Getting To Know Your Prospective Community

co-written with Tawana Keah

Are the schools good or taxes reasonable?

Since real estate agent, Tawana Keah, operates in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area a lot of the information provided will be based on that area when particulars are called for.

Dallas is the third largest city in Texas and the ninth largest city in the United States. The Dallas-Fort Worth area consists of twelve counties: Collin, Dallas, Delta, Denton, Ellis, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant and Wise.

It would be a gross oversight to select a home without knowing anything about the community that surrounds it. Are the hospitals and doctors relatively close? Do the schools for your children meet your standards? Are the utility rates competitive? Are other services you may want or need available in your chosen neighborhood?
