Dallas Crew - Looking to lease a house
Anyone have a good real estate connection in the Dallas area, or know of a house for lease? My wife and I are flying in next Wednesday, Feb 6 to look for a house to lease. I've spoken to a few agents but none seem very enthused to help, I don't know what gives. I was hoping we could hook up with one or two agents and have them show us houses, but I'm not getting any warm fuzzies, so I think we may just need to schedule a bunch of separate appointments.
Here's my boilerplate -
--------------------------------------------------------------------
My wife and I are moving from Long Island to the Dallas area in late March, and we need a 2+ bedroom house with a 2 car garage for 6 months to a year while we familiarize ourselves with the area before buying. A garage is an absolute must. I’m a car nut, and spend my time tinkering. So any house with a large, detached garage will be a big bonus.
Our budget is $1,600 per month, we have 2 grown, house-broken cats, and we're only interested in single family houses, in move in condition, with appliances, and no HOA fees.
A good walkability score would be nice, as well as access to running paths, parks etc. I’ll be working from home 3 to 4 days a week, and going in to the office in Irving right next to DFW the other days, and I'd like to keep the commute to 45 minutes or less.
We're flying in to Dallas on Feb 6, and need a realtor to work with us on Feb 7 and 8.
