McKinney
Highlights
From historic, artistic and nature-based attraction to a local arts scene, McKinney offers a surprising amount of culture for its tucked away location as a far suburb of the Dallas metroplex. Located just 30 miles north of Dallas, McKinney’s gently rolling hills, tree-lined neighborhoods and beautiful parks give the city a quaint, small town feel — quite different from the Dallas metroplex’s urban neighborhoods. With a small, homey Southern charm all its own, McKinney offers a hotbed for growing industry and tech jobs, as well as offering a unique offering of house types — from Victorian era houses to McMansions and everything in between. When you buy a home in McKinney, you can find the world of your own without losing any of that Texan charm!

We hold your hand through all the complicated steps of the homebuying process from house hunting to financing to closing and beyond. We’ll help you select a quality home with good resale potential. We’ll help you choose a lender and ensure they don’t pay too much. We’ll help you interpret inspection reports and negotiate repairs, and we’ll be there with you at closing and possession to make sure all the terms of the contract are satisfied.
Don’t be fooled by real estate agents who claim to be McKinney buyer’s agents but work for dual agency brokers like Keller or Re/Max. Only an Exclusive Buyer’s Agent works for buyers 100% of the time so there is NO conflict of interest to jeopardize your negotiating position.
In a real estate transaction, the buyer assumes all of the risk. The seller walks away from the property, usually with some money in their pocket. It’s the buyer that pays for inspections, appraisals, and mortgage fees, and ends up with the house and a mortgage. It absolutely matters who represents you! See what HelpUBuy America can do for you!
