In Denton, there’s three important questions to ask when you go house hunting. It’s not always about finding the perfect house at the right price.
- The ratings of the area schools: Some people don’t think to ask because they don’t have kids, but it’s important to know where you sit in ratings of area schools for the purpose of resale value. Ratings range anywhere from poor to exemplary, and you can find them all on our website.
- Utilities and fees: You can’t just look at the average utilities. Is the property in a co-op or is managed by the city? Those will make a difference in your rates, as well as whether or not it is unregulated. Can you choose your electricity provider? We can help you with all of that information. You need to find out if your property is located in an area that collects a special resale tax when you sell. Some areas tack on an additional fee when you turn around and sell.
- What the area is like over the course of the day: Find out what the area is like during at least three different times of day. You’re probably seeing a house during the day, but look out at night for things like how many cars are parked and how many people are home or not home. You should also look into what it’s like on the weekend versus midweek.
