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.

Sales Agent

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

Listing Marketing Manager

$45k–50k base· Hybrid, Coppell

Every listing is a small marketing campaign, and you'd run it. You decide how each home looks, reads, and launches, then you orchestrate the prep, vendors, and timeline that get it there. Half creative, half project management. You'd own both.

Sales Agent

Commission-based · DFW Metroplex · Reports to 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 business than our current team can handle, buyers and sellers both. 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 clients start to finish. Buyers and sellers, from the first call through closing day. You're their agent. You run showings, take listings, 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 listing marketing manager. Learn the workflows and lean on them so you can stay focused on clients.
  • Know your market. Pricing, neighborhoods, school zones, commute times, what just sold and what's sitting. Whether you're advising a buyer or pricing a listing, 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.
  • Comfortable working with buyers and sellers alike, or eager to learn both.
  • 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 Marketing Manager

Full-time · Hybrid, Coppell · Reports to CEO

Compensation

$45,000 to $50,000 base salary depending on experience. Hybrid schedule with in-office days plus time in the field for photo shoots, content, and seller meetings.

The role

Marketing a home is the visible, creative heart of this job, and it's yours. You decide how every property is presented to the world: the photography, the story, the way it launches. You make our listings look like the best-marketed homes in their neighborhoods, and when someone scrolls past one, it's your taste they're seeing.

It's also, in equal measure, a project management job. A polished listing doesn't happen by accident. Behind every launch is a plan with real deadlines and a dozen moving parts: prep, repairs, staging, photography, documents, vendors. Call it half marketing and half orchestration, and the best person in this seat genuinely loves both.

The pre-listing phase is where the project management half really lives. A seller signs, and suddenly there's a punch list a mile long: repairs to schedule, a stager to book, photos to time, disclosures and surveys to chase down, a seller to keep calm through all of it. You build that plan and you run it. If you love a clean process and a checklist as much as you love a beautiful listing, this is your seat.

What you'd own

  • The campaign. You run each listing like a campaign. You direct the photography, decide how each home is presented, and own the look from the first photo to the yard sign.
  • The story. You write the listing copy and the messaging around it. Not generic feature lists. Real descriptions that make someone stop and want to see the house in person.
  • The launch. You build each home across MLS, Private Exclusives, and BrokersBay, accurate to the detail and verified with the seller, then drive the rollout: syndication to the portals, signage, and the just-listed push that gets it seen.
  • The pre-listing plan. You own the prep from the signed agreement to the day it goes live. What gets done and in what order: repairs, paint, decluttering, a deep clean, curb appeal, staging, photos. You build the master timeline and you drive it.
  • Vendor and prep coordination. Stagers, cleaners, handymen, painters, landscapers, photographers. You schedule them, sequence them, confirm them, and chase them when they slip. Nothing sits waiting on you.
  • Documentation. Seller disclosure, survey, HOA documents, utilities, warranties, repair receipts. Collected early, organized, and double-checked so nothing surfaces at the worst possible moment.
  • The seller, start to finish. Getting a home ready is stressful for sellers. You keep them informed, set expectations, and make them feel like their home is the only one we're thinking about.
  • Through closing and after. Keep the file moving once it's on the market and under contract, then close it out: the review request, the closing gift, the systems updated. The job isn't done until every loose end is tied off.

You might be the right fit if

  • You think like a marketer. You see a home and immediately picture how to present it: the angles, the light, the words, the way it should land online. Taste matters here, and you have it.
  • You're also a natural project manager. You think in timelines and dependencies, you're happiest with a plan, and you get a little thrill out of making a dozen moving parts line up.
  • You chase things down. When a vendor goes quiet or a deadline starts slipping, you're already on it. Nothing stays in your court for long.
  • You're organized to a fault. You remember the detail everyone else forgot, and a missing document or a flat listing description bothers you on a personal level.
  • You like people and you're steady when sellers are stressed, which they will be.
  • You pick up new tools fast. We use Canva, MLS, and a handful of systems you'll learn quickly.
  • Real estate experience is a plus but not required. A Texas license is a plus too, and we can help you get one if you want it.
