No state income tax, newer homes for the money, and 300+ days of sun — here’s what to know if you’re relocating, plus how to buy your new home without flying in.

Read the Oregon guide →Most of my buyers are relocating from California, Arizona, Washington and beyond. Here’s how we do it remotely.
I register you with the builder before your first visit so your representation is locked in — free to you — and connect you with a lender if you want one.
I walk the model and the actual homesite on FaceTime, or film it and send Google Drive video links — lot, street, views and all.
We choose the right homesite, push past the advertised incentive, and handle the contract remotely. You sign electronically.
