Allen sits in the middle of our daily footprint, minutes from our McKinney office, with neighborhoods we walk regularly. Since 2019, the McDonald Group has helped buyers and sellers across DFW and North Texas, brokered by Fathom Realty, with our office in McKinney.
Already have your buyer, or just need a licensed pro to carry the deal from contract to close? This is the lean option.
Full MLS exposure managed remotely. You take the photos and handle access, we run everything else.
The works. We make the home look its best, market it everywhere, and stay hands-on through closing.
Every tier, including Transaction Only, comes with a licensed Texas agent's full statutory duties: we present every offer, answer your questions, and keep you informed of material information throughout the sale.
Commissions and fees are not set by law and are fully negotiable. The fees above are The McDonald Group's standard listing tiers; final terms are set in your written listing agreement. Buyer's agent compensation, if any, is separate and discussed before you list.
First home, upgrade, or investment, we guide Allen buyers through search, offer strategy, financing connections, and closing. Browse North Texas listings or reach out below and tell us what you're looking for.

Corridors, build era, and taxing boundaries shape what you can buy in Allen and what it costs to hold.
US 75 bisects Allen, and the Sam Rayburn Tollway runs along its western edge about 20 miles north of Dallas. The Houston and Texas Central Railway founded the town in 1872, but most of the housing stock was built from the 1980s through the 2000s. Eagle Stadium, the Credit Union of Texas Event Center, and the Watters Creek mixed-use district are the landmarks here. Ringed by Plano, McKinney, Fairview, Lucas, and Parker, Allen has little room to expand, and addresses fall in Allen, Lovejoy, McKinney, or Plano ISD.
Allen sits in Collin County, where the combined property tax rate runs about 1.70 percent of market value for the 2025 tax year, ranging 1.55 to 2.30 percent depending on the school district. On a $350,000 home with a homestead exemption that works out to roughly $377 a month. The Texas homestead exemption reduces only the school district portion, not the county or city portion, which is the detail most online estimates miss.
Taxes and insurance are a large share of a monthly payment in Texas, so a national mortgage estimate will understate what a Allen home actually costs to hold.
