We're hiring
for the long game

Nail & Key is a referral-based real estate team in Coppell. Every client came from someone who trusted us with their people. If you want to build a career that looks more like tending a garden than working a pipeline, read on.

How we work

Most teams reward
the chase. We reward
the care.

Around 40% of our business comes from past client referrals, and another chunk comes from people in the sphere of our current team. That means we're not feeding a top-of-funnel machine. We're maintaining relationships we've already built, and adding to them slowly.

We follow Ninja Selling, which is just a formal way of saying relationships come first. We run on EOS with weekly meetings and clear scorecards. The systems exist so we can spend more time with people, not less.

i.

People over pipeline

FORD conversations, handwritten notes, birthday calls. The stuff that doesn't fit on a dashboard.

ii.

Hospitality is the product

How someone feels leaving a transaction is what determines whether they ever send us their sister.

iii.

Systems that work

Scorecards, weekly L10, task templates, clear ownership. We don't wing anything that touches a client.

iv.

Say the hard thing

If something needs to be said, we say it. Kindly, directly, and before it turns into resentment.

Open roles

Every role on this team touches clients directly, or touches the work that does. Both matter.

● Actively hiring

Buyer Agent

Commission-based· DFW Metroplex· Compass RE Texas

We're generating more buyer business than our current team can handle. You'd work referred buyers from day one while we coach you on building your own sphere.

● Actively hiring

Listing Coordinator

Full-time · Base + bonus· Hybrid, Coppell

You'd own the listing process from first consult through closing gift. Not a back-office admin role. You're in the room, on the phone, and in front of sellers.

Buyer Agent

Commission-based · DFW Metroplex · Reports to CEO / Lead Agent

The arrangement

Commission split on closed transactions, both team-referred and self-sourced. You bring the work ethic. We bring the clients, the coaching, and the back-end support.

The opportunity

We're generating more buyer business than our current team can handle. These are all referred clients, meaning someone they trust sent them to us. That's a very different starting point than a cold internet lead, and we want someone on this team who gets the difference.

The referrals get you going, but the best agents in this seat build their own sphere too. People who genuinely like talking to people. If strangers open up to you at the grocery store, that's a good sign.

What you'll do

  • Work referred buyers start to finish. From the first call through closing day. You're their agent. You run showings, write offers, handle negotiations, and keep them informed the whole way.
  • Build your own sphere. FORD conversations, personal outreach, showing up in your community. We'll teach you the system, but you have to be the one who picks up the phone.
  • Communicate before you're asked. Clients should never have to chase you for an update. If something changed, they hear it from you first.
  • Use the team around you. You'll have a buyer coordinator, a transaction coordinator, and a marketing coordinator. Learn the workflows and lean on them.
  • Know your inventory. Pricing, neighborhoods, school zones, commute times, what just sold and what's sitting. When a client has a question, you should know the answer or know where to look in under a minute.
  • Protect the reputation. Every client you work with got our name from someone they trust. That trust transfers to you, and it's not something we take lightly.

Who we're looking for

  • Active Texas real estate license, or willing to get one immediately.
  • Good with people. Not good at selling people. There is a difference.
  • The kind of person who builds relationships without a reason to, it just happens.
  • Hungry to actually build something, not just looking for a place to park a license.
  • Willing to follow our system before deciding to do it your own way.
  • Comfortable working across the DFW metroplex.
  • Responsive. If a client texts you, three hours is too long to wait.

Listing Coordinator

Full-time · Hybrid, Coppell · Reports to CEO / Lead Agent

Compensation

Competitive base salary plus per-transaction bonus on every closed listing. Hybrid schedule with in-office days plus field work for consults, photos, and client meetings.

The role

The listing coordinator owns the client experience alongside the lead agent, from first consult through closing gift. You run timelines, communication, documentation, and vendor coordination so the agent can focus on pricing, negotiation, and the seller relationship.

This is not a back-office admin role. You're in the room. You go to consults. You call sellers. You represent this team in person, and the standard is high.

What you own

  • Consult support and follow-through. Prep materials with neighborhood data and comps. Attend consults to present the listing process, home prep plan, and marketing strategy. Create and send listing agreements. Draft the post-consult recap so the client walks away knowing exactly what happens next.
  • Listing preparation. Own the prep timeline from signed agreement to go-live. Coordinate staging, contractors, and photography. Provide vendor referrals. Attend photo appointments. Build listings across MLS, Private Exclusives, and BrokersBay, verified with the seller before anything goes live.
  • Seller communication. Weekly client service calls at every stage. Not a script. Not a checkbox. Real conversations about how things are going, what's coming next, and what the seller needs from us.
  • Documentation. Seller disclosure notices, surveys, offer instructions, repair history, warranties, utility details. Every listing, every time, no exceptions.
  • On-market management. Weekly listing updates to the client and agent with relevant market data. Field agent inquiries and showing logistics. Collect and organize showing feedback.
  • Offer and contract support. Net sheets and offer summaries ready before anyone has to ask. Vet inspection requests with clear, client-ready formatting. Coordinate repair quotes, verify completion, build concession breakdowns.
  • Post-closing. Signage removal, lockbox pickup, MLS updates, CRM maintenance, closing gifts, review requests, and nurture list enrollment. The deal is not done at the closing table.

You might be the right fit if

  • You have real estate experience and ideally an active Texas license.
  • You're the person who remembers the details other people forget.
  • You'd rather over-communicate than leave someone wondering.
  • You can manage 10 to 15 active listings across multiple stages without things slipping.
  • You don't need to be told what comes next, you already know.
  • You're comfortable with technology and learn new systems quickly.
