Buying or selling a home zoned to Hayes?

Hayes is the rare zone where the junior-high split doesn’t matter — both roads are A-rated and both end at Taylor — so buyers can shop Westgreen Park and Kelliwood Gardens purely on house, lot, and price. That freedom shows in how quickly the well-kept ones go. 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.
