Realtors in Highland Park

A buyer's agent showing you a Highland Park home needs your signed written agreement first, a rule in effect since January 1, 2026, and that agreement must say compensation isn't set by law and is fully negotiable. TREC doesn't regulate commissions. Sellers of a single-dwelling home must give a written Seller's Disclosure Notice on or before the contract's effective date. The Town issues its own building permits, so ask the seller for Town permit records on any remodel. Confirm contract and tax questions with a licensed Texas broker or tax adviser.

Search the agent's name in TREC's License Holder Lookup to see whether the license is active, any disciplinary action and, for a sales agent, the sponsoring broker. After closing, file a homestead exemption with DCAD, which is free. The Texas real estate guide covers contracts, the Highland Park page covers Town services, and Dallas real estate agents explains protests and exemptions in more depth.
