Buying a home in Plano
Ready before we look: pre-approval, a straight budget and a focused search, then every step to closing.
Buying a home in Plano
Buying a home in Plano puts you closer to Dallas than anywhere else I work. US 75 and the Dallas North Tollway handle the commute, there are lots of restaurants and entertainment, and the historic downtown draws people in for dining.
Most Plano homes were built in the 1970s and 1980s, and most have rear-entry alley driveways instead of front-entry garages.
Buying a forty-year-old home well
A home this age calls for a careful look at what's been updated and what hasn't: the roof, the heating and cooling, the plumbing and the electrical. We schedule the inspection in the first 4 days of the option period, and I negotiate repairs and follow the work through to receipts and photos. See how I help you buy.
