Questions About Our Coverage

Can I choose more than one city?

Yes. Pick a primary city, then add other markets or suburbs you would consider and tell us how far you are willing to move. Each community appears on your list once.

Are Dallas and Fort Worth researched together?

They are separate markets, but you can request both for a broader DFW search.

Do you have local offices in each city?

No. Our team is based in Austin and serves all five markets. Requests are handled online and by email.

Do the suburbs listed match housing authority boundaries?

No. The suburbs are examples of areas we commonly research, not statements about government-program jurisdictions.

How fast will I get my list?

Within 48 hours of a completed request, by text message and email.
