Gary's Pool and Patio

Today I’m talking again with John Hudson with H&M Mortgage, and we’re diving deeper into secured loans for swimming pools.

If you’ve been thinking about adding a pool to your backyard, financing is often one of the biggest questions.
And when it comes to secured loans, the process can feel a lot like a mortgage.

We’re talking through what lenders are really looking for, including:
✅ Credit score
✅ Debt-to-income ratio
✅ Income documentation
✅ Required documents
✅ What can help make the process smoother

A swimming pool is a big investment, and understanding your financing options upfront can make a huge difference.

Whether you’re just starting to dream about a pool or you’re ready to get serious, this conversation is definitely worth watching.

Because yes… your backyard paradise may be closer than you think!

✨ We absolutely loved hosting the Women's Council of Realtors San Antonio Quarterly Member Orientation this morning at Gary's Pool and Patio‼️

There is no denying that real estate is a relationship-based business. But people may not always think of the pool industry that way.

The truth is… it absolutely is.

Relationships matter. Connection matters. Community matters.

Creating opportunities to connect, collaborate, and be involved in the community is something we truly love doing. It not only helps us grow our business, but it gives us the opportunity to serve more, build stronger relationships, and grow together.

We had such a great group this morning with lots of energy, meaningful conversations, and yes, of course… a little fun too!

Thank you to Women’s Council of REALTORS® San Antonio for allowing us to host. We are proud to be a Strategic Partner and grateful for the opportunity to be part of such a strong, connected real estate organization.

Another Backyard Transformation is officially underway! 🪾We got the trees out of the way pretty easily… because they weren’t rooted very deep - which often means there is rock! ⬇️🪨And, yep, about 3-4 feet down, we found it‼️
👉All in a days work - Let’s Go‼️

🩵👉 This morning we are out in far north San Antonio getting ready to start excavation for a 16 x 35 Olympia - after a quick meeting with the homeowner we’ve decided to move the pool location by about 3 feet…
Man, this yard is screaming for a pool - Let’s make it happen‼️

Who wants to worry about packing suitcases & travel headaches when you can relax and have fun every day right in your own backyard⁉️
