The McKinney market
What we see in McKinney
McKinney is the Collin County seat and one of the DFW submarkets Diamond actively works.
The McKinney situation that drives the calls we take is military relocation. There is no active-duty installation in McKinney itself — the closest base is Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base on the far west side of the metro — but McKinney pulls a meaningful residential slice of DFW's military and defense-industry population. Raytheon Intelligence & Space employs roughly 4,200 people in McKinney, and service members on DFW-area assignments routinely choose Collin County schools for the duty cycle. PCS-orders sellers are the situation: a 30 to 60 day report-by date does not align with a retail listing window, especially when the next station is overseas or on the West Coast and the seller has already physically moved. We close cash on the PCS timeline, remotely if needed, with Texas-compliant power-of-attorney handling for the absent spouse.
The second McKinney situation is probate. McKinney is the county seat, which means the Collin County probate courts physically sit at the McKinney administrative complex — the same courts that process Plano and Frisco estates. Our title attorney works Collin County probate week-in-week-out: independent administration, MERP claims, missing-heir cures, muniments of title in lieu of full probate. The older housing stock in East McKinney (75069) and around historic downtown is in the same demographic arc as Plano's older grid — original owners aging out, heirs scattered.
Closings run through Collin County title companies — the file stays inside Collin County.

McKinney FAQ
Common questions from McKinney sellers
Do you work with military sellers on PCS orders in McKinney?
Yes — PCS-timeline sellers are one of the situations we see most in McKinney. The retail listing window does not fit a 30 to 60 day PCS report-by date, especially when the next duty station is overseas or on the West Coast. We close cash on the seller timeline, including remote closings if the service member has already moved.
Is there a military base in McKinney?
No — McKinney does not have its own active-duty military installation. The closest base to McKinney is Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base on the west side of DFW. McKinney sees military residential demand from defense employers in the metro (notably Raytheon Intelligence & Space, which employs roughly 4,200 in McKinney) and from service members who choose Collin County schools while assigned to DFW-area positions.
How does McKinney probate work?
McKinney is the seat of Collin County, so probate runs through the dedicated Collin County probate courts at the McKinney administrative complex — the same courts that handle Plano and Frisco estates. Independent administration is the default. Our title attorney handles MERP cures, missing heirs, and muniment-of-title proceedings inline with the closing.
Do you buy in Stonebridge Ranch and Craig Ranch?
Yes. Both master-planned communities are areas we work — Stonebridge Ranch in particular drives downsizing-seller calls, and Craig Ranch sees military and corporate relocations tied to the TPC golf club, the regional sports park, and the corporate campuses on the north side of McKinney.
