Meet the Team
Our team of real estate investment strategists has more than twenty years of combined experience in building relationships with each and every one of our clients. We know San Antonio and the surrounding area, including all those little undiscovered gems, because it’s our home, too. You’re sure to find your dream home when you work with us. And when it’s time to sell, whether you’re moving up or moving out of state, we know how to market your home so that you’ll always receive the best possible offers.
For our investors, we focus on education, so you gain a deep understanding of our five-step proven real estate investment process. Together, we’ll search for the perfect properties, assess the cash flow and return on investment, and negotiate the purchase for the perfect property. You won’t be out of the loop at any point in the process. In fact, our in-house construction team is also at your disposal to ensure you get the best repairs and updates before you sell or rent your new San Antonio investment.
You can trust us, too; we have an extensive portfolio of our own investments. Rest assured that we don’t just talk—we walk the walk, too.
Meet Meghan
As a real estate investor since 2011 and an experienced San Antonio real estate agent, Meghan Castro is uniquely positioned to provide outstanding investment support, as well as traditional real estate services, to investors and families in the San Antonio, TX area. She has years of experience helping families find their perfect homes, seeking out properties with those special details that really make moving exciting and special.
As an investor, her areas of specialty include real estate flips, wholesaling, house hacking, live-in-then-rent, hard-money lending, short-term and long-term financing buys, and many more. However you prefer to invest—or whatever your specific circumstances require, Meghan has the experience you need to start or build your real estate investing portfolio.
Relationships are key to Meghan—and not just those she builds with her clients. Through the relationships she’s developed with title offices, closing companies, traditional and private money lenders, and property management companies, Meghan is able to help negotiate the best possible prices, closing dates, and management contracts for her clients. Investors aren’t the only ones who benefit from these relationships, either. Buyers and sellers can enjoy stress-free moves that help you net or save money in the process.
In addition to relationships, Meghan believes knowledge is crucial. That’s why she works so hard to keep her investors, buyers, and sellers informed throughout the process and provides educational material to continue the learning experience in between transactions. That additional training, plus analytical data of cash flow and return on investment, provides her clients with the confidence they need to reach goals they didn’t believe possible.
Meghan and Stephen have three young children. When she gets downtime, she loves to spend quality time with her family on outdoor adventures or traveling to see the world. In her own time, she also loves to maintain her healthy lifestyle with as much exercise as she can.
When you’re ready to buy, sell, or begin building your San Antonio real estate portfolio, let Meghan show you why she should be your trusted resource.
Meet Stephen
Not only has Stephen been investing in real estate since 2011, but he also started a general contracting company to ease the pain of real estate investment projects that go over deadline and over budget. This combination of skills and experience makes him the perfect partner in the San Antonio real estate investment dream team that is Castro Realty Group.
With Stephen’s ability to manage construction projects, real estate fix-and-flip projects and long-term remodels are viable options for real estate investors. Without the constant worry of missing deadlines or going well over the budget, you can rest assured you’ll get the biggest possible return on your investment.
It’s that dedication to creative problem solving that sets Stephen and Castro Realty Group apart from other investment firms and real estate teams. Instead of “dead leads,” Stephen works to pick the problem apart and develop solutions that make money for his clients. When no properties appear to be available for purchase, Stephen will knock on doors until he finds one. When financing requires a bit of creativity, Stephen will reach out to his extensive network of contacts to get the job done. He keeps investors informed of the progress every step of the way and even provides additional education so you never feel out of the loop.
It’s this dedication to building relationships—with clients, vendors, workers, property management groups, and lenders—that has helped Stephen build not only a massive real estate portfolio of his own, but also powerful portfolios for both local and out-of-state investment clients.
Stephen gives back to San Antonio in another way, too; he’s been a firefighter for the city since 2010. When he does get time to relax, he wants to spend as much of it with his family as he can, unless he’s fishing or learning to play a new instrument.
Reach out today to see how Stephen and Castro Realty Group can help you start your San Antonio real estate investing journey.
