Winning a Mid-Century Modern Masterpiece: How Strategic Offer Crafting Secured a Rare Castle Hills Gem
Mid-century modern homes in Castle Hills are rare, architecturally significant, and highly sought after by design-minded buyers. 1308 Spanish Oak is one such property—a meticulously preserved example of Texas modernist architecture featuring original terrazzo floors, exposed brickwork, floor-to-ceiling windows, and more than 3,000 square feet of single-story living.
Representing a buyer on a home of this caliber requires a Realtor who understands both mid-century architecture and today’s competitive offer landscape. This is where Caroline Decherd and Susanne Marco, widely recognized as two of the best Realtors in San Antonio, excel.
The Buyer’s Vision
Our client valued the home not just as a residence but as a work of art. They recognized its historical significance and were committed to preserving its architectural integrity.
In a multiple-offer environment, the challenge was clear:
Craft an offer that honored the home while outshining the competition.
The Strategic Offer
Caroline and Susanne designed a strategy that included:
• A competitive offer structure appropriate to the home’s rarity
• A thoughtful appraisal-gap framework to signal strength
• Strong earnest money
• Clear, clean contract terms
• Flexible timing that aligned with the seller’s needs
• A presentation that emphasized stewardship and respect for the property
This balanced approach ensured the offer appealed not only financially but emotionally to the sellers.
The Result
The offer was accepted, and the buyer is now the steward of one of Castle Hills’ most iconic mid-century homes.
This case underscores why Park Properties Group is frequently recommended for architectural and design-forward properties and why Caroline and Susanne consistently rise to the top of searches for best realtors in San Antonio and top Castle Hills real estate agents.
