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

How this ranking works
Most “best realtors in Fort Worth” 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 Fort Worth; (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.
Fort Worth, in numbers
- Population: 1,028,117 on July 1, 2025 — Fort Worth has passed one million residents, up 11.9% from 918,915 at the April 1, 2020 Census (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts V2025). Median value of owner-occupied homes: $303,000 (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, 2020-2024).
- Schools: no single district serves Fort Worth. Fort Worth ISD, the largest, earned a C (73) in TEA’s 2025 accountability ratings; Keller ISD earned a B and Birdville ISD a C, and Arlington, Crowley, and White Settlement ISDs (all C) also serve city addresses. Verify the district for a specific address with the district or on TEA’s TXschools.gov.
- Taxes (Tax Year 2026): a city-limits parcel in Tarrant County in Fort Worth ISD stacks Tarrant County $0.186000 + Tarrant County Hospital District (JPS) $0.159000 + Tarrant County College $0.120000 + City of Fort Worth $0.705650 + Fort Worth ISD $1.029099 = $2.199749 per $100 of taxable value, before any special district (Tarrant County Tax Office Truth-in-Taxation summary, TY2026; the JPS rate is from the hospital district’s own TY2026 notice, which the county table omits). The Tarrant Regional Water District’s $0.027300 applies only inside its taxing boundary and is not in that total; the same stack in Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD totals $2.456350 per $100. Confirm the entities and rates for a specific parcel with the Tarrant Appraisal District.
- On this Registry: 33 realtors serving Fort Worth 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 Fort Worth, Texas?
As of October 29, 2026, Neighborhood Registry has license-checked 33 realtors serving Fort Worth at Texas Real Estate Commission, all Active. The top-ranked are Barbara Ann Boyett (TREC #348756-SA), Bessie Greenway Dodson (TREC #339109-SA), Carolyn Gayle Earnest (TREC #338338-SA). No Fort Worth 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 Fort Worth 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 Fort Worth homebuyer know about local taxes and schools?
Fort Worth has no single school district or tax rate. Fort Worth ISD, the largest district, earned a C (73) in TEA’s 2025 ratings, while Keller ISD earned a B and Birdville ISD a C — verify the district for a specific address on TEA’s TXschools.gov. For Tax Year 2026, a city-limits parcel in Tarrant County in Fort Worth ISD stacks to $2.199749 per $100 of taxable value, before any special district, and the school component alone can change that total — an Eagle Mountain-Saginaw ISD parcel stacks to $2.456350 per $100 — so confirm a specific parcel with the Tarrant Appraisal District.
