Devon Energy. Expand Energy. Your Move Is Now.

Two of Oklahoma City's largest energy employers are bringing their headquarters to Houston — and thousands of professionals are making the move with them. If you're one of them, you need a team that understands both the market and the urgency.

Devon Energy / Coterra Merger (Closed May 2026)

Devon Energy and Coterra Energy completed their $58 billion all-stock merger in May 2026, consolidating headquarters in Houston — Coterra's home city. While most OKC operational staff remain in place, key leadership, executive, and corporate roles are transitioning south. Employees who want to keep their careers are making real estate decisions right now. The Devon Energy relocation to Houston window is open and active through fall 2026.

Expand Energy (formerly Chesapeake Energy)

One week after Devon's announcement, Expand Energy confirmed it is relocating its executive headquarters from Oklahoma City to Spring, TX (a Houston suburb) by mid-2026. Approximately 450 OKC-based employees are in the decision zone — some following leadership to Houston, others staying in OKC. If you're one of them, you need answers before you decide.

Joseph Diosana and The Property Joes Group specialize in the Energy Corridor, Memorial, Katy, and Sugar Land neighborhoods — the areas where energy professionals land. We know the schools, the commutes, the HOAs, and the home values block by block.

Katy

Master-planned communities with top-ranked schools, family-friendly amenities, and newer construction. Excellent value for families who want space and strong school districts.

Sugar Land

$350K – $700K

Diverse and welcoming with Fort Bend ISD schools. Just 20 minutes to the Energy Corridor. Town center lifestyle with restaurants, shopping, and parks all walkable.
