Moving from Texas to Minnesota - A life of regret? or not? #minneapolis #minnesota #realestate

Do you want to move from Texas to Minnesota? Or ANY warmer climate to Minnesota? In this interview with a client that I recently helped move to Minnesota from Austin Texas. She's going to tell you about the things they thought were challenging, her impression of one of the worst winters we've had (her first in MN!) and if they were able to find what they were hoping for here in the Twin Cities or if they are living a life of regret. I ask what things were surprising and if the stereotypes of Minnesota and Minnesotans are accurate.

I help a lot of people move to Minnesota from out of state or around the world. If it were me, I'd want to hear about their first hand experience and what was easy/difficult/surprising about making that move - if you're like me, you're in luck! This is part of a series of interviews with people that did move to Minnesota and what their experience was like.

I really enjoy these interviews with actual people who have moved to MN and how they freely give honest opinions and advice.

Love the video! I'm considering a move from Austin, TX to Minnesota and HEB is one of the perks I'd miss the most.

[SommerCrushT]

Love the video and insight from one of your clients 😊 Thank you for the great information 😊

Thanks for interviewing me Mary! I wanted to add that the whole Austin area did have more than just our family and friends, and is an amazing place in it's own right. It was just time for us to move on and we are thrilled that we are here now! Thanks soooo much!

Susanna Texas(Lady) expression can meet the people who have challenges making the decision to leave their state for Minnesota, even though the decision that Susanna made is very difficult, because Texas is much cheaper than Minnesota in terms of taxes, and also in terms of weather too !! Minnesota's winter is very harsh, spring and summer is heaven on earth, as well as its fall. I am from Kuwait, the atmosphere of Kuwait is very close to Texas and Arizona, I lived in Minnesota during my studies for 4 years and I still frequent Minnesota to this day as a tourist and I will be honest with you that I adore Minnesota and its good, tolerant and good people, but winter was a challenge for me, but I prepared it for it with The passing of the years. It is no secret that I am thinking of buying an apartment or townhouse in Minnesota to sit in during the holidays for recreation and rest. Thank you Mary Schumann for this beautiful and exciting interview with Mrs. Al- Susana. Greetings to all of you. I wish you a beautiful and enjoyable summer. Youssef from Kuwait

Man this video speaks to me haha! We're from San Antonio and we absolutely cannot wait to move up to the Minneapolis area next summer. Texas has two things BIG things I look forward to leaving behind: year round boiling temperatures and conservative politics. We LOVE IT up in Minneapolis (dont'cha know?)!

[Madashelle]

I bet you don't miss roasting all summer long. Austin has been 100 and over for the last few weeks!

I am actually moving to my new place in Minneapolis this January. So, apparently the universe made this pop up in my algorithm for a reason 😂.
I am relocating from Houston, TX to Minnesota.
I have always wanted to lesve Texas ever since i was a teenager. So i zeroed in on everything I'd want in a new destination and Minnesota ticked all of my boxes.
This is my first big move and will be my last one. So i am expecting to love my new home 😊.

I am looking forward to the big winters. I want to see the seasons change. I cannot take the regular occuring natural disasters that are ubiquitous in Houston anymore.

You mentioned authentic Mexican food...my husband is from Texas and is feeling really sad about the state of authentic Mexican food since we moved here last summer. We live in the Southwest Metro, but I'm guessing that we need to get into the city more often. Please share your Mexican food recommendations. And Tex-Mex related, what's with the fajitas here? They're not like anything we've ever seen before :)

Hello I moved from California to Dallas and I hate it so much!! We moved 2 months ago to Austin and I don’t like it at all . We have commercial properties in Minnesota and I have been talking to my husband to move to Minnesota. I would love to connect with you 🙏 I am a realtor here in Austin

I feel like the video was made for me!!! I was born in Wisconsin but I’ve been in Texas for the last 15 years & I am debating about returning Midwest to Minnesota this time!! 🥶

I'm a Dallasite looking to move to MN in the next year. I cannot wait to move! I've lived all over, even overseas. Its time to move from here. Im more interested in finding the best city for us. Preferably away from big cities, mostly good neighborhoods where I could get away from the crime eceryone is warning me about with Minneapolis. I had looked at St. Paul but I want a safe neighborhood thats not close to downtown. Could you help me with that?

[AyBee]

I’m moving to St Paul from out of state for work soon, and one thing I’ve realized while watching various YouTube videos on moving to MN that you need to be careful about forming first impressions from the first few videos you see. YouTube seems to love promoting content that bashes on whatever the topic of the video is, and titles like “top 10 things I HATE these things about (insert whatever thing here)” seem to garner the most attention. I’m quite excited about my move- although the actual moving process sucks lol.

[yellowveil]

Great video! We agree with everything. Winters are great. Even ones where the Minnesotans are crying for mercy!

[rubygreby]

Are you enjoying the Minnesota state taxes? Do you miss having no state taxes in Texas?

[rubygreby]

It's interesting that she left Texas & moved to Minnesota for more progressive politics. Many are moving away from Minnesota & moving to Texas for the exact same reason: Minnesota has progressive politics., i.e. Ilhan Omar et al.

[rubygreby]

Go to Mexico for a week? Seriously? Ok -- drug cartels, gangs, fentynal, roadway kidnappings, et al.
