1. Thinking Dallas and Fort Worth are the same. They’re more like distant cousins who only hang out on holidays. Dallas is flashy, fast paced, and full of high rises. Fort Worth is laid-back a little gritty and full of charm know the difference or prepare for a surprise.

2. Focus only on square foot is not lifestyle. Sure you can get more house for your money here but can you handle a 45 minute commute in a Texas summer? Between toll roads, school zones, and endless sprawl, your ZIP Code matters more than your floor plan.

3. Believe everything is cheaper in Texas. We get it no state income taxes but our proper taxes are spicy and some areas come with big HOA fees that 425K home may have $1000 month tax plus insurance bill do the math before you fall in love.

4. Not understanding neighborhood culture Moving to DFW isn’t just about north or south it’s about finding your people from bougie suburbs to family first master plans to urban cool each pocket has its own energy.

5. Community takes Effort DFW is huge. Like quotes could fit some small countries inside a huge your dream neighborhood might be 30 minutes from your gym, church or kids school but once you find your group and show up consistently your people will find you back.
