Expert Real Estate Agency in Dallas-Fort Worth
Tired of scrolling through listings that don't match what you actually need? Maybe you found a place in Lakewood, but it sold before you could tour it. Maybe you are relocating to DFW for work and have no idea whether Frisco or Garland fits your budget. Or maybe you have been renting in East Dallas, and you are ready to stop paying someone else's mortgage. Whatever brought you here, you need answers, and you need a real estate team that knows this market block by block.
Call (469) 366-4943 and talk to a licensed Dallas-Fort Worth real estate agent who can help you move forward today.
You should not have to figure out the Dallas-Fort Worth housing market alone. Prices can shift from one zip code to another. Property taxes can vary wildly between Dallas County and Collin County. A home in Mesquite and a home in Highland Park might be 20 minutes apart, but $500,000 different. You need someone on your side who already knows where the value is, where the market is heading, and how to get your offer accepted in a competitive situation.
We do this every day at Rainbow Realtors. Our office is at 1606 Peavy Rd in Dallas, and this is our neighborhood. We shop at the same stores, sit in the same traffic on 635, and know which streets flood when a spring storm rolls through. When we advise you on a home, it comes from living here, not only pulling data from a screen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from buyers and sellers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area
How much do realtors charge in Dallas-Fort Worth?
In the DFW metroplex, real estate commissions typically range from 5-6% of the sale price, split between buyer's and seller's agents. At Rainbow Realtors, we're transparent about our fees from day one and happy to explain exactly how commission structures work in Texas.
What credit score do I need to buy a house in Texas?
Most conventional loans require a minimum credit score of 620, though FHA loans may accept scores as low as 580 with a larger down payment. We work with Dallas area lenders who can help you understand your options based on your specific situation.
How much house can I afford making $70,000 a year?
Using the general guideline that housing costs shouldn't exceed 28-30% of your gross income, a $70K salary could support roughly $1,600-1,750 in monthly payments. In the DFW market, this typically translates to homes in the $280,000-$340,000 range, depending on your down payment, current interest rates, whether there are HOA fees, and property taxes in your target neighborhood.
What's the best loan for first-time homebuyers in Texas?
Texas offers several first-time buyer programs, including the Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation (TSAHC) and Texas Department of Housing programs that provide down payment assistance. FHA loans remain popular for their lower down payment requirements. Our team connects buyers with local lenders who specialize in these programs.
How long does it take to buy a house in Dallas?
From accepted offer to closing, most transactions in the DFW area take 30-45 days. However, the full process, including home search and offer negotiations, can run 2-4 months for buyers. Being pre-approved before starting to look can significantly speed up your timeline.
Do I need a realtor to buy a house?
You're not legally required to use a realtor, but working with a local agent provides significant advantages: access to MLS listings, negotiation expertise, contract guidance, and local market knowledge. In Texas, buyer's agents are typically paid through the seller's commission, so buyers often pay nothing directly for representation.
What should I look for when choosing a real estate agent?
Look for local market knowledge, communication style that matches yours, availability, and a track record with transactions similar to yours. Ask about their experience in your target neighborhoods and how they'll keep you informed throughout the process. A good agent should be able to answer specific questions about the areas you're considering.
What neighborhoods are best for first-time buyers in DFW?
Areas like Garland, Mesquite, and parts of Fort Worth offer more affordable entry points with good appreciation potential. Suburbs like Wylie, Anna, and Celina provide newer construction at competitive prices. The "best" neighborhood depends on your commute, lifestyle preferences, and long-term goals, which is something we help buyers evaluate during our initial consultation.
