Francesca, Our Local Expert Guiding Your Move
Francesca is a Texas native who somehow lived in five countries, four states, and 12 cities before admitting that no place does it quite like Texas. Her moving record is so long she stopped counting at 30, although the low point was definitely the time an airline flew her overseas but left her dog behind (it took some foreign dog treats, but he eventually forgave her). When she’s not devouring Tex-Mex, she’s in the yard gardening, in the kitchen baking, or in the garage rebuilding a motorcycle that definitely did not need another wrench taken to it. At Snappy Scout, all that wanderlust and Texas rootedness helps her guide newcomers in the right direction.
