PARAGON

Home to Tesla, Apple, Google, Meta, Oracle, and thousands of startups. Austin consistently ranks as America's fastest-growing tech hub with unemployment well below the national average.
Texas has no state income tax, meaning your paycheck goes further. Combined with a cost of living below coastal cities, Austin offers exceptional financial upside.
300+ days of sunshine, the Barton Creek Greenbelt, Lady Bird Lake, and Hill Country trails at your doorstep. Austin is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise year-round.
The Live Music Capital of the World, with SXSW, ACL, F1, world-class dining, and a creative energy that's unlike anywhere else in Texas.
Can't visit in person? We conduct live virtual tours via FaceTime or Zoom, walking through homes in real time so you can ask questions, see details, and make confident decisions from anywhere.
Based on your lifestyle, commute, budget, and family needs, we curate a shortlist of neighborhoods that align with what matters most. Not just listings — communities.

Yes. Paragon represents relocation clients moving to Austin from anywhere in the United States, with a structured intake that covers timeline, employment situation, school priorities, and target submarkets before any properties are toured. For clients selling a home in their origin state, Joseph holds a Minnesota referral license to coordinate with vetted agents in other states.
Paragon serves seven Central Texas counties for relocation clients: Travis, Williamson, Hays, Burnet, Blanco, Comal, and Llano. This covers central Austin, Westlake, Lakeway, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Dripping Springs, Georgetown, Buda, Kyle, the Hill Country wine corridor, and the lakeshore communities.
Frequently considered districts include Eanes ISD (Westlake, Bee Cave), Lake Travis ISD, Round Rock ISD, Leander ISD, Dripping Springs ISD, and Georgetown ISD. Austin ISD ratings vary materially by attendance zone. Texas Education Agency ratings and current campus information are published at txschools.gov; Paragon shares zone-specific data during the area-selection phase rather than relying on stale rankings.
No. Texas does not levy a state personal income tax per the Texas Comptroller, which is a meaningful consideration for relocating households. Property tax rates and homestead exemptions vary by county and ISD; Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties publish current rates and exemption rules through their county appraisal districts. Paragon provides current local rate data during the offer phase.
Joseph holds a Minnesota Salesperson license (#41018733) used solely for referral coordination — not direct representation outside Texas. For clients selling a home in any other state, Paragon refers to a vetted agent in that market and coordinates timing, contingencies, and proceeds with the destination Texas purchase. Referral fees, when applicable, are disclosed in writing.
