D Magazine Presents

Best Real Estate Agents, Mortgage Professionals, and Insurance Agents in Dallas

Every year, the D Magazine’s editorial research division surveys more than 20,000 D Magazine subscribers and recent homebuyers, along with members of the real estate, mortgage, and insurance communities to identify outstanding agents and professionals for public recognition. Winners are selected for excellence in customer service, integrity, market knowledge, and overall satisfaction. We vet nominees for licensing and disciplinary status, and announce the winners in the July 2023 issue of D Magazine.
