Want one McKinney real estate agent who prices, searches, and negotiates in both McKinney and Allen? Call Kelly Pearson. She has worked Collin County since 2010. She also leads a team at Monument Realty. Most importantly, she shows you real comparable sales and a clear plan before you decide anything.
Yes. Kelly Pearson has been licensed in Texas since 2010. She also holds the GRI, ABR, and SFR designations. D Magazine has named her a Best Realtor every year from 2017 to 2026. She works with buyers and sellers in both cities. Plus, she brings a wider DFW view when you're relocating.
Kelly has a Texas license you can verify and more than fifteen years in the business. On top of that, she works the Allen and McKinney markets every day. You get real numbers, a straight answer, and a plan. Meanwhile, the decision always stays yours.
First, consider her home turf. Kelly has been the #1 listing and selling agent in Allen's StarCreek for nine years in a row. You can't learn that kind of pricing and negotiating from a brochure.
Next, look at volume. In 2025, she closed $51.55 million across 42 transaction sides. That ranked her #1 in Frisco and #57 in Texas by sales volume, per her RealTrends Verified profile. Her clients also rate her 4.9 stars across more than 90 Google reviews.
Most of her work is with homes from roughly $400,000 to $1M+. She knows StarCreek, Twin Creeks, Stonebridge Ranch, Craig Ranch, and Trinity Falls well. She also works Shaddock Park and Painted Tree. Property types include single family, townhouse, condo, multi-family, new construction, luxury, and land.
Kelly is a licensed Texas sales agent sponsored by Monument Realty. The Texas Real Estate Commission explains that a sales agent works under a sponsoring broker. Its License Holder Search shows background history, reported violations, education, and sponsoring broker. Therefore, you can check Kelly there yourself.
There's one more distinction. TREC notes that a licensed agent doesn't have to join the REALTOR® association. Kelly, however, is both licensed and a REALTOR®. Her GRI, ABR, and SFR designations add training in pricing, buyer representation, and distressed sales. An active Texas license is required to negotiate a deal between a buyer and seller. Kelly's has been active since 2010.
Kelly leads Kelly Pearson Realty Group at Monument Realty. Consequently, a whole team backs your search or listing, not one person's calendar. That depth makes a real difference when your move involves two cities.
Kelly hunts for your home and builds your offer from comparable sales. She doesn't rely on the asking price alone. That matters in McKinney, where homes are selling further below asking than in Allen.
A great buyer's agent doesn't wait for a listing to appear. Instead, Kelly works the MLS, her network, and off-market owners directly. She also sets alerts around your must-haves. These include commute, lot, age, condition, and budget.
Are you drawn to new construction in a community like Trinity Falls or Painted Tree? If so, bring Kelly to the first visit. After all, the builder's rep works for the builder. New construction is also one of Kelly's specialties.
Realtor.com's September 2026 snapshots show two Collin County cities behaving differently. These are portal figures, so treat them as a rough guide. Ultimately, the comparable sales for your home set your price.
| Measure (September 2026) | Allen | McKinney |
|---|---|---|
| Median listing price | $560,000 | $525,000 |
| Median sold price | $499,885 | $450,800 |
| Active listings | 520 | 2,439 |
| Median days on market | 52 | 60 |
| Average sale vs. asking | 1.26% below | 5.05% below |
| Sale-to-list-price ratio | 99% | 95% |
Source: Realtor.com Allen market data and Realtor.com McKinney market data.
McKinney had 2,439 active listings and a 95% sale-to-list ratio. Homes there took a median of 60 days to sell. By contrast, Allen had 520 active listings and a 99% ratio, with a median of 52 days. A single "DFW market" average hides all of that.
Those gaps are why Kelly won't give you a rule of thumb for your offer. A 95% ratio doesn't mean your favorite house will sell for 5% under. Every home has its own condition, competition, and story.
To start, Kelly shows you the comparable sales she used. Then she adjusts for square footage, updates, lot, build year, and location. She also separates the price she recommends from the most you'd be comfortable paying.
Next, she talks through the terms that move the deal:
Finally, you make the call with the full picture in front of you. Kelly also won't tell you to waive your inspection to win a bid. There are smarter ways to make an offer stand out.
Kelly lists and markets homes in both cities. Likewise, she coordinates the sale and the purchase when you're doing both. If you're a past client moving up or downsizing, you already know how she prices.
She starts with a price built on comparable sales. A sharp price in week one almost always nets more than chasing the market down. In fact, overpricing to "leave room to negotiate" usually backfires and shrinks your final number.
Kelly also walks you through what to fix first and how photography and showings will work. In addition, she covers open-house strategy and how buyer feedback reaches you. If showings are slow, the plan sets clear points for changing the price or marketing. Professional photography and full syndication come standard, not as extras.
Commission is fully negotiable and isn't set by law. Kelly spells it out in your listing agreement. She'll gladly talk it through with you directly.
Selling in Allen and buying in McKinney is common in Collin County. This is exactly where one agent for both cities earns her keep. First, Kelly shows you what your home is worth today and what that equity buys. Then she lays out whether to sell first or buy first in your situation.
As a result, you aren't juggling two agents' timelines. A quick home equity check is a smart first step.
Moving here from out of state? You need an agent who knows the whole metroplex, not just one suburb. Fortunately, relocation is one of Kelly's specialties. She can compare McKinney, Allen, and other DFW areas before you commit to a city.

Look for local pricing experience, a clear search method, and a license you can verify. Kelly Pearson has been licensed in Texas since 2010. She works Stonebridge Ranch, Craig Ranch, Painted Tree, and Trinity Falls. D Magazine has also named her a Best Realtor every year from 2017 to 2026.
Ideally, you want both. Pricing knowledge at the city level matters because McKinney and Allen behave differently. In September 2026, McKinney homes sold about 5.05% below asking, versus about 1.26% in Allen. Kelly works both cities daily and brings a DFW-wide view to relocations.
Ask how she searches and which comparable sales support her price advice. Also ask how she'd handle a competing offer. She'll show you the comps and explain her adjustments. If you're selling, ask about her pricing, photography, and showing plan.
Use the Texas Real Estate Commission's License Holder Search. It shows background history, reported violations, education, and sponsoring broker. Kelly is a licensed sales agent sponsored by Monument Realty.
