What this actually
looks like
Roughly a third of our buyers arrive from somewhere else, most often the Northeast, Texas and California. They rarely have six weekends to spend flying in, so we compress the learning into a structured week.
The concierge service covers the practical things that decide whether a move feels good: commute times at the hours you actually drive, parking rules, insurance, school registration timelines and which streets flood in a hard September rain.
Included as standard

Read all questionsThree to four months before your move date is ideal. It gives us time to send the briefing pack, run video tours and plan one efficient discovery day.
We can point you to district boundaries, registration calendars and the questions to ask on a school visit. We do not rank or recommend schools, since that is a decision only your family can make.
We explain evacuation zones, what a typical September looks like, and what insurers will ask you. It is a normal part of living here, not a reason to be alarmed.
Yes. We are happy to coordinate with a relocation management company and to provide the reporting they require.
