Renting Now, Ready to Buy?
If you have been renting in Dallas and are ready to buy, the first steps are the same for almost everyone: know your numbers, line the purchase up with your lease, and work with a buyer's agent who knows the areas you like. We connect you with a Dallas agent we trust and stay in the loop.
Know your numbers first
Compare what you pay in rent to what owning would cost with our rent vs own calculator, then see the price range that fits with the affordability calculator. Texas property tax is the line most people from other states miss, so look at the Dallas County property tax page too.
Line it up with your lease
Read your lease for the early termination terms and the notice it requires before move out. A purchase usually takes about 30 to 45 days from contract to closing once you are pre approved, so start talking to a lender and an agent a few months before your lease ends.
Get pre approved
A full pre approval tells you what you can spend and makes your offer stronger. If you are a first time buyer, read first time home buyers and Dallas down payment assistance.
How we help

You sign a written buyer agreement with that agent, and the fee is stated up front. If you are not ready yet, we help you find the right rental for one more lease.

Questions people ask
Should I break my lease to buy a house in Dallas?
Check the early termination terms in your lease first. Many people time the purchase so closing lands near the end of the lease instead.

Yes. We connect you with a Dallas buyer's agent we trust and stay in the loop.
