In 2008 I got married, and in 2009, my husband and I were ready for the next big step. No, not kids yet - we wanted to purchase our first house! This is when I first met Bettina and Juan Sastoque. They were so patient with my 5,000 questions, and really cared about finding us a new home that we would be happy with. Seeing how passionate they are about what they do, I am honored to be a part of their team, and would love for you to get to know them as I have!
JJP: What do you love most about what you do?
Bettina Sastoque: The reason we love our job is two-fold. First, we love working as Realtors because it allows us to work together as a family and as a team towards one common goal. Second, we love the opportunity to be a part of one of the most important ventures in most peoples lives. For most of our friends, the most impactful time of their lives is getting married, having a baby and purchasing a family home. It's a great honor when someone allows us to be a part of that.
JJP: You were definitely an important part of a huge step for us as newlyweds looking for our first home. We feel so lucky to have had you there to lead us through it. What do you think sets you apart from other real estate agents?

BS: There are a lot of great real estate agents that we get to work with, but the thing that sets us apart is that we both work actively together in real estate. I think that there is really something special about a husband and wife team. In this business, you really need the support at home, so that you can support your clients as they go through their selling/buying experience. We are able to tag team and make sure that our clients are well taken care of. More importantly, outside of the two of us, we have a phenomenal support team, including lenders, title company, escrow officers, stager, photographer, and more that help us successfully take care of our clients... I guess, in answer to your question about what sets us apart from other great Realtors, we have each other and a great team to help our clients reach their house selling and purchasing goal.
JJP: How has having a real estate photographer on your team helped your listings?
BS: Oh my goodness! Changing to using you as our photographer has definitely increased the number of times someone looks at our properties online. Plus, we have more showings on our properties than the average property listed. The reason photography is so important is because over 90% of homes are previewed online. Buyers first input the criteria of the property they are looking for, typical criteria include price, location, and square footage. From there, they check out the picture(s) online to decide whether to view the property or not. I know, from working with buyers, that they will more likely look at a house with great photos than a house with yucky photos. Also, Realtors take more seriously properties that have 25 photos than properties that only have a few photos.
JJP: If you are in the Collin County area and looking to buy or sell a home, I highly encourage you to give them a call. I find the challenges of real estate photography to be incredibly fun and interesting. If you know any other motivated real estate agents or someone selling their home, I would love to hear from them.
