Relocating to Dallas-Fort Worth? Amy Jacobs, Your DFW Relocation REALTOR®
I facilitate and guide your move from another country or state, with step-by-step guidance and communication that create a smooth landing experience.
Your Relocation, Guided by Amy Jacobs
I am honored to guide you every step of the way throughout your relocation journey. I take a very tailored approach as your real estate agent; I’m not one to just show you homes. I want to make sure you FEEL at home before you even move here. I lead with RELATIONSHIP-shared goals, a servant’s heart, integrity, and compassion. Careful guidance, patience and persistence are trademarks that have allowed me to consistently deliver to my clients’ needs, time after time.
I pour my heart into my clients and strive to give them the best “white glove” service. When they work with me, they know and trust that I’m going to take care of them and make sure they’re comfortable every step of the way.
Why a Search Alone Rarely Answers a DFW Relocation
Online listings show a house. They do not show the drive to your office at the hour you will make it, how one community differs from the next, or which school district serves a particular address. When you are moving from another state or country, those are the questions that decide where you live, and a list of homes cannot answer them.
North Texas is not one place. Plano, Frisco, Prosper, Celina and McKinney each have their own communities, builders and district lines, and those lines can change from one street to the next. The right choice depends on your work, your timeline, and how you want your days to run.
How to Choose a Relocation REALTOR®: Seven Questions to Ask Any Agent
These are fair questions to ask any agent you are considering, including me.
- How many families have you guided from another state or country?
- Can you show me homes remotely, on live video or recorded tours, before I arrive?
- How will you plan my first visit so the time is spent deciding, not searching?
- Will you confirm the school district and attendance boundary for every address I consider?
- Who will I talk to when I have a question, and how quickly will I hear back?
- Who do you recommend for the parts of a move that are not real estate, such as banking, utilities and a driver license?
- What happens after closing?
What Experienced Relocation Agents Know
What an experienced relocation agent knows starts with you: exactly what your family is looking for before you ever arrive. Is it the drive? Is it being close to work? What matters most in your move? From the first call, I learn what is important to you, and I plan your arrival and your time here around it. That is why I encourage you to call early, even months ahead, and why many families choose from live or recorded video tours and arrive already knowing what they like. A conversation with a local lender early keeps the search on homes that fit. The school question is answered by address, never by a city name: I confirm the district and attendance boundary for every home, I do not rank or recommend schools, and I guide your research into the ones you choose.
I am not here to sell you a home. I am here to guide you through a transition that is already a large commitment. As you are uprooting your life, I am here to make it as effortless as possible.

How a Move Works, in Four Stages
- Before you land. The first call, a conversation about your work, schedule and how you want to live, and an early meeting with a local lender. See my lender resources.
- Finding your home from another state or country. Live or recorded video tours, then a pre-planning trip to decide.
- Under contract. The contract dates, inspections, and keeping your lender, appraisal and title work moving together.
- Closing and settling in. Keys in hand, then banking, your Texas driver license, utilities and move-in day.
Every step is on my 14-step relocation plan. Moving up, building new, or selling first? See new construction, move-up buyers, first-time buyers or selling your home.
