Hey y'all,
So obviously Barrientos clan is in Texas now. Landed a week ago, staying in temporary housing.
Never been to Texas before, don't know the areas, and planned on just leasing a house for a year while we settled in. But as we found out, that's just not in our nature.
Long story short, we're quickly trying to squeeze finding and buying a house within a very short window. Understand market is en fuego, and way more people than homes. I've always found realtors to be kind of a waste or parasite (paid wayyyy beyond the value they provide, sorry to the realtors here), but might as see if anyone here has a friend or relative to use (might as well help out someone rather than hand over commission to a stranger).
We were looking at the greater Austin area, but have expanded out to Lake Conroe, San Marcos, Georgetown - basically anywhere.
