Hill Country Homesteads

Texas Hill Country, just north of San Antonio, is the most wonderful place to live in all of Texas.

Hi, I’m Bill Ross

Raised in Northern New Jersey just outside of Manhattan and educated at Northeastern University in Boston with a Bachelor's in Marketing, I embarked on a high-tech sales and marketing career. In 1990, I moved to Silicon Valley, California, where I worked in startups and with multinational companies, selling complex software consulting services.

By 2021, challenges in California like high living costs, crime, and political issues led me to relocate to Texas Hill Country. Since moving here I shifted my career to real estate, where I’m applying my 40 years in sales and marketing towards helping others buy and sell their homes.

My new mantra is, “I’ve been a Texan all of my life, it just took 63 years for me to get here.”

Why choose me

Of the more than 13,000 San Antonio Metropolitan area licensed real estate agents, I am the only one that can provide a very unique and valuable service for home sellers that list their homes with me. I am directly connected to over 1000 California real estate agents in 172 California cities. Sellers that list their homes with me will have their homes professionally and creatively presented to all of these agents. Since 2018, over half a million Californians, many purchasing with cash, have moved to Texas and bought homes.

These California agents know who are selling their homes and moving to Texas. They also know those that are priced out of the California market and looking to move to Texas to raise their families. I offer much more than just standard MLS listings and open houses. I provide exclusive access to my extensive network of California real estate agents, a unique service that gives your home exposure to highly motivated buyers that are less concerned about mortgage rates. Nobody else can credibly claim they can do this.

If you are…

  • ... a first-time home buyer

    How I can help

    My goal is to help people move from renting to owning homes, which can greatly boost their long-term wealth and financial independence. Homeownership offers several financial benefits:

    Equity Building: Mortgage payments build equity in your home, unlike rent which offers no financial return. This equity is a valuable asset and acts like forced savings, increasing with each mortgage payment as the loan's principal decreases.

    Appreciation in Value: Homes typically rise in value over time, enhancing the homeowner's net worth. When sold, this appreciation can yield a substantial return, a benefit not available to renters.

    Tax Advantages: Homeowners can deduct mortgage interest from their income taxes, leading to notable savings. This makes owning often more cost-effective than renting, which offers no tax benefits.

  • …moving from out of state

    How I can help

    In recent years, Texas has witnessed a significant influx of new residents, driven by factors such as political climate, cultural vibrancy, lower crime rates, affordable living, and an overall better quality of life.

    My family and I are part of this substantial migration, drawn by the promise of a more fulfilling life. My journey equips me with both empathy and firsthand experience, valuable assets in my role as a trusted advisor. To those considering a move to Texas, I extend a knowledgeable and supportive hand.

    As a Realtor, I am uniquely positioned to help my “moving from out of state” clients discover the ideal community and home that aligns with their aspirations, lifestyles and needs.

  • …selling your home

    How I can help

    Are you planning to sell your home? Have your home stand out in the market with my unparalleled service, a notch above the other 15,000 real estate agents in the area. With the recent relocation of over half a million people from California to Texas, there's a surge in demand for homes from individuals seeking a fresh start, improved lifestyle, and lower cost of living.

    I maintain direct ties with almost 700 real estate agents across California, from the north to the south. These agents have insights into Californians moving to Texas, many of whom, due to substantial home equity, are ready to make cash offers on properties like yours.

    My approach includes a specialized presentation of your home to these agents, greatly enhancing the likelihood of attracting a cash buyer. Cash sales are not only swifter but also minimize many of the uncertainties associated with selling a property. Get in touch to find out if your home qualifies for this exclusive opportunity.
