Good Schools Matter.

As a twelve year veteran of the real estate industry, the single most asked question of my clients is:  “Where can I get information on schools in the area?” Good Schools Matter to Everyone.

Research test scores, student, and teacher information are all of consideration for families looking to relocate to a new area because they look to take advantage of the high performing public schools when at all possible.

A community's public school system really drives the location choice for most of the home-buying public; it's a reflection on future resale value.

High quality schools draw home buyers to an area.  If you think about it, schools are the bottom line of every community.  No Kids?  We all benefit from good public schools.  When schools are good, property values are higher and communities thrive.

If you are a business owner, the major advantage of a strong, well-funded public school system is clear:  A qualified workforce.

Quality public schools matter in real estate purchases.  The National Association of Realtors mentions “Of all the local neighborhood amenities that can influence a Buyer to purchase a home, proximity to quality schools is one of the most influential.”
