My advice for buying in Houston
Property taxes in the Houston area vary a lot from one address to the next because of school district, MUD and other special district rates. I'll show you the full tax picture before you make an offer.
Every home search with me covers the details that protect you in Texas: the seller's disclosure, flood zone and flood history, the full property tax rate (including any MUD or PID), HOA rules, the inspection during your option period, and your homestead exemption after closing.
Selling a home in Houston?
I price homes using recent HAR sales nearby, prepare your home with professional photos and a cinematic video tour, and market it on HAR.com, the major home search sites and social media. Get a free price opinion.
