Serving all of Dallas-Fort Worth, with a focus on eastern DFW
I'm Lorene Viquez, a bilingual REALTOR® with Make Your Move Group at Coldwell Banker Realty. I help buyers and sellers anywhere in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, in English y en Español. Wherever you're moving in DFW, I can help you buy, sell or lease.
Most of my business is in eastern DFW, where I know the neighborhoods, schools, builders and prices best: Rockwall, Heath, Royse City, Fate, Rowlett, Garland, Mesquite and East Dallas. With 23 years in DFW real estate, I can tell you what each community offers and help you compare them side by side. Choose a community below for local market stats, neighborhoods, schools and FAQs.

Moving somewhere else in DFW? I help buyers and sellers across the whole Dallas-Fort Worth area, including Dallas, Plano, Allen, Wylie, Sachse, Forney, Sunnyvale and more. Call or text me at 972-343-8380 and tell me what matters most to you.
In eastern DFW, city lines and school district lines don't always match. Rockwall and Heath are mostly in Rockwall ISD, Royse City has its own district, and parts of Garland, Mesquite and Dallas are served by neighboring districts.
Tax rates also change from one address to the next, and many newer communities carry a MUD or PID that adds to the yearly tax bill.
Before you write an offer, I'll help you confirm the school district, the total tax rate and any HOA, MUD or PID fees for every home you consider. Each community page has the details for that city.
