Cities We Serve in the North Dallas Corridor

McKinney, TX

One of the most beloved cities in North Texas — consistently ranked among the best places to live in America. Historic downtown, top-rated schools, and a wide range of housing from entry-level to luxury. Strong appreciation history and consistent demand make McKinney one of the most sought-after addresses in the DFW metro.

Frisco, TX

Repeatedly ranked the fastest growing city in America. Home to the Dallas Cowboys World Headquarters, PGA of America headquarters, and major corporate campuses. Frisco's master-planned communities, elite schools, and amenity-rich lifestyle attract buyers from across the country. Price points range from $400,000 to well above $2,000,000.

Prosper, TX

One of the most desirable and fastest-growing communities in Collin County. Known for exceptional schools, large lots, and luxury single-family homes. Prosper attracts families who want more space and a premium community environment while remaining connected to the broader DFW employment base.

Denton, TX

Home to the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University, Denton has a vibrant arts and culture scene alongside strong residential demand. Our family has offices in Denton — we know this city well. A growing technology and healthcare employment base is driving increasing demand for quality housing across all price points.

Aubrey, TX

One of the fastest growing small cities in the entire country — driven by new master-planned communities offering larger lots and more house for the money than closer-in suburbs. Buyers who want space, newer construction, and access to the North Dallas corridor without the premium price tags of Frisco or Prosper are discovering Aubrey in significant numbers.

Little Elm, TX

Lakefront living on Lewisville Lake with strong community character and a wide range of housing options. Little Elm has grown dramatically while maintaining its distinct identity. Access to the lake, strong schools, and competitive price points relative to neighboring Frisco make Little Elm increasingly attractive to buyers priced out of adjacent markets.

We Know This Corridor Personally

Our family has professional offices in both Denton and Sherman — putting us squarely in the heart of the North Texas corridor we serve. We have watched McKinney transform, seen Prosper build out some of the most impressive master-planned communities in the state, and experienced firsthand the energy and growth that has made this stretch of North Texas one of the most talked-about real estate markets in the country.

When you work with First Commerce Financial on a North Dallas purchase you are working with people who have genuine familiarity with this market — not a call center reading from a script about a market they have never visited.

Why Texas — And Why Now

Texas has been one of the most powerful relocation destinations in the country for over a decade — and the North Dallas corridor has been at the center of that story. The reasons are well documented and compounding:

No state income tax — for a California or New York family earning $200,000 annually, moving to Texas is an immediate $15,000-$20,000 after-tax pay raise with no change in salary
Corporate relocations — Oracle, Tesla, CBRE, Charles Schwab, Toyota, and dozens of other major corporations have relocated headquarters or significant operations to the Dallas-Fort Worth metro in recent years, driving high-income job growth
Lower cost of living — even with significant home price appreciation, North Dallas offers dramatically more house per dollar than comparable markets in California, New York, and the Pacific Northwest
Business-friendly environment — no corporate income tax, lighter regulatory environment, and a state government that actively courts business investment
Infrastructure investment — ongoing highway expansion, new toll roads, and planned transit improvements are extending the practical commuting range of the North Dallas corridor further north every year

Texas Property Taxes — What Buyers Need to Know

Texas has no state income tax — but it does have some of the highest property tax rates in the country. This is one of the most important financial considerations for buyers relocating to Texas from other states, and one that is frequently underestimated.

Property tax rates in the North Dallas corridor typically range from 1.7% to 2.5% of assessed value annually depending on the specific city, school district, and applicable taxing entities. On a $500,000 home that translates to $8,500-$12,500 per year — or $708-$1,042 per month added to your housing costs on top of your mortgage payment.

This is not a reason to avoid Texas — the income tax savings more than offset property taxes for most buyers. But it is essential to calculate your true monthly housing cost with accurate property tax estimates before committing to a purchase price. We do this calculation for every Texas buyer we work with — because qualifying for a mortgage and comfortably affording a home are two different things.

Loan Programs for North Dallas Buyers

Conventional Loans

The most common program for North Dallas buyers across all price points. Available with as little as 3-5% down for first-time buyers. We access competitive conventional pricing from dozens of wholesale lenders — typically better than what retail banks in the DFW area offer.

Jumbo Loans

For Frisco, Prosper, and luxury McKinney purchases above the conforming loan limit ($806,500 in 2025). We access competitive jumbo pricing from multiple wholesale lenders — critical in a market where many desirable homes exceed conforming limits.

VA Loans

The DFW metro has one of the largest veteran and active-duty military populations in the country. Eligible veterans can purchase anywhere in the North Dallas corridor with zero down payment and no PMI — one of the most powerful financing tools available.

FHA Loans

For buyers with lower down payments or credit scores that make conventional financing more challenging. A strong option for first-time buyers entering the market at entry-level price points in Denton, Little Elm, or Aubrey.

New Construction Loans

The North Dallas corridor has significant new construction activity across all price points. We work with buyers purchasing from builders — including evaluating builder preferred lender offers vs. our wholesale rates to make sure you are getting the best deal available.

DSCR Investment Loans

North Texas's strong rental demand — driven by corporate relocations and population growth — makes it an attractive investment market. DSCR loans qualify on property income with no personal income verification required. Ideal for investors building portfolios in the DFW market.

New Construction — A Special Note for North Dallas Buyers

The North Dallas corridor has an enormous amount of new construction activity — from entry-level communities in Aubrey and Little Elm to luxury custom builds in Prosper. If you are buying new construction anywhere in this corridor, please read this carefully:

Builders will almost always offer you an incentive — a rate buydown, closing cost contribution, or upgrade package — if you use their preferred lender. Before you accept that offer, call us. We will obtain a wholesale rate quote for the same loan and run a complete side-by-side comparison showing you the total cost of ownership over your expected holding period. Sometimes the builder incentive is genuinely worth taking. Sometimes our wholesale rate beats the incentive even without the builder contribution. You cannot know without running the numbers — and we do this comparison for free.

How do Texas property taxes affect my mortgage qualification?

Property taxes are included in your monthly payment through your escrow account and counted in your debt-to-income ratio just like principal and interest. Texas property tax rates are among the highest in the country — typically 1.7-2.5% of assessed value annually in the North Dallas corridor. On a $500,000 home that adds $708-$1,042 per month to your housing costs. This significantly affects how much home you qualify for compared to a lower-tax state at the same income level. We calculate this precisely for every Texas buyer we work with.

Should I use the builder's preferred lender or First Commerce Financial for new construction?

Always get both quotes before deciding. Builder preferred lenders offer incentives — rate buydowns, closing cost credits, upgrade packages — that can be genuinely valuable. But our wholesale rates are typically lower than what builder preferred lenders offer on the base rate. Sometimes the incentive more than covers the rate difference. Sometimes it does not. We run this comparison for free for every new construction buyer — call us before you commit to any builder's preferred lender and we will give you an honest side-by-side analysis.

Are you familiar with the specific communities in Frisco, Prosper, and McKinney?

Yes — our family has professional offices in Denton and Sherman and we have worked with buyers across the entire North Dallas corridor. We understand the differences between master-planned communities, the HOA structures common in this market, the CDD and MUD district fees that affect carrying costs in some developments, and the specific dynamics of each city's real estate market. We bring real familiarity — not just a licensed presence.

Do you work with buyers relocating to North Dallas from out of state?

Absolutely — relocation buyers are a significant part of our Texas business. We regularly work with buyers moving from California, Illinois, Michigan, Florida, and New York who are purchasing in the North Dallas corridor. We can pre-approve you remotely, communicate however is most convenient, and coordinate with your Texas real estate agent to make the process smooth from wherever you are starting. We are also licensed in Michigan, Florida, and Arizona — so if you are selling in one of those states and buying in Texas, we can handle both sides of your financing.
