Hi, I'm Tom.
Tom Fior. I help buyers and sellers navigate Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs with a simple approach: clear guidance, honest answers, and no unnecessary pressure.
I grew up in Delaware County and live in Philadelphia, so City to Suburbs isn't just a brand — it's the market I know personally. Whether you're comparing neighborhoods, moving out of the city, relocating to the area, or trying to figure out where you fit best, I'm here to help you make sense of your options.
Helping buyers and sellers compare Montgomery County communities with Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs.
Guidance First. Pressure Never.
What Should Buyers Know About Buying a Home in Montgomery County?
Montgomery County buyers should confirm the municipality and school district for the specific address rather than the postal city, because both drive the tax bill and both can change within a single mailing address. Housing ranges widely by area, so the useful comparison is municipality by municipality.
Property taxes
A tax bill generally combines county, municipal and school district taxes applied to the county assessment for that property.
Municipal differences
Permits, inspections and local rules are set by each borough or township.
What Should Homeowners Know About Selling in Montgomery County?
Sellers should price against the buyers shopping their specific municipality and price point, and confirm any local resale or permit requirements before going on the market.
