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. 9 realtors on the Allen service roster hold licenses we checked in October 2026; 7 are ranked here. One fact stated up front: no Allen 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 Allen 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 Allen realtor ranking that prints the license number and check date behind every name.

How this ranking works
Most “best realtors in Allen” 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 Allen; (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.
Allen, in numbers
- Population and housing: Allen counted an estimated 113,447 people on July 1, 2025, up 8.4% from 104,627 at the April 1, 2020 Census (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, Allen city, Texas, V2025). Median value of owner-occupied housing units, 2020-2024: $464,100; owner-occupied rate 69.4%; median household income $130,901; 37,243 households.
- Schools: three districts serve addresses inside the Allen city limits. Allen ISD covers most of the city and earned an A in the Texas Education Agency’s 2025 accountability ratings; Plano ISD serves a southwestern portion and earned a B; Lovejoy ISD serves a northern portion (its TEA 2025 letter is not carried in the Registry’s fact build). District boundaries do not follow city limits — verify the district and campuses for a specific address with the applicable district or the Collin Central Appraisal District.
- Taxes: no single consolidated rate exists for Allen — the total depends on the parcel’s school district. Worked example, tax year 2026, for a Collin County parcel in Allen ISD: Allen ISD $1.1037 (M&O $0.7137 + I&S $0.3900) + City of Allen $0.4147 + Collin County $0.151414 + Collin College $0.081220 = $1.751034 per $100 of taxable value, with no MUD. Parcels in the Plano ISD portion substitute Plano ISD’s $1.032750; parcels in the Lovejoy ISD portion substitute $1.237300 per the Collin County Tax Assessor’s 2026 summary table (that total is carried with its rate split unsourced). Public improvement districts bill per-parcel assessments and are never blended into a citywide rate — confirm the entities and rates for a specific parcel with the Collin Central Appraisal District.
- A three-district city: the school component of the Allen tax stack — Allen ISD $1.103700, Plano ISD $1.032750, or Lovejoy ISD $1.237300 per the Collin County Tax Assessor’s 2026 summary table — and every school claim in listing copy change by address inside the same city limits, so both must be built from the parcel’s actual district, never a city average.
- On this Registry: 9 realtors serving Allen hold licenses read at the authority in October 2026; the realtor seat is unclaimed.

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 Allen 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 Allen homebuyer know about local taxes and schools?
Three districts serve Allen addresses: Allen ISD covers most of the city and earned an A in TEA’s 2025 ratings, Plano ISD (B in 2025) serves a southwestern portion, and Lovejoy ISD serves a northern portion — verify the district for a specific address with the district or the Collin Central Appraisal District. For tax year 2026, a Collin County home in Allen ISD stacks to $1.751034 per $100 of taxable value (Allen ISD $1.1037 + City of Allen $0.4147 + Collin County $0.151414 + Collin College $0.081220) with no MUD; addresses in the Plano ISD or Lovejoy ISD portions substitute that district’s rate ($1.032750 for Plano ISD; $1.237300 total for Lovejoy ISD per the county’s 2026 summary, with its split unsourced) — confirm a specific parcel with the Collin Central Appraisal District.
