The Schrader Group

What The Schrader Group does

The Schrader Group is a privately-held residential real estate brokerage team headquartered at 300 East Sonterra Blvd #310 in San Antonio, Texas, founded in 1982 by Dayton Schrader. The firm operates as a high-producing team within the eXp Realty cloud brokerage platform and employs more than 20 professionals across sales, marketing, business development, and operations, including dedicated photographers and drone pilots, a marketing director, a social media coordinator, and two business development specialists managing builder relationships. Its service portfolio spans buyer and seller representation, new construction, commercial property transactions, and dedicated relocation services for corporate, military, and personal relocations. Revenue is generated almost exclusively through traditional real estate commissions on closed transactions, with no publicly disclosed commission rates; the firm supplements its core brokerage with a suite of differentiated buyer programs (Move-Up, Guaranteed Sale, Lease Buy Out, and Buyer Assistance), free comparative market analysis, mortgage calculation tools, and an IDX-powered online property search. The firm operates on a "Work By Referral Only" model adopted in 1995 and reports that nearly 100% of its business originates from referrals and repeat clients, supported by a multi-channel marketing engine across organic social, blog content, video, email newsletters, professional staging, photography, drone imaging, community outreach, and SEO. Builder partnerships — including Scott Felder Homes — provide an additional channel for new-construction buyer representation, and the team's service area extends across the San Antonio metro and surrounding Texas communities including New Braunfels, Cibolo, Schertz, Castroville, Bulverde, Canyon Lake, Seguin, Pleasanton, Alamo Heights, The Dominion, Stone Oak, and the Texas Hill Country.
