Robert LeBorne ยท San Antonio Real Estate Broker
Thirty years in.
He still reads
the loan file himself.
Most agents forward the lender’s email and wait. Robert holds a broker’s license, a mortgage originator credential and an insurance license, so when a closing stalls he can tell you what actually has to happen next.
Meet Robert
He taught school before he sold houses, and it shows
Robert spent years as an Air Force meteorologist, then earned a Master of Education and taught AP Economics. Both jobs were about reading the data and then explaining it to someone who needed to act on it.
Thirty years later that is still the method. Bank REOs, HUD and VA foreclosures, short sales and seller carry-backs, explained step by step to buyers and investors who would rather understand the deal than be walked through it.

Buying and selling with Robert
Financing first, then houses
Because Robert holds the originator credential, the pre-approval conversation happens with him. You will know your real budget before you fall for something you cannot buy.
Buyer’s guide
Priced by a person, not an algorithm
Comparable sales, read by someone who has walked the neighborhoods for thirty years. Then negotiation handled by the broker of record rather than passed down.
Seller’s guide
Before it reaches the MLS
The files nobody else wants to read
Foreclosures and bank-owned inventory do not arrive as a clean listing. They arrive as a phone call, a deadline and a stack of paper. Robert has worked that inventory since the 1990s.

- HUD and VA foreclosures

Thinking of selling
A number in seconds, then a real one
Put in your address and the estimator returns a figure drawn from recent sales nearby. It is free, and it is a starting point, not a valuation.
When you are ready to price it properly, Robert walks the house with you and builds the analysis from what he sees inside, not from what the county file says.

Questions
Before you call
Do you only work in San Antonio?
San Antonio is the home market. Boerne, Austin and Houston are worked regularly, and relocation clients arrive from California and Florida, where Robert also holds a license and can handle the sale at the other end.
Can you help me buy a foreclosure, or a HUD or VA home?
Yes. It has been the specialty for three decades. Each type has its own bidding rules and timelines, and Robert walks clients through them before an offer goes in.
How do you help first-time buyers?
Financing first, so you know your real budget. Because Robert holds the mortgage originator credential, that conversation happens with him rather than being handed off.
Do you work with investors?
Yes. Distressed and wholesale property is the core of the investor practice, with curated deals, underwriting support and a clear read on value after repairs.
What does a broker of record actually do?
They are the licensee legally responsible for the transactions under their license. Most agents work under someone else’s. Robert holds his own, so the person advising you is the person accountable.
Why does a real estate broker hold an insurance license?
Buying a house is usually the moment someone’s financial picture changes. Robert can talk through protection and long-term planning as part of the same conversation instead of handing you to a stranger.
No pressure either way
Tell Robert what
you are planning
Whether that is this month or next year. He will tell you what it takes and what it costs, and you can decide from there.
