Hello! My name's Sandra Thomson, and I'm a full-time Realtor with Rubiola REALTORS serving San Antonio and surrounding areas. I've been licensed as a Realtor since 2007 in Texas. Certified as a New Home Specialist in 2009, I am able to protect New Home Buyer's interests from showing to closing on inventory or custom home builders. As a member of the SABOR Builder's Committee I work with Builders throughout San Antonio identifying their inventory and building features - but make no mistake - I represent Buyers, not Builders.

One of the reasons I chose Rubiola was not only their commitment to success, or the advanced training, and strategy sessions, but the strength of Rubiola Brand. This is a tremendous support for my Home Marketing Sales and Global Outreach. I have such a Marketing Reach throughout the country and beyond with Rubiola. We are in our third generation as a family-owned Real Estate business in San Antonio. I couldn't be more proud to align myself with such a successful Rubiola group in San Antonio.

I currently work for NEISD as a part-time non-tenured Teacher. I have worked on several City of San Antonio Boards and Committees. My favorite was the Mayor's Commission on the Status of Women. I love San Antonio - there is no city quite like ours, Ya'll!

- Buyer's do not pay my commission - Seller's do - but Texas protects you by providing someone that can safeguard your fiduciary interests if you so choose. I hope you will allow me, Sandra Thomson, to help you in your home-buying process. Having a Realtor protects you and lets you enjoy buying a home without disrupting your life.
