Kuper Sotheby's International Realty
Real Estate has always been a passion for Christine Spencer of Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty. As a little girl, she was intrigued by property floor plans and sketches; as a young adult, I spent hours driving to new neighborhoods looking for open houses and model homes to preview.

She is a graduate of the University of Texas with a degree in Home Economics. This San Antonio native has moved 10 times with her husband and children, but has never left her hometown. Spencer believes that each property she has ever lived in, walked through, helped to purchase or sell has a unique character and charm of its own - much like the clients she is privileged to serve.
