ARCHITECTURE Boerne’s European beginnings are ev ident in the old stone buildings with narrow windows, steep gables, outside stairways and gardens. Today, many of the historic structures still remain along the Hill Country Mile (Main St.). Others have been lovingly restored to their architectural pasts with beloved heritage buildings now taking on new lives as art galleries, bou tiques, breweries, bistros, bakeries, and specialty stores.

HISTORY The area—originally called Tuscu lum-- was first settled in 1849 by a group of German immigrants who brought their language, customs, and music with them. Though that initial settlement attempt was short-lived, the area would be successfully set tled three years later by Gustav The issen and John James who surveyed and laid out the town’s site and re named it Boerne. The name was a nod to Karl Ludwig Börne, the nom de plume of a German journalist and political activist who inspired many young Germans to leave their home land and travel to the new world. Today, the customs and music can still be found in the music and Ger heritageman- events that take place. A beloved, historic gem can be found right inside the front entrance of the Patrick Heath Public Library. Boerne is home to a rare, illustrated 1614 Low German Bible, one of only 6 known in the world in Martin Luther’s High Ger man translation. The big mystery is how the centuries-old Bible made its way to Boerne. Displayed and preserved under glass, it can be viewed during regular library hours.
The Hill Country Mile and River Road dis tricts are lined with an abundant array of independent shops whose offerings include antiques, home décor and furnishings, clothing and accessories, jewelry, gourmet

How can a transferee decide on their preferred area without knowing the city or surrounding area? I try to give transferees a vocal tour of the area where their new office is located. We discuss traffic patterns, school districts, and any other ques tions regarding their move. I suggest a tour to help them get a feel for the area where they will be working. If time does not permit, I suggest that the assigned agent spends time going over a map before they leave the office so the transferee will have an idea about the infrastructure and layout of the area where they are moving.
With San Antonio ranking as one of the top 10 largest cities in the U.S. and still growing, there are many near by communities that help support its growth. One of the most popular is Kendall County, where there is cur rently an influx of families looking to relocate to the area.
6 Fall 2022 Relocation & Newcomers’ Guide
While a strong job market and a sur plus of people to serve is enticing to individuals and families, relocating is not always as simple as a “quick move”—but fortunately, there are many fantastic local resources, includ ing relocation experts, to help trans ferees make their move as smooth as Onepossible.leading
Advice from an Expert
relocation expert in the area is Phyllis Browning Company’s Relocation Director, Robin Morris, who provided the following insight regarding her experience in relocating professionals to the area: Q&A Transferees are often concerned with the disruption a move will have on their families. What do you do to help set them at ease? I start by asking about the move, who will be relocating (children, spouse, etc.) and what is the most important part of their move (schools, area, price point, etc.). It is imperative to listen to what the transferees are saying during the initial conversation. If children are involved in the move, there may be an extra-curricular activity or specif ic need that will have to be filled. I have personally moved 13 times with my family and with that many reloca tions, I have become a personal expert as well as a professional one when it comes to making sure my children are excited about the move, as well.
CountyKendalltoRelocating
How does a transferee find out what is covered by their employer regard ing relocation services? They need to discuss with their em ployer/counselor what will be covered so they understand what is expected on both ends because surprises are never good. Every transferee’s move is different; therefore, they need to discuss and understand their package before they start the process. How should one begin the process of looking for a new home if they are unsure of the cost-of-living difference and they do not know what they can afford? Before you start looking at homes, it is best to speak with a mortgage lend er to help you better understand what you can afford at your new location. There are also internet tools such as CNN’s and Best Places’ cost-of-living calculators. These sites will give you basic financial information after com paring your current location and your new location. Another resource is your moving counselor or new human resource department. I also advise to seek out employees that may have moved in a similar situation, as they can share their experiences.

PRIORITIZING MOST WANTED FEATURES
Now that you know the type of home and fea tures you are looking for and how much home you can afford, you’re ready to begin searching for your perfect home. Whether you use a Re altor to find an existing home or work with a builder to build a new home, you’ll be more focused with your search.
The first step in the home-buying process is determining how much you can afford. To ensure that the financing process goes smoothly, buyers should consider pre-qual ifying for a mortgage and having a financing commitment in place before shopping for a new home.
PREFERENCESYOURIDENTIFY
Fall 2022 Relocation & Newcomers’ Guide 7
FIRST Pay close attention to details so you find the home that will suit your preferences. Sit down with the members of your household to discuss your preferences and avail able options.
Shopping for a new home is exciting, but can also cause some anxiety.
Another option is a home in a multi-unit com plex, such as a townhouse cluster. If you own the home, you and your neighbors likely own the common elements such as the land around the complex, the parking areas, building ex teriors, hallways, utility pipes and recreation al facilities. An owners association is usually responsible for maintaining the jointly owned elements. The day-to-day business of the com plex is often handled by a management com pany.
STARTING YOUR HOUSE HUNT
An easy way to organize your thoughts is to write each separate feature that you want on an index card and arrange the cards in order of importance. If you like to cook, you may want a home with a large, well-equipped kitchen. Or you may settle for a small kitchen so that you can have extra space for a library, office or playroom. Some home buyers seek large open interior spaces while others prefer traditional rooms that afford more privacy. If you plan to add rooms find out if there is enough space on your site for expansion and whether additions are permitted.

Loans are subject to basic government regula Generally,tion. your lender must document and veri fy your income, employment, assets, debts, and credit history to determine whether you can af ford to repay the loan.
Your monthly payments are more likely to be stable with a fixed-rate loan, so you might prefer this option if you value certainty about your loan costs over the long term.
INTEREST RATE TYPE
Understanding home loan options
10 Fall 2022 Relocation & Newcomers’ Guide
Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) offer less predictability but may be cheaper in the short term. Your interest rate changes based on the market. Most ARMs have two periods. During the first period, your interest rate is fixed and won’t change. Then, your rate goes up and down based on market changes. Most ARMs have a 30-year loan term.
Interest rates come in two basic types: fixed and adjustable. This choice affects whether your interest rate can change, if your monthly pay ment can change and its amount, and how much interest you will pay over the life of the loan.
Not all home loans are the same so understand how your choices af fect your monthly payment, overall costs both upfront and over time, and level of risk.
Mortgage loans are organized into categories based on the size of the loan and whether they are part of a government program. This choice affects how much you will need for a down payment, the total cost of your loan, in cluding interest and mortgage insurance, how much you can borrow, and the house price range you can consider.
The term is how long you have to repay the loan. This affects your monthly principal and interest pay ment, interest rate, and how much interest you will pay.

“An insurance agent should help you evaluate your needs and op tions“ said Michael Glick of the independent Michael Glick In surance Agency in Boerne. This is especially important when it comes to your home.
The rising cost of goods means the rising cost of replacing your home in case of a major loss is rising too. ”It’s important to have the numbers cor rect,” Glick said.

You can choose an independent agent or a di rect agent. A direct agent sells insurance for one company. An independent agent may sell policies from different companies. Your agent should evaluate your needs to make sure you are getting the proper coverage. “When it comes to homeowners insurance there is no standard policy anymore,” said Glick. “Knowing what you have and how to properly cover it is important. I personally inspect every property to make sure it meets the underwriting “Asguidelines.”partof the initial process of a policy review, I try to get to know my customers by finding their inter ests, long term goals and retirement plans,” Glick said. “This information helps me determine the liability lim its needed to protest their assets. Then we go over the features of their home to determine the replacement value so that in a major loss there is enough coverage to replace it.”
“Having someone explain the cov erages helps the consumer make smart choices. It could save them money by not buying something they don’t need, or buying coverage that won’t do what they were hop ing it would do.”
