What You Get

What's actually in it.

1

9 suburbs, priced. Georgetown, Hutto, Pflugerville, Round Rock, Leander, Kyle, Buda, Lakeway, Liberty Hill. Median price, drive time, and who each one actually fits.

2

The property tax math. No income tax sounds great until the bill lands. Here's when Texas makes you richer and when it quietly costs you.

3

School ratings. Official TEA district grades for every area, with the catch most buyers miss about zoning.

4

Who Austin is NOT for. Eight honest reasons you might want to stay where you are.

5

Jobs and where the money is going. Samsung's $40B fab, the medical buildout, and what it means for home values.

6

How to buy from out of state. The exact process, start to finish, without living here yet.

Proof

From people who actually moved.

"They came to visit us from out of state and hoped to move quickly. Tucker made it super easy by working hard to move the process along with great communication. Tucker is relentless for you."

Josh MitchellOut-of-state buyers

"Tucker was willing to drive wherever we needed to go around Austin since we don't want to live in the city center. He was a huge help when it came down to battling among a few other parties for our home."

Brandon IngramSuburb buyers

"His calm demeanor & deep understanding of the home-buying process made what could have been a stressful time feel manageable and enjoyable. He always kept me informed & made sure I understood what was happening at every step."

Who's telling you this?

I'm Tucker. Husband, dad, and a full-time Realtor in Austin. My wife and I moved here ourselves, so I've been on your side of this decision.

I have one rule with every client: I tell you the truth even when it costs me the deal. That's why this guide has a page about who should not move here. If Austin isn't right for you, I'd rather you find out now than after you've bought a house.
