Humans Over Houses
At NextHome Realty Solutions BCS, it is not about the units sold... it is about the people we help. We have helped people with their life savings and investments, moved the elderly into nursing homes, and helped dreamers buy the first home their family has ever known. We have helped people begin to build generational wealth that has been unobtainable in the past. We have helped people through divorces, marriages, adoptions, and deaths, We have walked side by side navigating credit repair from the first contact online, to tears at the closing table - sometimes years later! We are in it for the long haul and it is an honor to do what we do. Our client appreciation events feel more like family reunions - because we don't do business in units - we build relationships through business. It's what we do, it's who we are.
NextHome Realty Solutions BCS recognizes the importance of giving back to our community. Each year we hold a food drive for the Brazos Valley Foodbank. In 2022 we raised $1,050 and a grand total of 793 pounds - that's 661 meals provided to Brazos Valley neighbors in need!
NextHome Realty Solutions BCS understands the importance of diversity, and the significant role it plays in our day to day lives. Thanks to a training provided by our NextHome corporate office, in 2022, several Homies in our office received their At Home with Diversity Training® certification. This certification gives our REALTORS® diversity sensitivity training, how it applies to U.S. fair housing laws in their business, and ways to navigate the increasingly multicultural real estate market. See the list of our AHWD® certified Homies below!

I have seen Mrs. Broussard go above and beyond for her clients, combing through details of insurance policies to make sure everything is in order and that risks are properly managed.

I recently sold one of my homes in College Station with Raylene Lewis of NextHome Realty Solutions BCS, and I can't recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, she made what's often a stressful process feel genuinely easy.
The thing that stood out most: Raylene always answers her phone. In a business where so many agents let calls go to voicemail and get back to you eventually, she was reachable every single time I needed her. Her communication and responsiveness were second to none, and it made all the difference in keeping things moving.
Her grasp of the College Station/Bryan market is excellent. She priced the home right, and it sold fast. There were no games and no guesswork. When it came time to negotiate, she advocated hard on my behalf and got me a great outcome.
What I appreciated most was how smooth and stress-free she made the entire process. Raylene stayed on top of every detail, kept me informed at each step, and handled everything with real professionalism. If you're buying or selling in the College Station area, Raylene Lewis is the agent you want in your corner. This was the third home I have sold with Raylene and I'll absolutely be working with her again.

Tina is AMAZING. Her character is impeccable. Of all the interactions I’ve had with her I would never hesitate to have her lead my real estate needs. She’s sure attentive and full of integrity.

with a strong recommendation from a previous buy, we used Raylene to buy a new-build. After learning our objectives, concerns and budget, she showed alternatives all of which met our goals and then skillfully negotiated a perfect transaction. The intense followup covered all issues and concerns. This process occurred 90% remote from 1600 miles away, but we had complete confidence!

Raylene Lewis is one of the most data-driven Realtors I've worked with. She approaches pricing, positioning, and negotiations using current market data instead of assumptions or emotion - and that changes the quality of decisions being made throughout the process.
What stood out to me most was her ability to explain what was actually happening in the market in real time, rather than relying on outdated comparisons or guesswork.
If you are buying or selling real estate in the Bryan-College Station area, I strongly recommend giving Raylene a call.

Working with Farrah was a pleasure. She was fun to work with and a good communicator. She put together an amazing sales package. It certainly worked, as the house sold in a couple of days. By the time were done with the selling process we felt like were her close friends. We will probably not be selling a house again, but if we were to do so, we would definitely work with Farrah.

I've worked with Goly three times now, and I wouldn't go with anyone else. She's easy to work with, always quick to respond, and makes the whole buying and selling process so much less stressful. She's been great every single time, and I highly recommend her for your home buying needs.

From start to finish, our homebuying process with Farrah was phenomenal. There are tons of first-time homebuyer horror stories online, and our experience was the exact opposite. Even during hiccups with the sale, she took challenges head-on and always advocated for us. Farrah is an extremely busy woman yet made us feel like we were her biggest priority. I'd say I don't know how she does it, but it's clear: dedication and compassion are at the forefront of her values. I would recommend her to friends and family, and I'm strongly recommending her to whatever stranger is reading this. Farrah truly loves her job and cares about her clients, and we will definitely hire her again if/when it comes time to sell.

Her experience and attention to detail really showed during negotiations and throughout the closing process. I always felt like she had my best interests in mind and genuinely cared about getting the best outcome possible.
I would highly recommend Raylene to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She made what can be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable.

Our family has worked with Goly Apgar for almost 5 years. When we initially decided to purchase a home in College Station for our son and his roommates, Goly was attentive to what we wanted and found numerous options for us to consider. She made the purchase simple and easy to navigate as we live in another city. She provided leases and lease information for us and our renters for the duration of owning the home. She listed and sold our house quickly when it came time for our son to graduate. Throughout the entire time, Goly was helpful, professional, and easy to deal with.

Goly did an outstanding job helping us find our home. She was receptive, responsive, professional, and truly exceptional throughout the entire process. She listened carefully to what we were looking for and never tried to steer us in one direction or another. Instead, she provided guidance, answered our questions, and respected our preferences every step of the way.
Working with Goly was an absolute pleasure. If you're looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable about the market, attentive to your needs, and never pushy, I highly recommend giving Goly a call.

Trinity is a fantastic realtor that I highly recommend. While shopping around College Station, I have met with multiple realtors, and none were as friendly, or as helpful as Trinity has been. Trinity was extremely helpful during the entire process of discovering what my housing requirements are, finding a home that meets those requirements, and then entering into a contract, and closing on the house. While under contract, Trinity had so many resources available; whether it be inspectors, lenders, or insurance brokers. Yet I never felt like I was overwhelmed by information. She was very helpful, answered all questions that I had, and did a fantastic job maintaining communication between all parties in this process. If you are looking for a realtor that is hands off and will make you do all of the work, she is not the realtor for you.

If you're looking someone to help navigate the real estate market, look no further than Tiona Broussard.

I highly recommend reaching out to Tiona Broussard for all your real estate needs.

Raylene Lewis was outstanding from start to finish in the sale of our home in College Station. She combined deep local knowledge of the College Station/Bryan market with clear communication, sharp negotiation skills, and genuine care for our goals.
She priced the home strategically, prepared it well for showings, and kept us informed at every step. When offers came in, Raylene’s guidance was calm, data-driven, and focused on maximizing our outcome. She handled the details smoothly and made what can be a stressful process feel manageable and positive.
We appreciated her professionalism, responsiveness, and the way she advocated for us. If you’re selling (or buying) in College Station, Raylene is someone you can trust completely. Highly recommended

I’ve known Tyi for over 20 years, and one thing that has always stood out about her is her character. She’s incredibly trustworthy, personable, and genuinely cares about people. She’s also an excellent communicator who makes others feel comfortable and heard. Tyi leads with integrity and truly cares about her community. I know she’ll bring that same level of care and professionalism to her real estate business.

I have not utilized Tiona’s services or real estate yet; however, I would choose her before I look elsewhere due to her honesty, transparency, and professional character. Her integrity and morals is something I’ve always admired about her both on and off the job. I have worked with Tiona in the past, and she ensures that she checks off all boxes and even creates some of her own to ensure that the whole individual she is working with has everything that they need specific for them. If she’s able to do that in a professional setting, I can only imagine the amount of expertise she will bring to your home buying or selling experience. I’d greatly recommend Tiona to help navigate your real estate journey!

Raylene Lewis with NextHome Realty Solutions BCS did an outstanding job helping us sell our 25 acres in Franklin, Texas. From marketing and communication to negotiations and getting us all the way to closing, Raylene was knowledgeable, honest, and incredibly easy to work with.
Selling land is different from selling a traditional home, and Raylene understood how to position our Franklin acreage so the right buyers could see the value. She explained the process clearly, kept us updated, and handled the details with confidence and professionalism.
We are so grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend Raylene Lewis to anyone looking to buy or sell land, acreage, or real estate in Franklin, Bryan-College Station, or the surrounding Brazos Valley area.

I knew throughout the process that she would have my best interests in mind--whether it's in achieving my goals in listing or buying a house, advocating for me in negotiations, and bringing a sale to closing--she would give me her honest opinion and work hard for me. More importantly, Farrah is a wonderful person and friend!
