Texas values its teachers — and it shows. From state-sponsored home loans to local closing credits, DFW educators have access to unique real-estate benefits. Here’s how to make your move smarter with Nitin Gupta, DFW’s trusted realtor for teachers and school employees.


The Texas Teacher Advantage

Texas remains one of the best states for educators looking to build wealth through homeownership. Between steady job growth and affordable housing, teachers are finding that buying a home is both attainable and strategic.


Benefits include:

  • No state income tax

  • Strong teacher retirement system (TRS)

  • Consistent job market across DFW ISDs

  • Stable property values in education-centric suburbs


Home Loan and Grant Programs for Teachers

Educators can take advantage of specialized programs to save thousands at closing.

Popular options:

  • Homes for Texas Heroes Program: State-backed down-payment assistance for teachers

  • Good Neighbor Next Door Program: Up to 50% discount on HUD-owned homes for qualified educators

  • Teacher Next Door Program: Lender partnerships with closing cost credits and reduced fees

Nitin Gupta can help you verify eligibility and connect you with approved lenders who specialize in teacher mortgages.


When Is the Best Time for Teachers to Buy?

Many educators prefer to move in summer when the school year ends. However, purchasing off-season (often January–March) can mean less competition and better pricing. Nitin Gupta builds a buying timeline around your teaching schedule to reduce stress and maximize your options.


A Community That Respects Teachers

From school districts that prioritize educator housing to local businesses offering teacher discounts, DFW communities truly value their educators. Your contribution to the classroom deserves a home that fits your lifestyle and future.
