Relocating?
Moving to Fort Worth
A lot of my buyers are relocating from California, New York, and other higher-cost states. Shopping from a distance, Texas property taxes, and a hard move date all change the game. I've helped enough families make the move to know the rookie mistakes.

Buyer FAQs
Common questions
How much are closing costs in Texas?
Buyers typically budget roughly 2–4% of the purchase price for lender fees, title, escrow, prepaid taxes, and insurance. Your lender will give you an exact Loan Estimate.
What is the option period?
In Texas, buyers usually pay a small option fee for a negotiated number of days to inspect the home and walk away for any reason. It's one of the most important protections you have.
Are property taxes high in Fort Worth?
Texas has no state income tax, so property taxes do more of the work. Rates vary by city, county, and school district, so we'll look at the actual tax bill for every home you're serious about.
Can I buy a historic home with a renovation loan?
Yes. Renovation loans can finance the purchase and the work together. Here's how they work.
