Your Richardson Realtor

Licensed local Realtors serving Richardson, honest pricing guidance, professional marketing, and listing options that fit how much help you actually want.

Local, not long-distance

We work Richardson from the Telecom Corridor.

The established housing stock in Richardson means older homes with real equity, and whether that calls for a listing or an as-is sale, we handle both. Since 2019, the McDonald Group has helped buyers and sellers across DFW and North Texas, brokered by Fathom Realty, with our office in McKinney.

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.

What is Richardson, TX like?

Corridors, build era, and taxing boundaries shape what you can buy in Richardson and what it costs to hold.

Richardson sits directly north of Dallas along US 75, and the stretch of office campuses flanking that highway has carried the Telecom Corridor name since the early 1990s. Four DART Red Line stations serve the city, including CityLine at the Bush Turnpike, and the University of Texas at Dallas campus is inside the city limits. Most residential streets date to the 1950s through the 1970s, with newer townhome and mid-rise construction concentrated near the rail stations. The city is split between Richardson ISD and Plano ISD.

What are property taxes in Richardson, TX?

Richardson sits in Dallas County, where the combined property tax rate runs about 2.15 percent of market value for the 2025 tax year, ranging 1.95 to 2.60 percent depending on the school district. On a $350,000 home with a homestead exemption that works out to roughly $505 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.

School district share

Taxes and insurance are a large share of a monthly payment in Texas, so a national mortgage estimate will understate what a Richardson home actually costs to hold.
