Moving to the Austin area?
Moving to a new town can push someone to their mental limits, without adding the daunting task of finding a place to live in addition to finding a Realtor you can trust. At
John Horton Realty, I understand this, and I am an expert in relocation. I have a long history of finding buyers the right home by going through a very specific checklist to help you efficiently narrow your options.
When relocating, you often don't have the time to look at every home on the market. At best, you might be able to tour 20 to 25, so pare down that list first thing with this advice:
- Send me two lists a few days before arriving: One should be of things you must have. The other should be for optional things you want. When a house doesn't even meet your needs, we can take it out of the list.
- Know your budget. If you are going to get a home loan, secure your pre-approved amount beforehand so we can eliminate homes which exceed your price range.
- Consider drive time to your job or other interests. Traffic in the Austin area could be different than what you're used to, so let me know how long a commute you're willing to undertake.
I can send you some best recommendations prior to your arrival. Or if you've done your own research already, let me know what you've found. While virtual tours and photos are great, there's nothing like visiting homes in person. Let me set up any necessary appointments and map a route. We could see up to 8 or 10 homes in a single day with the proper planning.
My goal is to see to it that by the end of your visit, you can be relieved to know you've found the best home for your family. Call me today at
