Contact Linda Bale

Linda reads every request herself. Her team site doesn't publish a response time, so this page doesn't promise one.

1. You get in touch. Call, text, email or send the form. Step one of the form asks when you are moving, your price range and your email; step two asks your name, mobile number, where you are moving from and your consent to be contacted.
2. Linda replies. She asks about your move: where you will work, when you need to be in Plano, your budget and what matters most in a home.
3. A first conversation. It carries no obligation. In the team's words: "You do not need to be ready to buy or sell."
4. A written buyer agreement. Before you tour homes with any agent, in person or by live video, NAR rules require a written buyer agreement (since August 17, 2024). It sets out the services and how the agent is paid, and the terms are negotiable.
5. Tours. In person when you fly in, or by FaceTime and video walk-throughs before then, as her out-of-state clients' reviews describe.

Nothing formal is needed. These five things make the first call faster:

• Timing. Your start date, lease end or home sale. The Texas new-resident checklist shows what has to happen in your first 90 days.
• Budget. A monthly figure that includes property tax, which in Plano is a large share of the payment. Try a price in the Plano property tax calculator, and see the Texas closing costs guide for cash to close.
• Your office address. Commute shapes the short list more than anything else. The drive and train times from Plano to Dallas compares the drive and DART.
• School district needs. If you want a particular district, say which. The Plano schools guide explains how district lines work and where to check an address.
• Loan status. Whether you have a pre-approval, and from which lender.

These answer the questions most movers ask Linda first:

1. The Collin County property tax guide: how the bill is built, the rates for each taxing unit and what a typical Plano home pays.
2. The cost of living in Plano: housing, utilities, insurance and taxes, side by side.
3. The guide to Plano neighborhoods: each area's homes, prices and commute, so you can name two or three to start.
