Buying or selling a home zoned to Faldyn?

Katy Court trades on new-build value with a Katy High address today and a boundary map that could look different in three years — both halves of that sentence belong in your decision, and I’ll put real numbers on each. As your real estate buyer’s agent I’ll confirm the district’s current assignment on every home we tour, weigh dues, MUD taxes and flood history, and negotiate on your behalf — we’ll agree on how I’m paid up front and in writing.
