Escaping The High-Tax West Coast For A Better Life | Taylor Mason

EP. 269: Join my NEW community for Gen X women: ⁠https://www.skool.com/drtyna/about⁠ Moving was one of the biggest decisions I've ever made, and honestly, one of the best. In this episode, I'm sitting down with my real estate agent, Taylor Mason, to pull back the curtain on what it actually looked like to leave Oregon, buy my first home, and build a life that feels aligned with my health, values, and future. We talk about what I learned as a first-time homebuyer, the mistakes people make when purchasing a home, why having the right team matters, and what you should be thinking about beyond just the listing price. Topics Discussed: → Is Arizona a good place to move from California? → What should first-time homebuyers know? → How do you choose a good real estate agent? → Is Arizona cheaper than California? → What should you look for before buying a house?
