Moving is stressful enough.
Add a pregnancy. (Don't forget the two toddlers)
Add two full-time jobs.
Add selling a home and buying one in a competitive market—at the same time.
That was the reality for Anthony and Rebekah. They were living in College Station when they reached a breaking point: Both of their jobs were based in Dallas, and the distance was wearing on them. Constant travel. Feeling disconnected from their teams. Missing out on the life they were trying to build. They knew it was time to get to Dallas-Fort Worth—and they wanted to do it before their third baby arrived.
But how do you coordinate that kind of move?
That’s when they found us at Nail & Key Real Estate Group.
Step One: A Real Plan for a Real Situation
We first sat down with Anthony and Rebekah at his Dallas office during one of their work trips. We talked—not just about houses, but about their bigger picture:
- Get closer to work.
- Get settled before the baby.
- Sell their College Station home without pressure.
- Find the right home in Allen—the community Anthony grew up in and wanted to return to.
- Add in one very particular detail about a primary bath shower and we were set!
They were excited but understandably overwhelmed. So we shared our four-part buyer strategy—designed specifically to help families like theirs navigate high-stakes moves with less stress and more clarity.
1. Finding the Right Home—Not Just Any Home
Using our advanced home search tools and local agent network, we gave Anthony and Rebekah early access to listings—including off-market opportunities most buyers never see. We helped them narrow their options quickly, keeping their priorities front and center.
2. Negotiating with Confidence
Once Anthony and Rebekah found the right home in Allen, we used live market data and visual pricing tools to structure a strong but fair offer. We were even able to negotiate a contingent offer, meaning the sellers accepted their bid while Anthony and Bekah waited to sell their current home. That contingency gave them breathing room and peace of mind.
3. Inspecting Every Detail
With the home under contract, we coordinated top-tier inspections and contractor walk-throughs to make sure everything was in great shape. We believe that buying a home shouldn’t mean inheriting a list of unknown problems—and for a young family about to welcome another child, that mattered.
4. Closing On Time
The final push (pun intended)? Getting everything closed, funded, and move-in ready before the baby arrived. We managed timelines across both transactions—the College Station sale and the Allen purchase—to ensure a smooth handoff with no surprises
