From Inquiry to Keys in Hand

Sometimes, what starts as a simple question — “Could we really sell our home and buy another at the same time?” — turns into an exciting new chapter. That’s exactly how it went for the Tingle family.

When they first reached out to Gray Fox Realty, they weren’t sure if making a move was even possible. They loved their home at 508 Bancroft Lane in Franklin, but curiosity led them to explore what it might look like to sell and find something new. Like many homeowners, the idea of coordinating both a sale and a purchase felt daunting.

After meeting with the Gray Fox Realty team, they learned that—with the right plan and market strategy—it was possible. Together, we carefully reviewed their finances and outlined several options to help them sell their current home while purchasing their next one in today’s market. Once they saw the numbers and the plan, the stress quickly turned into excitement.

Their Franklin home was already beautifully updated and ready to shine, making it a strong listing in a desirable neighborhood. Gray Fox Realty’s professional marketing helped the home attract attention quickly, and we were able to secure a great offer that worked perfectly with their timeline.

At the same time, the Tingles found their dream home at 708 Eldon Lane in Nolensville. We structured their purchase contract to be contingent upon the sale of their Franklin home—creating a smooth, stress-free transition between closings. Both transactions lined up seamlessly, and everything moved forward without a hitch.

Today, the Tingles couldn’t be happier in their new Nolensville home! They not only benefited from expert guidance throughout the process but also saved thousands by listing with Gray Fox Realty’s full-service flat fee model. For just $2,495, they received the same professional service, strategy, and marketing as a traditional brokerage—without the heavy commission cost.

This move also marks a milestone for Gray Fox Realty: four homes sold on Bancroft Lane! It’s always rewarding to help neighbors make confident, financially smart moves—and even more special when it leads to new beginnings like the Tingles’ story.

At Gray Fox Realty, we love helping families make moves they didn’t think were possible—and saving them money along the way.
