they worked when and decided to look through the pages and posts that you spend the most time on. We like to analyze this information so that we can help bring you the best real estate website in San Antonio, full of information that you want and answers to the questions you have. Have something specific you’d like to see on our website? You can always contact us and let us know – we’re always looking for ways to improve! Let’s take a look at what matters to you most…

Search 
This is a real estate website, so it’s no surprise that people come here to look at homes. That’s what we’re all here for, right? We’ve recently added some new search features to our website and we’re busy testing and implementing them throughout the site. While our main map-based search (and its rental search counterpart) are easy to use and look great, we are experimenting with another search version that gives you a bit more control (more criteria that you can search for) and we like the search results pages a bit more. Want to take a look? Take our more detailed search for a spin.

McNair Custom Homes 
When we teamed up with McNair Custom Homes, we wanted to make a statement about our strong belief in their homes. For years, Kimberly Howell has been selling their homes and helping people plan and build new homes with them. As the listing agent for all of their properties, we stand by them in their commitment to building incredible homes. “Reputation is everything” has become the motto behind all that the two companies do and we love that our visitors are spending time getting to know them and their homes. Whether reading some of the blog posts about McNair Custom Homes or looking at homes built by McNair Custom Homes, we hope you get to know them better.

Rentals and Applications 
We see a lot of traffic to our posts about rentals, particularly about rental applications. The two most popular posts are “Why Is My Rental Application Taking So Long?” and “Why Does a Rental Application Require So Much Personal Info?” It’s clear that people get a little anxious once they’ve applied for a rental and the wait can be a bit frustrating.

Incorrect Surveys 
A blog post that generates a lot of interest, “What If Your Property Survey is Incorrect?,” has been an interesting one to watch in the comments section to see what kinds of problems people have faced with their surveys.

The Option Period: Termination and Timelines 
The Option Period in Texas real estate contracts gives the buyer a chance to terminate the contract for any reason during a specified period of time. This time period is typically used by buyers to do inspections and negotiate any repairs, but a lot of people, both buyers and sellers, have questions about how it works. This post, “The Option Period: Termination and Timelines,” helps explain the timelines and what happens when they are missed.

How to Search Homes for Sale Like a Pro

October 2, 2018 by khproperties Leave a Comment

Search Homes for Sale

Recently we upgraded the search capabilities on our website and we’ve been busy expanding the use of this new home search. The new search capabilities allow you to search for things in some new ways and gives you many of the same kinds of search capabilities we have at our fingertips in the MLS. One of the easiest features to use is the ability to pull up whole neighborhoods by name. Use the “Subdivision” box and start typing in the name of your favorite neighborhood and the system will suggest neighborhoods based on what you type. We hope you’ll enjoy the new features and we’d love to hear your feedback. Click the button below to start your search.

Introducing the All New Kimberly Howell Properties Website

December 11, 2015 by Matt Stigliano Leave a Comment

Welcome to kimberlyhowell.com!

I began with watching people do web design for hvac contractors. Four years ago, I was asked to build a site for Kimberly Howell Properties. Little did I know at the time, but I was about to join an amazing company. When I was initially approached to build the website, that was all I was going to do – a freelance job for a company I knew little about. Nearly four years later, I’m sitting in my very own office, having been hired to work full time at the company.

What started as simply building a website has turned into my daily obsession – how can I make things bigger and better and help the agents at Kimberly Howell Properties connect with buyers and sellers throughout the San Antonio area? This website, is the public facing piece of that puzzle. What you see in front of you is an intense three months of work, delving into the world of WordPress, fiddling and tinkering, and finding the best solutions to fulfill our web needs. In the background, there are a lot of other pieces to the puzzle, but this is the one people will see day in and day out. When setting up your website, visit the website of experts in web hosting.

I’m pretty proud of the way it turned out. A new focus on clean lines and simplicity to focus on the things that really matter to our clients and those looking for real estate answers in the San Antonio area. You’ll find the new site works great on your mobile phone and tablets and our homes for sale and rental searches still feature the same timely updates (we update every 15 minutes – usually even faster than that!) from the San Antonio MLS system, so you’ll always see the latest properties available. We’re also going to continue to focus on educating and assisting you as you navigate the early stages of the process, so that you can buy or sell your home with confidence. We hope you enjoy the new site and we look forward to working with you in the future!

All’s quiet on the blogging front.

April 9, 2013 by khproperties Leave a Comment

Silence

I missed a day of posting yesterday and looking back, I realized just how much content we’ve created over the past twelve months. What was once a broken site that had stopped working is now a living, breathing organism, one that often takes up more time than I realize. In my mind that’s a good thing. This website has generated a ton of traffic over the last year and that has translated into new clients, comments from old clients, and an overall sense of community among our readers and our agents. It’s really an exciting thing for me, The Rockceptionist, to have watched it grow and to have heard the compliments from many of you, particularly those who recognize the SEO efforts that go into creating and maintaining a site like this. Every day is filled with tinkering and tweaking and I promise not to stop until we are the de facto website for San Antonio real estate. Until then, I will continue blogging, catching up on real estate news, and encouraging our agents to blog here.

With all that being said, I have a simple question for you…what else do you want to see on the site?

CrimeReports.com – Crime Data In An Easy To Read Format

March 26, 2013 by khproperties Leave a Comment

CrimeReports.com - Crime Map

Crime data is highly sought after information.

Everyone wants to know what crime is like in any given area. As REALTORS®, we’re asked about crime all the time in any given neighborhood. Since we’re not a crime experts, we typically refer our clients to the City Of San Antonio Police Department Crime Data website and from there they can sort through the various data and statistics to figure out what they like or don’t like about a neighborhood.

Unfortunately, most police departments along with the criminal defense lawyers are too busy working on solving and stopping crime to be worried about clean user interfaces and aesthetics in their crime data (although San Antonio has made great strides in making the data more accessible). Enter CrimeReports.com. Using a familiar and simple interface, CrimeReports allows the user to enter the name of the city and bring up a Google Map with an overlay of crime data in that area. With easy to locate icons reporting various types of crime, users can quickly and easily see what’s happening in a given area.

The site also allows you to search through sex offender registries, combining both crime data and sex offender registration sites into one easy to access source.
