Why should I live at Lakeside Villas?

 

Lakeside Villas is located in Oakwell Farms, which is the planned development of the sprawling Tobin Estate by Lloyd Denton.  It is inside Loop 410, which greatly reduces traffic congestion.  The adjoining area to Oakwell Farms has both a driving range and horse stables.  There are two roads that run directly to Ft. Sam Houston; one goes to BAMC, and the other to the base proper.  Travel time is reportedly under ten minutes.  Lakeside Villas was well built by premier San Antonio developer Israel Fogiel in the 1980’s with a unique flair.  The property has its own man made lake.  As part of the Oakwell Farms development, Lakeside Villas has access to jogging trails, rustic relaxed trees, and wooded areas.  This is an excellent choice for Ft. Sam, BAMC people and works for those going north towards Austin as well.  It is also no more than 15 minutes from downtown San Antonio via Austin Highway and Broadway. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You may call me at 210 473-0999 for help, advice, or information at anytime!!!  Or, if you prefer, you may email me at don@donsapartments.com, or both.

 

Please tell the on site leasing agent that you found the apartment through Don Reser or Dons Apartments.  You are entitled to choose your representative.  We also need to be listed on your lease application when you decide on your new home.  The standard lease application in use (after many informational questions) asks how you found the apartment.  Specifically the form block is entitled “Why You Rented Here.”  The application lists a number of alternatives.  You only have to write Don Reser in the first two blanks on the application.  You do not need or have to answer any other questions in that block of the application.  This will not effect your application in anyway.  If you are having trouble with the application or any other aspect of the leasing process, just call or email for help (210 473-0999 or don@donsapartments.com).

Lakeside Villas is built on a historical Texas Home site which included a scenic lookout tower.  At the time in Texas history it was built, it was built as a lookout for Indians rather than scenery.

More Help?

 

Okay, I hope this information helps you with your choice of a place to live in San Antonio.  I am a Realtor and if you decide to lease at Lakeside Villas, I would appreciate your listing me, Don Reser, as your referring source on the lease application.   Here is my blurb about how I am paid for helping you:

 

Listing me as the referring source is how I am paid for our services. My services are free to you - I receive a referral fee if you are directed to AND lease a property that I referred you to. I need your assistance however...please write my name on any guest cards you complete as the person who referred you to the property. Also if you do lease REMIND your leasing agent to write my name AGAIN in the space provided on your lease application form.

 

This in NO WAY affects the amount of your rent or your deposit. This is possible because my fee is paid by the apartment communities advertising/marketing budget. When you do lease, please send me an email or phone me directly to let me know where you have leased and your apartment number so that I may follow up with your leasing office.

 

I thank you, my daughters thank you, my dog thanks you, my ex wife thanks you and my girlfriend, too.

 

If you are still not decided then read the following self serving advertisement for my services.

 

I recently received this email unsolicited email from a customer:

 

“HELLO HOW ARE YOU? I HOPE ALL IS WELL FOR YOU, AS FOR ME I AM JUST GOING TO SCHOOL, ITS A PRETTY TOUGH COURSE. SO I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY APARMENT. I  WOULD HAVE BEEN SO LOST WITHOUT YOUR HELP. ONCE MORE THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING.”  - Asucena

 

If Lakeside Villas is not the apartment for you, then please consider telling me more about what you want and need. My name is Don Reser and I have been involved with real estate since 1984.  I consider myself the very best locator in San Antonio and I CAN HELP YOU, but I need you to HELP ME. Unless you are willing to allow me to help you by giving me the time to show you personally at least three apartments, it is really going to be hard.  You are welcome to look around on your own, but generally it is inefficient and you will become tired and confused.  (There are 700 commercial properties in San Antonio.)  I will send you an email list of properties with directions to help you look on your own, and you are welcome to use my help this way.  We have two databases to look at properties.

 

My experience is that it takes about 4 hours of viewing with an experienced locator at a minimum to find the right place.  If you invest 8 hours with me, I will be able to show you at least two places you would want to rent at for your price.  Okay so spend all the time you want on your own and then when you really want to get the job done, call me.

 

Because of the internet I know that many of you are moving from out of town and are very anxious about finding a place to live.  I can assure you we can get it done in one day.  We need to make an appointment for the day you are in town.  If you have to know ahead of time, you will need to fly in and I will assist you in evaluating all your leasing options in one day.

 

Finding a new apartment ranks up there with going to the dentist for no fun, but I can contribute my extensive knowledge of the city and the experiences of the other customers to help you.

 

Okay, please call me anytime at 210 473-0999 to reserve a day, or morning, or afternoon for this process or to discuss your situation.
