My advice for buying in Katy
Many Katy neighborhoods are in a MUD (municipal utility district), which adds to the property tax rate. I'll pull the exact rate for every home we look at.
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 Katy?
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.
Buyers from anywhere in the world
As a Certified International Property Specialist who has lived in several countries, I help international buyers and newcomers to Houston understand the Texas buying process from start to finish, in English or Spanish. International buyers · Commercial property
