Real estate agents in Round Rock

Round Rock lies mainly in Williamson County and extends into Travis County. Homes in the Williamson part are appraised by the Williamson Central Appraisal District, 625 FM 1460 in Georgetown (512-930-3787), which offers online protest filing. Homes in the Travis part use the Travis Central Appraisal District.

Texas has no state property tax; appraisal districts value property as of January 1 each year, and local units set the rates. Homestead exemptions are applied for at the appraisal district, generally before May 1. School districts must give a $140,000 residence homestead exemption, plus $60,000 more for owners 65 or older or disabled, under amendments effective November 4, 2025. A protest is generally due by May 15 or 30 days after the notice, whichever is later. Confirm these rules with a tax adviser or the district before you rely on them.

Texas appraisal districts describe the state as non-disclosure: sale prices aren't reported to them. Ask your agent for comparable sales, and expect them to come from the agent's own data.

Anyone acting as a real estate broker or sales agent in Texas needs a TREC license, and a sales agent must act for a licensed broker, who is responsible for the agent's work. TREC's License Holder Lookup shows whether a license is active, any discipline, education and the sponsoring broker.

• Since January 1, 2026, an agent working for a buyer must sign a written agreement with the buyer before showing a home, stating the broker's pay and that compensation is not set by law and is fully negotiable.
• A broker can instead show a home under a non-exclusive showing agreement of no more than 14 days.
• At the first substantive talk about a property, you should get the Information About Brokerage Services notice; the current form is IABS 1-2, effective January 1, 2026.

TREC does not regulate commissions. Complaints are filed in writing through its REALM Portal within four years of the incident. Confirm contract questions with a licensed broker or real estate attorney.

Agents must use TREC's promulgated forms. The most used is the One to Four Family Residential Contract (Resale), form 20-19, effective July 1, 2026. Under it, the buyer delivers earnest money and the option fee to the escrow agent within 3 days of the effective date. If you end the deal within the option period, the option fee is kept but the earnest money comes back. Sellers must give a written Seller's Disclosure Notice on or before the effective date.

For a statewide benchmark, the Texas Real Estate Research Center put the July 2026 median sale price at $339,000, unchanged from a year earlier.
