The short answer: As of October 28, 2026, Neighborhood Registry has read the license record of every realtor ranked below at Texas Real Estate Commission and found each license Active. 15 realtors on the McKinney service roster hold licenses we checked in October 2026; 7 are ranked here. One fact stated up front: no McKinney 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 McKinney 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 McKinney realtor ranking that prints the license number and check date behind every name.

How this ranking works
Most “best realtors in McKinney” 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 McKinney; (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.
McKinney, in numbers
- Population: 195,308 at the 2020 Census; an estimated 236,001 on July 1, 2025 — up 20.8% since 2020 (U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts V2025). Median value of owner-occupied homes: $471,800 (Census ACS 2020-2024). McKinney is the Collin County seat, on the US-75 corridor about 30 miles north of downtown Dallas.
- Schools: McKinney ISD earned a B (88) in TEA’s 2025 accountability ratings, up from 84 in 2024 (TEA via McKinney ISD). MISD adopted new attendance boundary maps on December 15, 2025, effective 2026-27 — verify zoning for a specific address with the district.
- Taxes inside Trinity Falls, the Registry’s McKinney seat: the community sits in McKinney MUD No. 1 and No. 2. The full 2025 stacks are $2.7318970 per $100 (MUD No. 1) and $2.7971470 (MUD No. 2), built from McKinney 0.4122840 + Collin County 0.1493430 + Collin College 0.0812200 + McKinney ISD 1.1043000 + the MUD rate (Collin CAD 2025 tax-rate table; Registry fact build, corrected October 2026). Which MUD covers a specific lot is a per-parcel question.
- On this Registry: 15 realtors serving McKinney 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 McKinney, Texas?
As of October 28, 2026, Neighborhood Registry has license-checked 15 realtors serving McKinney at Texas Real Estate Commission, all Active. The top-ranked are Helen Rattan Coleman (TREC #325023-SA), Henrietta Powell (TREC #319891-SA), Janith Boyd (TREC #332734-SA). No McKinney 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 McKinney 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 McKinney homebuyer know about local taxes and schools?
McKinney ISD earned a B (88) in TEA’s 2025 ratings and adopted new boundary maps effective 2026-27, so verify a specific address with the district. Inside Trinity Falls the full 2025 tax stack is $2.7318970 to $2.7971470 per $100 depending on the MUD — among the most consequential numbers in a McKinney new-build payment.
