Cindy and Cory Dunnican founded The Dunnican Team in 1998 and have been serving buyers and sellers in Northeast Dallas, Rockwall County, and the communities surrounding Lake Ray Hubbard and Lake Lavon ever since. Their practice is built on a simple standard: every client works directly with Cindy or Cory — not a junior agent or a showing assistant filling in.
Cindy leads the listing side — pricing strategy, property marketing, and guiding sellers through every stage from preparation through closing. Cory leads buyer representation — bringing a background in mortgage lending and real estate finance that helps clients evaluate purchases with a clear, grounded perspective on long-term value.
Together, they've closed more than 1,850 home sales and $3.5 billion in career sales volume, consistently ranked among the top 1% of agents in the North Texas MLS. Cheryl Holder, their Client Services Manager and Transaction Coordinator, has been the operational anchor of every transaction since 2018 — keeping every detail on track from executed contract through closing day.

Real estate decisions carry real financial consequences. Our job is to help clients make those decisions with clarity — not pressure, not urgency manufactured to drive a quick close, and not advice shaped by what's easiest for us.
We work before the market does. That means defining goals and guardrails before a home goes live, pricing from a position of leverage rather than optimism, and managing every stage of the transaction with the same discipline. The goal isn't the fastest sale — it's the right outcome, structured from the beginning to protect what clients have worked to build.
"You don't control the market. You control your preparation."
What We Stand For
Honesty Over Convenience
We tell clients what they need to hear, not what's easiest to say. That means accurate pricing even when it's not the number someone hoped for, honest assessments of offers, and straightforward guidance when conditions shift. Trust is built on consistency — and that starts with transparency in every conversation.
Preparation Before Movement
We don't move until the structure is sound. Sellers don't list until pricing, timing, and presentation are right. Buyers don't make offers until the numbers and resale picture are understood. Rushing a real estate decision to close faster rarely serves the client — it serves the transaction. We're here for the client.
Direct Access, Always
When you work with The Dunnican Team, you work with Cindy or Cory directly — from the first conversation through closing. Not an assistant, not a showing agent filling in. Life's most significant financial decisions deserve direct access to the person responsible for guiding them.
Faith-Driven Purpose
We approach this work as a calling — to serve well, act with integrity, and honor the trust clients place in us. That foundation shapes how we handle every decision, including the hard ones, and it's what we come back to when the process gets complicated.
Rooted in This Community
We don't just work in Northeast Dallas and Rockwall County — we live here. Cindy and Cory have raised their family in these communities for more than two decades. That's not a marketing line. It's the reason our local knowledge runs deeper than most, and why this market is personal to us.
We specialize in residential resale, luxury listings, new construction, relocation, downsizing, and lifestyle properties — including lakefront and golf course homes across the Lake Cities area.
Cindy handles listing strategy, pricing, marketing, and seller guidance. Cory handles buyer representation, financial analysis, offer structure, and new construction evaluation. Cheryl manages every transaction from contract through closing.
Whether you're preparing a longtime family home for the market, purchasing a new construction home in Fate or Royse City, or relocating to North Texas from across the country — we bring the same structured, deliberate approach to every transaction.
We are focused on the communities surrounding Lake Ray Hubbard and Lake Lavon, and the broader Northeast Dallas and Rockwall County area across Dallas, Rockwall, and Collin Counties.
