When Should I Move in Collin County TX?

When Should I Move?

When should I move? This is a question that keeps running through your mind for various reasons.  You may want a change of environment, change of career, family reasons, and other personal reasons and situations that call the need of moving.

If you are planning to move, or If you are trying to decide whether you should move or not, there are many things you need to consider.  There will be a lot of questions you need to ask yourself.

Can I afford to move now?

Is it your first time to move?  You might not be aware of how much it will cost to move and what the cost will be.  Unless you are moving to a cheaper place, moving means spending more than you will ever get back.  When you move, you should set a budget for the list below or else you will end up spending more than you should be.

Moving company expenses.  When hiring moving companies, it is advisable, you have to ask for estimates at least from 3 or 5 companies for comparison purposes.  Moving company expenses includes the moving company fee which is inclusive of fuel and labor, additional insurance, extra services like professional packing, preparing appliances, moving furniture, etc., and other extra charges for flight charge, long carry charge, and others.  Here's a list of moving companies in Collin County, TX:

• Wildcat Movers
• Black Tie Moving Services

• All My Sons Moving and Storage
• Power House Movers
• Morgan Moving
• Anything Goes Moving

Move on your own.  If you prefer to do the moving without moving companies, there are also expenses you need to include in your budget.  Surely, you are going to need a truck rental.  Other items you need to include in your budget are fuel, extra equipment rental, and a budget for incidentals in case you'll need extra gas, and extra stops.  Always ask the rental agencies what other extra services are included in their packages to save more.




Travel expenses.  There are still other expenses you need to consider whether you are hiring movers or you are moving on your own.  If you have a car, include in your budget the transportation costs - fuel, maintenance costs, and driver fees if you are going to need one.

Along with your traveling, depending on the distance, set up a budget for lodging, meals, your child/children's needs, and your pet's needs if you have one.

Packing.  Do not underestimate the things you need to purchase when packing.  Know the number of moving boxes you will need.  Determine how many bubblewrap, newsprints, tape, labels mattress covers or padding you are going to use in packing.  You might want to do a research on storage fees, too.

It is always better to set a budget with extras for 'what ifs' and for emergencies, in case.  Set the highest budget you can afford for your moving expenses.

Here's a list where you can buy boxes for moving your things:

• Home Depot
• Cheap Cheap Moving Boxes
• Varage Sale
• Basic Packaging Supply
• Uboxes
• Box Quest
• Boxes 4U

If I move now, what about my job?

Let's say, you are done listing all the expenses needed when moving and you see that you have the budget to cover it all up.  Next question you need to ask yourself is, 'what about my job?'  If you are moving because of a new job, your decision of whether to move or when to move is up to the company.

But if you are moving and knowing that you need to find a new and better job, you need to set the date of moving after you have found the perfect job in that new place.  This is to ensure financial stability for you and your family.

Finding a job is not easy especially if you are looking for a job in a place where you don't live.  Check out the job market in the new city or town you are moving to.  Do they have better job market?  Are you going to land in a job better than your previous job?  What about the salary and the cost of living in the area?  All these questions need to be answered positively so you could say yes on moving.

Will I be able to find a new place to live?

So, now you have landed a job.  The next question is, 'where will you live?'  You are luckiest if the new job offers a housing for you and your family.  But this only happens once in a million job offers.  So you have to start searching for a good place to stay.  Of course, it is always best to look for a place near your work.

Have you decided if you are going to rent or buy a home?  Choosing to rent sometimes is not a good choice.  If it's going to be for a few months, it could work.  But renting for years?  Paying rent month after month is just like throwing money but getting nothing.

To rent or to buy a new home, you will need to know whether the housing market you are going to will make it easy or difficult.  All resources for home buyers are already available online.  Try our home search to get a list of homes for sale in a specific area you are looking to move into.  We made the search easier for you.  You can search by city, search by subdivision, zip code, search homes nearby schools, and you can even search for homes near your work.  To make it easier, you can just contact us or give us a call at 972-948-0715 for the newest listings.  We will make the home search and your move easier and hassle less.

When is the perfect timing to move?

Let's say everything is all set.  You've set the budget for moving and you see that you can afford to move anytime,  you already landed a new better job in the new city, and you just found the perfect place you and your family will live.  What's next?  The date.  When is the right time?

There are factors that may affect the moving date.  Most of the time, it is based on your new job's call.  It would be better to set the moving date days before your first day at work.  This gives you a time to settle down on your new home and prepare.

Whether you are going to rent or you have bought a new home, the good question is, when will the new home ready to move in?  There have been situations wherein you have already travelled all your things and reached the new place just to see it is not yet ready to move in.  This will cost you paying storage for your things and paying lodge for a night or two.

If you have children going to school, it might be a good idea to consider moving when the school year ends so not to affect the kids' schooling.  If due to some reasons, this is not permitted, there are ways to help your children change schools, deal with the move, and cope with the new environment.

When you move, are you gong to leave behind family and friends?  If possible, avoid moving on or before major holidays like Christmas, New Year, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, and other holidays, festivals or special occasions like birthdays and anniversaries.  These are the times you should be celebrating or at least be with your loved ones.  You wouldn't be in a new place and be lonely during these days.  Better yet, take the holidays or any special occasion to say goodbyes.

What season is a good time to move?  There are two important things you need to know.  Most people schedule their move on a summer.  No school for kids, the weather is perfect, and family and friends are mostly available for help.  Perfect time, right?  You do have to realize that this seems to be the perfect time for other people to move, too.  So expect moving companies to be on their peak season.  Rates becomes higher, and trucks become unavailable.

You also would not want to move during winter for simple reasons - it's cold and snowy.  Travelling is not going to be easy.  Freezing temperature might cause damages to your things.  Also, the change of climate - from cold to warm or the other way around will cause damages to your household items, especially if they were not properly sealed.  So if you are in a warm place and planning to move to a place with the winter season in time, it is best to consider rescheduling your move.

Moving anytime of year is not easy unless you have a flexible time.

The Best Pizza Places in Collin County TX

Everyone loves pizza!  Tried not to like it, but who can resist that crispy crust with cheese and such yummy toppings!  There's no denying that it's one of the most popular foods found throughout the world.  Pizza houses are becoming more creative in making different varieties of pizza.  There are endless combination possibilities from different types of pizza crust, toppings, seasonings, and baking techniques.  Nowadays, we can enjoy not just the typical Pepperoni and Hawaiian pizzas.  It seems anything can be added as a topping on your pizza.

First, let's talk about the different types of pizzas.  You might be wondering what type of pizza is the most pizzalicious.

Neapolitan Pizza

Neapolitan Pizza is often credited as the original pizza that was introduced by Italians.  It is the basis for the modern American pizza that we love today.  The authentic Neapolitan pizza is typically made with tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil as its toppings, along with wheat flour, natural Neapolitan yeast, salt and water for the dough.  Unlike the other types of pizza, Neapolitan pizza doesn't have a lot of toppings like meats and vegetables.  The crust should be thin and crunchy and too many toppings will make it soggy.

Sicilian Pizza

Still originated from Italy, Sicilian pizza is known and is different from the other types of pizza due to its rectangular shape and square slices.  This is best for a large group of pizza lovers.  Unlike Neapolitan, Sicilian pizza has thick crust - over an inch thick, and a lot of sauce and cheese.

Deep Dish Pizza

Deep Dish Pizza hails from Chicago, that's why some call it Chicago deep dish.  As the name suggests, this pizza's crust is very deep, creating a very thick pizza that resembles a pie.  Although the pizza looks very thick, the crust itself is thin to medium in thickness with a very thick layer of toppings.  Because of it's thickness, it needs longer baking time and the traditional way of putting the toppings is different.  Meats, vegetables and cheeses are placed on the bottom enabling them to be completely cooked and not burning the cheeses. Then the sauce and other toppings on top.  You are going to need a knife and fork to eat this pizza.

New York Thin Crust

New York Style Thin Crust is made with large hand tossed thin crust, balanced thin tomato sauce, and lots of mozzarella cheese.  This pizza is made thin because it is intended to be folded when eaten.

Gourmet Pizza

Gourmet pizza or California Style Pizza is known because of it's unusual or different toppings.  Instead of just the traditional tomato sauce, this pizza uses different sauces or no sauce at all.  Gourmet pizza can have pate, duck, chicken, broccoli, oysters, scallop, shrimp, and a lot more to be added on the toppings. Dessert and breakfast pizzas are also considered California Style Pizza.

There are a lot more types of pizzas.  The type of pizza depends on how it's 3 parts are created: dough/crust, toppings and sauce.  You can even create your own.

Plano, TX is the 7th Safest City in America

Plano, TX is the 7th Safest City in America

Based on 2014 crime statistics from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report, Law Street ranked Plano, TX is the 7th safest city in America!  We are talking about the FBI’s four major violent crime categories which are murders, aggravated assaults, robberies, and forcible rapes.  The Law Street’s Crime Team created a standard measure of each violent crimes for every 100,000 people living among all cities with over 100,000 people reporting crime data to the FBI.

With this carefully calculated formula, with a year to year and city to city comparison, the City of Plano in Texas is now the 7th Safest City in America.  It has moved one spot from number 6 to number 7 this year.  Still among the top 10 in all American cities!

Here's the statistics gathered by Law Crime form FBI's crime data:

Violent Crime Rate: 165.2/100,000 people

Murder Rate: 1/100,000 people

Population: 277,822

Officer to Population Ratio: 1:796



It is not hard to understand why it is so safe to live in a city like Plano, TX.  So what makes Plano as one of the safest cities in America?  What are the factors that may affect the safety of one place?

Wealth is one factor.  “One of the underlying things, in terms of a city’s safety, would be a very strong tax base, as there are a number of services that are reliant on it,” said Scott B. Clark, president of the New York-based Risk and Insurance Management Society.  “That includes an effective, well-staffed police department, fire department, and school system,” he added.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the median household income in Plano, TX is $82,484.  That's nearly 60% above the national average which is $53,046.  7.7% of residents are below the poverty line, compared to a national rate of 14.8%.

Employment is another factor.  Sometimes the core reason of why there are crimes in an area is due to unemployment.  The unemployment rate in Plano is 4.30% which is lower than the national average of 6.30%.  With the recent job growth 3.43% and an estimated job growth of 42.60% over the next 10 years, there's no doubt, crime rates will continue to decrease.

Plano is a decidedly white-collar city, with over 90% of the workforce are employed in white-collar jobs, which is way above the national average.  Plano is a city of professionals, managers, and sales and office workers.  “High-growth cities with low unemployment are safer,” says Bruce McIndoe, president of iJet Intelligent Risk Systems, a Maryland-based risk-assessment firm. “When people are gainfully employed, they are more invested in their city.”

For public safety, the City of Plano's Police Department mission is to provide outstanding police services, in partnership with the community, to maintain a safe environment that contributes to the quality of life.  The City of Plano Police Department is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) and has received the Accreditation with Excellence Award, which designated Plano as an extraordinary example in Law Enforcement.  The Plano Police Department is nationally known for its highly trained officers, outstanding salaries and benefits, and first-class equipment.

One thing unique when it comes to handling crimes in the city is that Plano regularly conducts classes, seminars and workshops related to public safety and crime prevention.  Also whenever there is an event or activity in the city, the Plano Police Department are always involved for security.

In Plano, one of the biggest factors making it one of the safest cities in America is how the citizens act together to ensure the safety of their fellows.  The city has citizen programs which include the CARE Program, Citizens Assisting Plano Police, Community Camera Program, Neighborhood Crime Watch, Take Me Home Program, and so much more!  There is a citizen public safety program for everyone!  How sweet living in such a place with neighbors watching out for each other.  Too good to be true?  No, this is absolutely real in Plano.  In fact, the city has been consistently receiving awards, accreditations, and titles proving how safe it is to live in Plano, TX.

In 2005, 2006, and 2011, Plano was designated the best place to live in the Western United States by CNN Money magazine.  In 2006, Plano was selected as the 11th best place to live in the United States by CNN Money magazine.  It was also selected as the safest city in America in 2010 and 2011 by Forbes.  Then recently, the American Planning Association (APA) named Downtown Plano one of four Great Neighborhoods on the organization’s annual Great Places in America list.  Plano was also named the #9 Top Place to Settle Down by Leaf Filter North, Inc.  Another one this year 2015 is WalletHub named Plano the 2nd Best City for Families.  Also, Plano has been named one of the Top 100 places to Live for 2016 according to Livability.com.  There are so many more accolades and accreditations for the City of Plano this year alone.  Plano is not called a "City of Excellence" for nothing.

Safety is always on the top priority when we are looking to move or buy a new property in another city.  And this is one of the biggest reason why I would recommend moving and living in Plano.

What is Your Credit Score When Buying a House?

Looking to buy or sell a house in North Dallas?  Call the Fejeran Group at 972-948-0715, get free real estate market snapshot here, or use our home value estimator.

What Should Your Credit Score Be When Buying a House?

All of us dream of buying our own house someday.  We want to own a house, have a family - perfect picture!  And to get to that perfect home of yours, there are requirements and processes which you can talk through with the experts at The Fejeran Group.

With all the things you should know when buying a home, let's talk about how credit score affects the process of buying a house.

What is credit score?  The term credit score refers to a 3-digit number that represents a person's creditworthiness.  Most commonly, a credit score is the calculated score from a formula developed by Fair, Isaac and Company or FICO - that's why credit score is sometimes called FICO score.  They use credit information coming from the three major credit reporting agencies – Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.  This is the score most lenders and insurance companies today are using.  Scores are calculated by FICO from the following components:

Source: myfico.com

1. Payment History - This determines the 35% of your credit score.  Have you been paying your bills on time?  The more bills consumer pay on time, the higher their score is.
2. Amounts Owed - 30% of your score is determined by how many lines of credit you have, and how high the balance on each is.
3. Length of Credit History - a longer credit history will increase your credit score.  This is the 15% of your total score.
4. Credit Mix In Use - FICO considers the type of credit cards you have: retail accounts, installment loans, finance company accounts and mortgage loans.  This is 10% of your credit score.
5. New Credit - The remaining 10% of your score is determined by how many credit accounts have you opened recently.  Opening several credit accounts in a short period of time represents a greater risk especially for people who don't have a long credit history.

With the use of credit score, people can get loans faster,  helping lenders speed up loan approvals.  Credit decisions are now fairer.  Using credit scores, lenders can focus only on the facts related to credit risk and not on personal feelings.  Negative credit information count for less.  Your past credit problems fade as time passes and as good payment patterns start to show up on your credit report.

When it comes to buying a house, credit scores matter - BIG TIME!  As the old saying goes..."Credit is King"... How?  Your credit score is one of the factors that your mortgage lender will use to determine if you qualify for financing.  Your score gives lenders a fast, objective measurement of your credit risk.  You wouldn't want it to be low.

Your Credit Score When Buying a House

When you start the home buying process, the mortgage lender will check your application along with all the requirements before you are qualified to get a loan.  Home buying qualifications include your job history, salary history, current wage, available credit, bill payment history, down payment and closing costs, ability to make monthly mortgage payments, and of course, your credit score.

Your credit score plays a big role in determining your mortgage loan interest rate.  What are the types of mortgage loans?  Fixed Rate Mortgage is one of the common mortgage loans where payments remain the same for the life of the loan - 15 to 30 years.  Interest rates remain the same.  Adjustable Rate Mortgage or ARM is another type of mortgage loan.  ARM payment increases or decreases on a regular schedule with changes in interest rates.  Another one is called Balloon Mortgage which offers very low rates for the first couple of years, around 5 to 10 years.  After that, the balance is due or refinanced.  Two-step Mortgage interest rate adjusts only once then remains the same for the life of the loan.  For more information and other types of mortgage loans, call us.

Whichever among the mortgage loans mentioned above is used, the credit score will still affect the mortgage interest rate.  The higher your score, the easier the buying process will be.  If you have good credit, you'll be given a mortgage loan with a lower interest rate.  When I say good credit score, I mean a credit score of 700 or up.

So, does a bad credit score mean you will not be able to obtain a home loan?  Luckily, no!  So, don't stop there.  If you have a credit score of less than 700, it just means it's not going to be easy but not impossible.

Let's say you have a credit score of 695.  That's just 5 points less the 700 mark, but those 5 points can cost you thousands of dollars.  For example, your loan principal amount is $200,000 with a 30-year fixed rate.  That 5-point difference could result to paying $7,200 more in interest charges, assuming a 3.68% percent interest rate with a 700 credit score and a 3.86 percent rate on a 695 score.  You could save that $7,200 for your downpayment if you increase your score for just 5 points.

The amount you need to put for the downpayment is also affected.  The lower credit score is, the higher the down payment will be.  Someone with a credit score of 600, will end up putting down larger downpayment than somebody with a credit score of 700.

Don't give up your dream home?  Do you think that you may not be able to obtain a home mortgage?  Even if you have bad credit, you can still get a home mortgage loan.

Remember, these are just examples.  This is just to show how much the difference is between credit scores.  The truth is, there is really no minimum credit score to get a mortgage loan.  The problem is, every lender uses different methods and different factors to determine whether you have a good enough credit score or not.

There's always a way when you want it.  When you want to get better offers and get the right home for your family, work on your credit score.

The first step is to get a copy of your credit report.  Check if there are items on your credit report that you think are disputable.  Then, work on restoring your credit.  Having a good credit score is a very important factor not only when buying a home...

Review and Improve Your Credit Score

You should take care of your credit because once negative information is recorded in your credit report, following the Federal Law, it will be removed after 7 years!  While bankruptcy may remain on the record for 10 years.  Include this information whenever you check your credit report.  Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you have the right to have outdated information removed.  If you notice that your credit report has negative information on it that is older than seven years, contact the credit reporting company and request that they remove this old negative information from your credit report.

Make time to check your credit report regularly.  Examine the report closely to check for any possible discrepancies or errors.  If you do find any discrepancies in financial amounts or any other errors, highlight them so that you can dispute them.  If proven there were errors, the credit bureau is obligated to remove them.  This is one of the easiest ways to improve your score.

After reviewing and resolving the discrepancies, your credit report will be adjusted.  After all the adjustments, and it is not yet enough to bring up your score, then there are other things you can do to get a more desirable credit score.

It is best to start restoring your bad credit.

Be diligent in paying. Make sure all of your monthly bills are paid on time because late payments drive down your credit score.  If you have missed payments, get current and be on time moving forward. You may want to set up Automatic Bill Pay using your debit card to avoid missing the due date of your bills.  Having a record of "good payer" will grant you better scores.

Do not let any of your delinquent accounts go into collections.  Try to pay them off.  Your payment will be considered late payment.  Better late than never.  You also wouldn't like outbound agents to be calling you every morning regarding your outstanding balance, do you?  Consider debt payments in your monthly budget plan.

YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: Do New Jobs Mean New Homes?

Avoid maxing out your credit accounts.  Maxed-out credit accounts can also hurt your score.  One tip is to transfer balances from a card that's close to being maxed out to other cards to even out your usage.  But it is best to pay it down.  Sometimes, it's just discipline.  You know when your credit account is almost maxed out so don't go on that 50% sale at the mall to avoid any unnecessary buys.  Instead, remove a credit card from your wallet, hide it or cut it up and save for a substantial down payment.

BIG NO NO's - There are also things that you shouldn't do to improve your credit score:

• Don't close unused credit cards as a short-term strategy to raise your scores.  Closing unused credit accounts without paying down your balance may increase your utilization ratio.  If you want to close credit accounts, choose the newer ones. A longer credit history will increase your credit score.
• Don't open a number of new credit cards that you don't need, just to increase your available credit.  Opening several credit accounts in a short period of time represents a greater risk and this is 10% of your credit score.

In purchasing a house, it's not just about the credit score.  You can still purchase your own home even with a bad credit score.  Yes, credit matters, but at the end of the day, the important thing to get approved is to let the lender know that you are ready, willing, and will be able to repay your loan.

Okay, before you go hunting those fun ideas for your costumes, here are some Halloween costume tips:

Via Youtube | dope2111

• Make sure your costume and its accessories are fire-retardant.  Avoid wearing something that can easily catch fire.  You wouldn't want your Halloween party to become a real horror.
• Avoid wearing or using anything that contain lead.   make ups, masks, and other costume accessories may contain lead.  Lead poisoning can cause irreversible brain damage to young children.
• Experts recommend wearing make up instead of masks and hair-coloring products instead of wigs for safety purposes.
• Kids' outfits should be made with light colored materials to make them more visible.
• Do not bring or use anything that can harm others.  For swords, knives and other accessories, they should be made from rubber or any flexible materials.
• Attach your child’s name, address and your telephone number with  area code to his/her clothes in case your child gets lost or separated from you.
• Also, avoid costume ideas such as Sexy Children's Character, and anything Political.

Halloween Preparations

The fall season focuses on the Halloween events, parties and preparation.  October 31, the big day is fast approaching.  It's time to start preparing for the party and trick-or-treaters.

Decorate the outside of your home so it will look more appealing this Halloween.  Add pumpkins to your steps, the gate or the entire entrance for to add more Halloween feel at home.  There are varieties of colors and sizes.  Don't stick to just one color and one size.  Bring out your creative side in using pumpkins as decoration so it's not the typical regular pumpkins decoration in the house.  Carve those pumpkins.  Don't let those pumpkins just stand in there as it is.  That's not attractive at all.

A little gardening can add glamor to your Halloween decoration.  Create a simple landscape with plants, flowers, and pumpkins on the frontage.  To buy plants, flowers, gardening/landscaping accessories, and landscaping tips, you can visit the following in Collin County:

• Puckett’s Nursery & Landscape (972-727-1145) - 811 E Main St., Allen, TX 75002
• Shades of Green (972-335-9095) - 7401 Coit Rd., Frisco, TX 75035
• North Texas Palms & Pottery (972-679-6501) - 4202 W University Dr., McKinney, TX 75071
• Colmenero Mexican Imports (469-733-6496) - 1205 S McDonald St., McKinney, TX 75069
• Monty's Bananas (972-971-5122) - Located in Frisco, Texas

Put something Halloween in your door or gate like a scarecrow or a decorative raven to add more effect.

Inside the house, for your treats, fill glass jars with yellow, orange, black, and white candies to match the Halloween colors.  For some cheap and cool decorations this Halloween, you can check the list of the stores we've listed above, under the Costume and Make-Ups section. The same stores also offer Halloween decorations.

Here are other tips in preparation for Halloween 2015:

• Clear the yard.  Take off ladders, hoses, dog leashes and flower pots that can trip your visitors and trick-or-treaters.
• Add more lights around the house, driveways or gates to avoid accidents from hard-to-see objects.
• Do not use a live candle for your jack-o-lantern instead use a plug-in or battery-operated one.
• Secure your pets indoors, or arrange for them to stay somewhere else. Some pets become frightened and others may become territorial or even aggressive towards trick-or-treaters.
• Check that the path and stairs to your front door are well illuminated and clear of obstacles. While it’s tempting to create a dark and spooky home theme, poor lighting can be a major safety hazard.
• Consider healthier treat options like low-fat crackers, single-serve boxes of cereal, packaged fruit rolls or raisins; or non-food treats such as (unsharpened) pencils, stickers or coins.
• Follow community guidelines for trick-or-treating hours. If it’s dark outside, provide your child with a flashlight or glow stick to help them see steps and other obstructions.

We hope you we've helped you on all the information you need for the upcoming Halloween in Collin County.  The Fejeran Group wishes you a safe and happy Halloween with your family and friends.  When you’re ready to buy a home or sell a home in North Dallas, give us a call at 972-948-0715.
