Buying or selling a home zoned to Stephens?

Five distinction designations at a campus this size is the quiet headline — a standout record for a campus of under 600 students, and the compact zone means short school runs from every section. Two high schools serve it, though, so the address check comes first. As your real estate buyer’s agent I’ll confirm the 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.
