North Texas Real Estate

What North Texas Real Estate does

North Texas Real Estate is a privately held residential real estate brokerage headquartered in Aubrey, Texas, with an additional office in Denton. The firm was founded in 2012 by Charles Doherty, who operates alongside co-broker Jack Ragsdale under the 'Real T Team' sub-brand, and targets home buyers and sellers across the North Texas region of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, with an emphasis on Denton County and adjacent communities including Frisco, Flower Mound, and Justin.

The firm's core product is an MLS-integrated property search website (northtxrealestate.net) built on the Real Geeks IDX platform, providing county- and city-level search across 15+ North Texas counties, city-specific landing pages, an email-based new-listing alert feature, and social-sharing integrations with Facebook, X, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. Underlying technology is the third-party Real Geeks stack rather than proprietary systems; the firm's differentiation rests on local market knowledge, direct agent access (Monday-Saturday 8AM-8PM, Sunday on request), and full-service buyer and seller representation covering property search, valuation, negotiations, and transaction management.

The business model is a traditional commission-based brokerage: the firm earns a transaction fee (typically 2.5%-6% of sale price, individually negotiated) on buyer- and seller-side representation in residential transactions. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the MLS-enabled website, direct phone outreach to the two agents, and SEO/organic social. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, revenue is not reported, and the firm has no institutional funding, parent company, or recognized subsidiaries.
