celebrating success

     It is with much pride that Becker Properties announces that all the hard work of our very own Ryan Gonzales has paid off & he has received his broker’s license.  This is not an achievement to be taken lightly as it requires a great amount of time & determination.  After earning his bachelor’s degree in business management from Texas A&M University at San Antonio, Ryan decided to pursue the field of real estate.  Since joining Becker Properties in 2013 he graduated Becker Properties Broker Academy in 2015 & was named 2016 Salesperson of the year.  Ryan firmly believes knowledge is power, so in addition to continually pursuing opportunities to further his education in real estate he also strives to make sure his clients are educated on the home buying and selling process. Becoming a recent homeowner himself has led him to go the extra mile and partner with trusted & knowledgeable lenders, insurance brokers & other industry professionals to educate his clients on all the ins and outs of real estate transactions from the moment they start to consider buying or selling a home.  His passion for people is apparent in every transaction in which he plays a role.  Not only does Ryan care deeply for his clients but for his community as a whole.  He is actively involved in the Slangin’ Foundation & its numerous service projects across the city.  Whether it’s a fundraiser or painting cabinets at a home in need of repair, you can find Ryan in the middle of the action.  The future is bright for Ryan, as he will hang his brokers license at the new, second location of Becker Properties.  There he will train up the next generation of real estate agents helping them to develop their passion & pursue their success in this ever growing, ever changing industry.

 
Congratulations to you, Ryan Gonzales, BROKER!  We are thrilled to celebrate you & your achievement!  We are excited to be a part of your continued growth, development, & success.  Most importantly, we are honored to call you a member of the BP family!

Hip Happenings: Cinco de Mayo

by

 

Cinco de mayo-2

Cinco de Mayo is tomorrow! Do you have plans to celebrate or go out with friends and family?

If you are unfamiliar with the holiday, you may ask yourself what are we celebrating on May 5th? Some people think Cinco de Mayo is Mexico’s Independence Day but this is inaccurate. Cinco de Mayo is actually the day to commemorate the underdog Mexican Army’s victory over the invading French forces led by Napoleon III, at the Battle of Puebla, in Mexico on May 5, 1862.  The Mexican Army had a fraction of the amount of soldiers that the French Army did and the unexpected victory, with relatively few Mexican casualties, really boosted the Mexican morale. This surprising defeat of a very powerful nation called for celebration then and the holiday continues to be celebrated today.

San Antonio is rich in Mexican culture and we can all appreciation great food, great fun and a reason to celebrate with one another. The downtown Market Square area is a great hotspot for Cinco de Mayo festivities. We encourage all of our friends and family to have a great time this upcoming weekend as the warmer weather heats up the city and we at Becker Properties remind you to party responsibly!

Happy Cinco de Mayo to all!

The downtown area is a great place to live, work and party year round! Click the link below to see what available in downtown SA!

Community Matters: BP at NEISD Career Night

by

community matters-4

On Tuesday, April 25, the North East Independent School District hosted their annual career expo for high school and middle students at Blossom Athletic Center. Hundreds of students, parents and businesses were represented at this community wide event. Becker Properties agents Ana Sanchez, Laura Lizcano, Melissa Wertz, Vanessa Jamie, and Ariel Calderon were in attendance. These BP ladies had the opportunity and honor of explaining the ins and outs of a real estate career to young inquiring minds. Discussions included topics such as schooling and credit requirements, licensing fees, continuing education and more. Students were encouraged that successful REALTORS® are self-starters and self-motivated; REALTORS® get to have fun and be creative with marketing, they have the flexibility to make their own schedule, and the privilege of helping people make the dream of homeownership a reality.

Becker Properties agents hope to continue to inspire the youth of San Antonio and the surrounding areas to pursue education and vocational passions. Becker Properties offered free head-shots for students to help them begin building their professional resumes. The event was a lot of fun for all parties and BP plans to continue to support this event and similar events in the future.

Tammy is a REALTOR with Becker Properties but is also on Staff with BP as the Market Center Manager.  Tammy calls Texas home. She moved to San Antonio with her family at age five and has lived here ever since. Tammy graduated from Clark High School and attended Texas A&M University.

Tammy is quiet, reserved and a bit shy, but such a joy to be around and light in the office. Tammy values her family greatly and when she’s not slangin’ real estate or traveling to New York, her second home, she can be found entertaining her nieces and enjoying the company of close friends and family.
