Grant’s direct answer
Grant encourages the employee to start neighborhood and apartment planning as soon as the offer is accepted, even months ahead. Around 90 days before move-in, the property shortlist and pricing research can become serious. Around 70 days, when target communities are showing more relevant availability, HomeBase can schedule a focused tour and help the renter compare written quotes. When practical, Grant likes the employee to move to Dallas two to four weeks before the first day at AT&T so the relocation is largely finished before work begins.
