I guide relocating families to Plano, Frisco, Prosper, Celina and McKinney. Start with a place or start with a way of living, and I will help you build a short list you can actually tour. You can call early. There is no pressure and no need to have it figured out.

Turn-key relocation

One person manages the move, not eight.

Relocation work since 2012, with more than 800 families served. I handle the parts other agents hand back to you.

See the relocation plan
  • The home search from far away, with recorded video tours of homes, streets and routes to work
  • School research, matched to the homes near the schools you choose
  • Banking and Social Security setup, utilities and move-in
  • A plan built around your start date, not the market's

Moving you forward, to move you home

Tell me what matters most, and we will build your short list together.
