The short answer: As of October 29, 2026, Neighborhood Registry has read the license record of every realtor ranked below at Texas Real Estate Commission and found each license Active. 7 realtors on the Southlake service roster hold licenses we checked in October 2026; 7 are ranked here. One fact stated up front: no Southlake realtor has claimed a Registry profile yet, so every name below sits in the License-Checked tier — licenses verified at the authority, profiles not yet maintained by the pros. The first Southlake realtor to claim and verify a profile takes the top tier in the next edition, under the same published rules. Until then, this page is the only Southlake realtor ranking that prints the license number and check date behind every name.

How this ranking works
Most “best realtors in Southlake” lists are assembled from advertising placements and review counts copied from other websites. This ranking is assembled from exactly one thing: the license record at the issuing authority, read directly by Neighborhood Registry.
- Eligibility. A realtor is eligible only if we have read their record in the authority’s own system and found the license Active. No one can pay to be listed, apply for a rank, or be added by request.
- Tier A — Verified & Claimed. The license is verified at the authority and the pro has claimed their Registry profile, confirmed their details, and maintains it. Tier A always ranks above Tier B.
- Tier B — License-Checked. We have read the license at the authority and found it Active, but the pro has not yet claimed their profile.
- Order inside a tier is mechanical and published: (1) neighborhood seats held in Southlake; (2) most recent authority check; (3) time on the Registry (first-verified date); (4) alphabetical. Every input to every score is printed in the entries above.
- Freshness. Licenses are re-checked weekly and formally re-verified every 12 months. A license that lapses or is suspended removes the pro from this ranking at the next re-check — not at the next edition. This page is re-issued monthly; this is the October 2026 edition, built from checks dated October 2026.
Full method: How We Verify — Every check is written to the public verification ledger.
How to verify a Texas realtor’s license
Use the Texas Real Estate Commission’s free License Holder Search at trec.texas.gov: search by name or license number and confirm the status reads Active. A Texas sales agent license number ends in -SA and a broker license in -BK; the sponsoring broker must also be Active for the agent to practice.
Southlake, in numbers
- Population and housing (Southlake city): Southlake counted 31,265 people in the 2020 Census, with a population estimate of 31,175 on July 1, 2025 — essentially flat (-0.3%), a mature, built-out suburb’s profile — and the median value of owner-occupied housing units was $1,014,500 in 2020-2024, with an owner-occupied rate of 94.6% (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, Southlake city, Texas, V2025). Median household income was $250,000+ (QuickFacts top-coded value, printed as published).
- Schools: Carroll ISD serves most of Southlake and rated A (95) in the Texas Education Agency’s 2025 accountability ratings, with all 11 of its campuses rated A. Small portions of the city fall in Grapevine-Colleyville ISD (B) on the eastern side and Keller ISD (B) on the western edge, so a single-district claim for every Southlake address is false. Verify the district for a specific address with the district or on TEA’s TXschools.gov.
- Taxes: the worked example is tax year 2026: a Tarrant County parcel inside city limits, in Carroll ISD, stacks Tarrant County $0.186000 + Tarrant County College $0.120000 + Tarrant County Hospital District (JPS Health Network) $0.159000 + City of Southlake $0.290000 + Carroll ISD $0.926900 = $1.681900 per $100, before any special district (Tarrant County Tax Office Truth-in-Taxation summary, TY2026). Note the rate trap: the $0.295 printed in the city’s FY2026 budget book is the TY2025 city rate, not TY2026 — the TY2026 city rate is $0.290000. Boundary-limited districts such as the Tarrant Regional Water District ($0.027300) are not in the worked example. Confirm a specific parcel with the Tarrant Appraisal District.
- Schools are the listing fact (realtors): Carroll ISD’s A (95) with all 11 campuses rated A headlines most Southlake listings, and the edge districts are the trap — the same county-and-city stack totals $1.623600 per $100 in Grapevine-Colleyville ISD and $1.840200 per $100 in Keller ISD, a $0.158300-per-$100 spread worth about $554.05 a year on $350,000 of taxable value, so district-by-address verification via the Tarrant Appraisal District or TXschools.gov is the listing standard here.
- On this Registry: 7 realtors serving Southlake hold licenses read at the authority in October 2026; the realtor seat is unclaimed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the best license-verified realtor in Southlake, Texas?
As of October 29, 2026, Neighborhood Registry has license-checked 7 realtors serving Southlake at Texas Real Estate Commission, all Active. The top-ranked are Cynthia Jean Allen (TREC #401593-SA), Barbara Nell Pantuso (TREC #327439-SA), Gary Wayne Price (TREC #344599-SA). No Southlake realtor has claimed a Registry profile yet, so all are ranked in the License-Checked tier under a published methodology.
How do I verify a Texas realtor’s license?
Use the Texas Real Estate Commission’s free License Holder Search at trec.texas.gov: search by name or license number and confirm the status reads Active. A Texas sales agent license number ends in -SA and a broker license in -BK; the sponsoring broker must also be Active for the agent to practice. Neighborhood Registry reads the same record and writes every check to its public verification ledger.
What does a buyer need in writing from a Southlake realtor in 2026?
Since the August 2024 NAR settlement practice changes, a buyer working with an agent signs a written buyer agreement before touring homes, and compensation is negotiable and stated in that agreement — it is not set by law or by any multiple listing service. Every realtor on this page holds a TREC license Neighborhood Registry read and found Active in October 2026; the agreement conversation is separate from the license check, and both belong before the first tour.
What should a Southlake homebuyer know about local taxes and schools?
Carroll ISD serves most of Southlake and rated A (95) in TEA’s 2025 ratings with all 11 campuses rated A, but small portions of the city fall in Grapevine-Colleyville ISD (B) and Keller ISD (B), so verify the district for a specific address with the district or on TEA’s TXschools.gov. For tax year 2026, a Tarrant County home inside city limits in Carroll ISD stacks $1.681900 per $100 before any special district; the same stack totals $1.623600 in Grapevine-Colleyville ISD and $1.840200 in Keller ISD, and the $0.295 in the city’s FY2026 budget book is the TY2025 city rate, not TY2026. Confirm the parcel’s actual entity list with the Tarrant Appraisal District.
