Trading up in McKinney without getting stuck in between
Selling your first home and buying the next with one timeline, so you're never stuck in between.
Trading up in McKinney
Trading up in McKinney usually means staying in town and getting more room: an office, a game room, a bigger yard. A lot of families don't want to leave the schools, the friends or the downtown square they already love. They want more house in the place they already know.
The hard part is doing it in the right order. What if you sell and then can't find the right next home?
One timeline for both moves
Before anything goes on the market, I lay out when to list, when to buy and when to close. Your current home gets the full launch: three pricing strategies you choose from, a staging consultation, professional and drone photos, a listing video, Coming Soon before it goes live, and Facebook and Instagram ads targeting the local market around the listing. See how I sell.
On the buying side, we get pre-approved and focus the search. I negotiate both deals myself, and my transaction coordinator tracks both sets of deadlines. See trading up.
Where McKinney move-up buyers land
- Stonebridge Ranch: move-up homes, golf course lots and gated sections in an established community.
- Ridgecrest: mostly two-story brick with offices, game rooms and media rooms, near US 380.
- Painted Tree and Trinity Falls: new construction if you want a builder warranty and an open floor plan.

McKinney
What trading up looks like in McKinney
A historic downtown square, neighborhoods from 1980s Stonebridge Ranch to brand-new Painted Tree, and my home base for 20+ years.
- Why people choose it
- A lot of the city's life is outdoors, with plenty of activities built around kids and families. It feels a little less urban than Plano or Frisco, which is part of the appeal for many buyers.
- Schools
- Most of McKinney is zoned to McKinney ISD. Some areas, parts of Craig Ranch included, fall in other districts, so check the address.
- Getting around
- Most people commute by car.
- Nearby
- Historic downtown McKinney: renovated older buildings around the square, good restaurants, some nightlife, and something going on almost constantly, from farmers markets and Oktoberfest to parades and the Christmas festivities.
