@topdallasrealtor: 📥 If you’re thinking of moving to Dallas, DM the word ‘GUIDE’ and I’ll send you my FREE “moving to Dallas” guide! Hello! I’m Michael, a real estate professional here in Dallas, Texas. I was born in Dallas and have lived in Nashville and LA, but ultimately found my way right back home to Dallas! Here’s what you need to know 👇🏼 1) Everyone panics about Texas property taxes, but your $1.2M LA house costs $15K/yr in taxes while a comparable $500K Dallas home is $8,500/yr - you’re still paying $542 MORE per month in LA with “low property taxes.” 2) Having no state income tax will feel abstract until tax season. Coming from California with a $250k salary you’re keeping an extra $20K-$30K annually - it’s real money you can actually use to build your future. 3) School choice isn’t just about options - it’s about dismantling the idea that your zip code determines your kid’s future. Families in a $250k house have access to the same programs as families in $2M homes. 4) Yes, it’s hot in summer. But you know what’s harder than 100° heat? Paying $3,200/month for a 900 sq ft apartment in a city with “perfect weather.” We have AC and affordable square footage. 5) The traffic complaints you hear are from people who’ve never sat in LA/Seattle/DC gridlock. Rush hour here adds 20 minutes. Not 60. 6) People panic because the suburbs are 30 minutes out. but those same people were commuting 75 minutes each way in their old city. The difference? Here you’re driving home to your $350k new build instead of a $1.2M teardown. 7) The space. Not just inside your house - space in parking lots, restaurants, roads, stores. Texas is huge. We have plenty of space for everyone. No more circling the block 5 times to find a parking spot. 8) The friendliness isn’t fake - people wave at you, hold doors, or help without being asked. The person helping you jumpstart your car at 7-Eleven isn’t going to ask for your Instagram handle. They’re just... being nice.” 📥 If you’re thinking of moving to Dallas, DM the word ‘GUIDE’ and I’ll send you my FREE “moving to Dallas” guide! Ready to start your Dallas / Ft Worth area home search?
