How do I choose an area if I don't know Utah?

Start with drive time to the places you go every week, then your budget and the kind of home you want. Our Moving to Utah guide shows drive times and official links for each area we serve; we fill in the rest on a call.

How long does it take to buy a home in Utah?

From an accepted offer to closing is often 30 to 45 days. Finding the right home first can take a few weeks or a few months.

Should I rent first when I move to Utah?

Renting for a few months gives you time to learn the area; buying first saves a second move. We will go through both with you, including what your lender needs if your job is new.

Which schools serve a home?

Each Utah school district publishes its own boundary maps. We link the official lists and you check the district's map for the exact address. We do not rate schools.

What do I need to do after I move to Utah?

New residents set up a Utah driver licence, vehicle registration and utilities. Our Moving to Utah guide links the state's own pages for each.

Relocating to Utah: Buying a Home From Out of State

Buying a Utah home from out of state works best with an agent who can be your eyes on the ground: live video tours, drive times from each home to your work, a short trip planned around the homes worth seeing, and every signature handled online. That is how we help people relocating to Utah.

How it works

What we do, step by step.

A call before anything else
Your work address, your budget, your timing and what the home needs to have, so we only show you homes that fit.
Areas by drive time
We map homes by real drive time to your job or campus, using our Moving to Utah guide and each area's page.
Tours from wherever you are
Live video walk-throughs of the homes you pick, with the questions you would ask if you were there.
A trip that counts
If you can come out, we plan a day or two around the best homes and the areas you want to see.
Buying from a distance
Offers, inspections and closing handled with online signing wherever the title company allows it, and an update to you at every step.

What you get.

One honest caution

Buying a home you have only seen on video is a real risk. Plan an inspection, ask for a second video walk-through of anything you are unsure about, and if at all possible see the home in person before the due diligence deadline in your contract.
