Roman Svyatetskiy — By God's Strength.

"For years I watched the same thing play out on every deal: the Realtor and the lender working from two different playbooks, and the client caught in the middle trying to translate between them. So I got licensed on both sides. When you work with me, you're not being handed off — you're getting one person who's writing the contract, structuring the loan, and thinking three steps ahead the entire way. That's how deals actually close on time."

The path here

My path into real estate started in a pretty miraculous way. I don't have family in the business, no friends who pulled me in, and it definitely wasn't Instagram or a TV show that pushed me to take the leap. The calling came from above.

I spent six years driving a commercial car carrier, praying every day for a new opportunity — something that would let me spend more time around the people I love: my family and my local church. One day in prayer, the answer became crystal clear. I needed to transition into real estate. It was a divine appointment. I started studying, and I passed my exam on the first try.

The business took off. The foundation was laid in one of the hottest markets Texas had ever seen. I was working with investors building spec homes, families relocating from the West Coast, and buyers building generational wealth through rental property. Night after night, I was writing offers at 2 A.M. to make sure my client's contract was first in line when the sun came up.

And then, over and over, I'd get the call from the lender: the loan can't close. That frustration is what pointed me to the next step. There had to be a better way. So I got my Mortgage Loan Originator license (NMLS #277737), and I made sure that from that point forward, every client got served, every option got explored, and every deal that could get done — got done.

What I actually do

• List & sell homes across San Antonio, Boerne, Stone Oak, Shavano Park, Terrell Hills, Helotes, Schertz, and Bulverde. Full-service brokerage under JPAR® San Antonio.
• Help buyers at every stage — from first-time homeowners taking the leap, to experienced investors positioning themselves to capture maximum equity for the future. Every strategy is built around where you are today and where you want to be in 10 years.
• Structure the financing myself — conventional, FHA, VA, DSCR, bank-statement, construction, and cash-out refinance — through Nexa Lending. I write the contract with the loan already stress-tested, so nothing falls apart at underwriting.
• Advise investors on Central Texas short- and mid-term rental strategy (I own and operate my own portfolio through Southern Comfort Housing, so this isn't theory — it's what I do with my own money).
• Represent commercial buyers and sellers across Central Texas — retail, office, mixed-use, and small multifamily.
• Speak your language — I'm fluent in English, Russian, and Ukrainian, with conversational Spanish. It's a bonus for clients who prefer to talk business in their native tongue, not a limit on who I serve.

How I work

When you hire me, you get me. Not an assistant who'll "loop me in later," not a team member you've never met — me. That's a deliberate choice. I only take on a handful of files at a time so every client gets the attention their deal deserves.

Here's what that actually looks like: I'll send you a weekly plan in writing so you always know what's next and what's on me. If you're selling, I'll build an appraisal-defense package before we ever hit the market so nothing surprises us mid-contract. If you're buying, I'll walk you through what the option period is actually for — not just what the contract says.

The reason nearly 90% of my business comes from repeat clients and referrals is simple: when we close, people go home and tell their family, their neighbors, and their coworkers. That's not a marketing plan I built. It's what happens when you take care of people the right way.

Outside real estate

Faith, family, and the Hill Country. I serve as a local youth pastor at my church, and I oversee an international project in Panama where we've built a discipleship center on remote indigenous islands. Closer to home, I help with drug and alcohol counseling and coach my kids' youth soccer team. When I'm not with clients, family, or ministry, you can usually find me somewhere between Boerne and Canyon Lake on the weekend.

By God's strength

Everything I have — this business, my family, the ability to serve people well — I owe to God's strength, not my own. My faith in Christ isn't something I keep separate from the way I work; it's the foundation the whole thing is built on. It's why I show up with integrity when nobody is watching, why I tell the truth even when it costs me a deal, and why I treat every client like their outcome matters as much as mine does. I won't push my faith on you — but if it matters to you too, you're in good company here.

First-time buyers — my heart's work

There's nothing like walking a family through their first home purchase. That's why I built a free online Homebuyer Class + Consultation — one session, real answers, no pitch. Book the free class whether you're six months out or ready to shop this weekend.
