Best Real Estate Agents

Nominations are now closed, but will reopen in February 2025.

D Magazine emails nomination ballots to all real estate agents, mortgage professionals, and insurance agents in our database; and emails and mails ballots to more than 20,000 D Magazine subscribers and recent homebuyers in the area.

Best Residential Real Estate agents:

• We ask recent homebuyers and subscribers to nominate up to two agents they have worked with who have demonstrated excellence.
• We ask mortgage professionals and insurance agents to nominate up to three real estate agents they work with closely.
• We ask real estate agents to nominate up to three individuals in each category with whom they have worked closely.
  

Votes are tallied and sorted by D Magazine’s editorial staff. We put the data into an algorithm that places emphasis on feedback we received from our subscribers and recent homebuyers. We then screen each nominee with the Texas Real Estate Commission database to make sure that licenses are up to date and that there has been no disciplinary action.

The staff does not count:

• Self-nominations
• Duplicate ballots
• Nominees outside of our geographic boundaries (view here)
