Buying a Home in Georgetown
Your real number first, a written buyer agreement, and the search, offer and closing run in one plan.
Historic Downtown or Newer Neighborhoods
Buying a home in Georgetown often comes down to how close you want to be to the historic downtown. The courthouse square is the heart of the town, and some buyers want to walk to it. Others prefer the newer neighborhoods farther out, with newer construction and a different set of costs. Both are Georgetown, and they make for very different homes.
I am Ai Tran, a Realtor and a Loan Officer, and I help you weigh the two with your real number in hand, so the choice is about how you want to live and what you want to pay each month.
Older Homes Near the Square Need a Closer Look
A home near the historic downtown can have character that newer homes do not, and it can also carry the wear of its age. I point out what to check on an older home, such as the roof, the foundation, the plumbing and the electrical, and the inspection in the option period gives you time to look closely and still walk away under the contract's terms.
Newer neighborhoods bring their own questions, such as community fees and upgrade costs. Either way, your number is built on your real income, and we sign a written buyer agreement before any showing. See how buying a home works with me for the steps from offer to closing.
I-35, the River and the Square
Georgetown sits on I-35 about 30 miles north of Austin, so the drive south is part of daily life for many buyers who work there. I ask where you are headed each day before I build the search. Close to home, Blue Hole Park sits on the San Gabriel River, and about 9 miles of river trails lead to San Gabriel Park.
