Relocation is our specialty, not a side service.

Tell me your hard date: the day you start work, the lease that's ending, the school year. From there we count backward. Building new from the ground up can take months, so if your clock is tight we lean toward move-in-ready homes or resale, which close faster. Knowing your real deadline up front keeps you from falling for a home that can't close in time.

I-35 runs north to south through the middle of the metro and backs up at rush hour, so a house that looks close can be a rough daily drive. If you're remote, we can open up areas that are quieter and cost less. Tell me where you'll actually report and the commute you can live with, and we build the search around that instead of guessing.

Texas has a few surprises for out-of-state buyers. There's no state income tax, which helps, but property taxes run higher and vary by district. Newer communities often sit in MUD or PID districts where year-two taxes can jump once everything is assessed. We set a true monthly number with taxes, insurance, and HOA included, so nothing sneaks up on you after you move in.

Central Texas is a patchwork. Downtown and South Austin are walkable and pricier. Kyle and Buda give you more house for the money down I-35. The Hill Country to the west trades commute for space and views, and the north suburbs sit near the big employers. I'll give you the real feel of each, the good and the trade-offs, matched to how you actually spend a week.

I can't rank schools for you, that crosses fair-housing lines and it's genuinely your call. What I can do is point you to the real sources, the Texas Education Agency and each district's own site, and line up neighborhoods so you can compare them yourself. I'll also share what families already living in a community say about the day-to-day.

Both can be right. New construction gives you predictability and builder incentives, but the contract is written to protect the builder and the upgrades add up fast. Resale can be quicker and sometimes a better value, with more room to negotiate. Because I've worked the builder side, I'll show you which path fits and exactly what to watch for either way.

I'll do live video walkthroughs and give you the honest read: the street noise, the finish quality, the thing the photos quietly hide. We shortlist together so that when you do come in person, you're choosing between real contenders instead of starting from scratch.

Instead of wandering open houses, I build a focused itinerary around your shortlist and the areas you're weighing, with time to feel the commute and the neighborhood at different points in the day. Most people leave a well-planned trip ready to make a confident offer.

Once you're under contract, I coordinate the inspection, the appraisal, the financing, and the builder or seller, keep the dates on track, and flag anything that needs your attention. You focus on the move, I'll handle the moving parts.
