Realtors in Grand Prairie

Anyone acting as a broker or sales agent in Texas needs a TREC license, and a sales agent must work under a sponsoring broker who is responsible for their work. Look up a Grand Prairie agent on TREC's License Holder Lookup to see license status, any discipline, completed education and the sponsoring broker.

• At your first substantive talk about a specific property, the agent must give you TREC's Information About Brokerage Services notice; the current form is IABS 1-2, effective January 1, 2026.
• Since January 1, 2026, a buyer's agent needs a signed written agreement before showing you a home, stating the broker's pay and that compensation isn't set by law and is fully negotiable.
• A broker can show a home without representing you under a non-exclusive showing agreement of up to 14 days.
• TREC doesn't regulate commissions, and it can't release you from a buyer agreement; that's between you and the broker.

Complaints go to TREC in writing within four years, and can't be anonymous.

Texas agents must use TREC's promulgated forms. The resale contract, form 20-19, effective July 1, 2026, gives the buyer an option period: you pay an option fee for the unrestricted right to end the deal within the days you negotiate. Earnest money and the option fee go to the escrow agent within 3 days of the effective date. Terminate in time and you get the earnest money back, but not the option fee.

The seller of a single-family home must give you a written Seller's Disclosure Notice by the contract's effective date. If they don't, you can terminate for any reason within seven days of getting it. Texas is a non-disclosure state, so appraisal districts don't receive sale prices; your agent's comparables matter more for that reason.

The Dallas Central Appraisal District values the Dallas County part of the city and the Tarrant Appraisal District the Tarrant County part; for the Ellis County part, check the Ellis Appraisal District directly. Homestead exemptions are filed with the district for your county, generally before May 1, and under Tax Code amendments effective November 4, 2025, Texas school districts must exempt $140,000 of a homestead's value, plus $60,000 more for owners 65 or older or disabled. Confirm the current amounts with your appraisal district. Texas has no state property tax and no state income tax. Confirm tax and contract questions with a licensed broker or tax adviser.
