Relocation

Moving to North Texas from somewhere that isn't North Texas

People relocate here for Toyota, PepsiCo, Ericsson, Raytheon, JPMorgan, Capital One and the dozens of companies that followed them. The job is decided. The hard question is which of forty suburbs you should actually live in — and that is a question a website cannot answer for you.

Start with the commute, then the schools, then the house

In DFW the Dallas North Tollway and US 75 are two different lives. A twenty-minute difference on paper is an hour a day in practice. We work backward from your office, not forward from a listing.

School districts do not follow city lines here

This is the single thing out-of-state buyers get wrong. Seven districts serve McKinney. Three serve Little Elm. An Argyle mailing address may not be Argyle ISD. I verify attendance zones on every property before you get attached to it.

Tour virtually before you fly

I will walk properties on video, on your schedule, including the things listing photos hide — road noise, the neighbor's yard, what the drive to the highway is actually like.

Rent for a year if you are not sure

I will tell you this even though it delays my paycheck. If you do not know the area and your company is covering temporary housing, a year of renting in the right sub-market beats a thirty-year mortgage in the wrong one.

Or just send me a note

Goes straight to realtybyjennifer@gmail.com. I answer every one personally, usually same day. No drip campaign, no call center.

Next step

Still deciding whether to call?

Call anyway. Worst case you get fifteen minutes of straight answers from someone who has done this 115 times.
