The Hesles Agency Resource List

" Amazing realtor and person! We needed to sell our home, and Mario helped us sell it for full asking price on the first day of showing it! You can't ask for better than that. Although our home was relatively inexpensive and an older home, he treated us the same as his clients with much nicer and more expensive houses. When we move back to SA we will give Mario a call first thing. We had a flawless experience with him and his team. He's a true professional! "

We truly felt he was on our side, getting us the best deal when buying and selling. We had an unfortunate experience with the buyers Lender and appraisal team for the home we sold, but Mario was ready and "up to bat" for us through it all. Whenever we had any sort of question, no matter how small, he was willing to answer to the best of his ability, which is vast. We plan on staying in our new home forever, but in the military that's not always possible. If we have to sell, hopefully not, we will definitely call Mario Hesles! "

" My husband and I were looking for our first home...we had never purchased before. I found Mario online and gave him a call and from the first conversation he was incredibly informative. He knew the market, the San Antonio area and immediately gave us advice on how to proceed. Not only did he spend his weekends helping us view houses, but he did so with patience and knowledge of the area he was showing. His demeanor & professionalism are top notch! When we found the house we wanted, he acted instantly. He negotiated a really great deal for us!! We already had a lender selected, but that lender was saying some things that Mario advised didn't sound truthful. So, he referred us to a lender he knew. That lender gave us a much lower interest rate than the one we previously had! His service didn't stop there...he also referred an Inspector. Best Inspector EVER! As if that weren't enough, his Homeowner Insurance referral also came in with the best coverage and lowest rate. Mario's advice and referrals just blew everyone else out of the water. He explained every step of the process and what we could expect to happen next so that nothing was a surprise. I am forever grateful for Mario and look forward to ONLY using him in the future! "

Doesn't pressure sale what so ever, only ensure your real estate needs are met. "

- Christopher

" Rafael was so very helpful to my father when he needed to sale his property. Every step of the way - he answered every question and took extra time to make sure we understood what all the terms and "lingo" was. Rafael worked hard and found a buyer for the property and everything was said and done in a little under a month. We couldn't have asked for a better real estate agent who did everything he could to make sure we were well represented and all of our questions and needs were taken care of. I will definitely recommend to everyone that needs to buy or sale property - Rafael is the way to go. "

" I needed to put my house on the market and get it sold fast. Rafael was the man for the job. He convinced me that I should trust his judgement on the sale price for my home. He does his research and knows the market in which he trying to negotiate. I believe hiring a professional photographer to shoot my home made my listing stand out. My home went on the MLS on Friday afternoon. I immediately booked 6-8 showings for he next two days. Two offers came in on Monday, one for more than asking. After the contracts were signed, I had to get out fast to another job out of state. Rafael was great about working with the buyer's realtor to get inspections/appraisals and repairs done while I was away. "

" Mr Hesles was referred to us and described as the most competent realtor in the city. He is patient, very pragmatic, and he has a genuine understanding of the high-end real estate market. His familiarity with the San Antonio area, and his market insight (especially during these tumultuous times) made us very grateful we selected him as our real estate agent. "

- Donald

" My husband and I are from overseas and had fallen in love with San Antonio on a prior visit. My husband found Mario's website and was impressed by it We hired Mario on the spot without hesitation. The experience was fantastic. Mario treated us like someone we had known for years without forcing us into any decision. Most importantly, he listened to our wishes and even when we had concerns, he was NEVER once negative. We did not feel pressured that we were not as decisive as we should be. We did find our perfect home in about two weeks and closed the purchase three weeks later. We have since returned home and are preparing to move. Mario continues to assist us in getting setup since we are still unfamiliar with the area. Great agent, most importantly great person. We highly recommend Mario. "

- Genieve

" I have been fortunate to obtain support and help from Mr. Mario Hesles to act as my realtor on a very recent transaction in 2018. This was the second time I have used the services offered by Mr. Hesles, the first being in 2012. On both occasions, I have found Mario to be most forthcoming, honest, and hardworking in attempts to meet each of our needs and fancies in purchasing homes. While my earlier memory of 2012 left behind a great and memorable experience which allowed me to renew my request for help, my recent interaction is more fresh and is something that I can definitely write about more precisely. The search for a home was very simple both times. Mario created a list of needs and asks that my family wished for in the home desired. This list afforded Mario and his team an opportunity to provide details of available properties that met criteria. Using e-mail, web based information, text messages, and personal calls, Mario kept us abreast of all details. Mario personally showed us all the homes that we desired, on multiple days that fit our schedule, always prompt, courteous, and kind to embrace additional thoughts, or to understand the reasons why we did not settle on a certain property even though it was well within the criteria. Upon selection of the home that was of interest, Mario pursued the agency and sellers to ensure that we would be offered the best deal over other bidders. He enabled all aspects of the sale/purchase. Using web based signature services and prompt emails backed by text messages and e-mail simultaneously, Mario ensured that the entire purchase process was smooth and efficient, being completed timely. While moving between properties and during interaction with various personnel at title companies and other interactions, I found Mario to have many contacts, well recognized and respected by his peer. His demeanor is extremely polished and provides a solid foundation for candid business. Our entire transaction was smooth and uneventful with no surprises or glitches. I have every confidence that Mr. Hesles provides all his clients with the same immaculate service that my family has received. I wish the Mario Hesles team the best in all their business. "

- Esther & Rudy

" Rafael Mazza helped me to buy a home in the Bee Cave, Texas area. I contacted Rafael via a mutual friend, and from first contact, Rafael was very responsive. He provided information about the buying process and helped me along the whole process to ensure a smooth closing. He was very efficient and effective, and responded to emails within minutes. He is one of the best agents I had ever dealt with (and I had dealt with many). I can recommend Rafael as a real estate agent without any hesitation. "
