Why work with Mali in Richardson

Richardson is a mature inner-ring suburb of about 118,000 people (ACS 2024 1-year) that straddles the Dallas–Collin county line. It is a genuine employment center in its own right (State Farm's CityLine campus, AT&T, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas, Texas Instruments, Cisco, Fossil Group, Lennox International and the University of Texas at Dallas all sit inside the city), and it is the only suburb on this corridor with real rail. Four DART Red Line stations, Orange Line service at peak, and since October 2025 the Silver Line, which runs straight to DFW Airport. The city is close to an even owner/renter split (50.2% homeownership), which is unusual out here and reflects both UT Dallas and the apartment stock around CityLine.

  • Local to Richardson, not just "the metroplex" - she knows the neighborhoods, schools, and HOAs block by block.
  • Represents you on both sides: buying, selling, or selling-to-buy with the two closings coordinated.
  • Straight answers on price and fees up front - no pressure, no jargon.
  • Access to off-market and new-build inventory beyond what's on the public portals.

Realtor in Richardson: common questions

How do I find a good realtor in Richardson?

Look for an agent who works Richardson specifically - not just "the DFW metroplex" - and can show recent, verifiable closings there. Mali Gariani is a licensed Texas real estate agent who represents buyers and sellers across Richardson and the surrounding North Texas suburbs, with local sales you can look up on Zillow and reviews from Richardson-area clients. The fastest way to start is a no-pressure call to talk through your timeline and price range.

How much does a realtor cost in Richardson?

Real estate commissions are negotiable and are not set by law. Since the 2024 National Association of Realtors settlement, buyer-broker compensation is agreed in writing before you tour homes, so you always know the terms up front. For sellers, Mali will walk you through what a listing costs and what it nets you before you sign anything. Ask for a straight answer on fees - a good Richardson agent gives you one.

Does Mali help with both buying and selling in Richardson?

Yes. Mali represents both buyers and sellers in Richardson: for buyers, that means finding homes (including off-market and new-build), touring, and negotiating; for sellers, a free comparative market analysis, pricing strategy, and full listing marketing. If you're doing both at once - selling to buy - she coordinates the two closings so you're not caught between them.

Which parts of Richardson does Mali cover?

All of Richardson, including Canyon Creek, CityLine, Richardson Heights. Because she works the whole city rather than one subdivision, she can compare neighborhoods on schools, commute, HOA, and resale for your specific shortlist instead of steering you to one pocket.

What school district is Richardson, TX in?

Two. Richardson ISD serves the Dallas County portion of the city, which is most of it. Plano ISD serves the Collin County (northern) portion, including the Breckinridge area. Confirm which one an address falls in before you tour; it is the single most common surprise in this city.

Does Richardson ISD have an IB program?

No. Richardson ISD's magnet lineup does not include International Baccalaureate, and no RISD campus appears on the IB organization's member list. Plano ISD, which serves Richardson's Collin County side, does run an IB Diploma Programme, and that is likely where the confusion comes from. Locally, Garland ISD runs an IB magnet at Garland High School.
