Relocating to the Texas or Austin area
Moving to a new town is stressful on its own, without adding the daunting task of searching for a place for your family plus 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 most buyers go into home search mode - they may end up with 50+ listings to consider. Naturally, that's too many homes to see first hand if you're limited on time! I will help you to narrow your search down to a couple dozen houses, with these tips in mind:
- Before coming into town, arrange your needs into one list. Then put the things you simply want in another. If a home comes up short on your must-haves, it's one less house to look at.
- Have a set price range. This could be based on mortgage or a safe estimate of how much you'll get from the sale of your current home.
- Consider drive time to work or other activities. Traffic around Austin could be different than what you're accustomed to, so tell me how long a commute you're willing to undertake.
I can send you some top recommendations before we meet in person. Or you could already have some favorite listings culled from your own research. While virtual tours and photos are great, there's nothing like touring 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 if we work efficiently.
My focus is to see to it that by the end of your visit, you can be rest assured you've found the best home for your family. Call me today at
