FAQs — Relocation Services

Q. Is Houston a good city to relocate to?

A. Yes. Houston offers a strong job market, no state income tax, a lower cost of living compared to many major metros, and diverse neighborhoods that fit a wide range of lifestyles, budgets, and commute needs.

Q. How different are Houston neighborhoods from each other?

A. Very different. Houston is made up of multiple distinct sub-markets, each with its own pricing, schools, commute patterns, housing styles, and lifestyle. Choosing the right area requires local, neighborhood-level knowledge—not just city-wide data.

Q. Can I buy a home in Houston before moving?

A. Yes. Many relocation buyers purchase remotely. With the right local representation, buyers can confidently tour homes virtually, understand neighborhood tradeoffs, and coordinate inspections and closing before arriving in Houston.

Q. What should out-of-state buyers know about Texas real estate?

A. Texas has no state income tax, higher property taxes than some states, widespread HOA usage, and different contract norms. Relocation buyers benefit from guidance that explains these differences clearly before making decisions.

Q. How long does relocation typically take?

A. Timelines vary, but most relocation purchases take 30–60 days once a property is under contract. The planning and area-selection phase can be shorter or longer depending on how familiar the buyer is with Houston.
