Katlyn & Kelcey + Caroline

BEACH HOME BUYERS: Katlyn & Kelcey – Best Friends Forever

Current Home: Corpus Christi, Texas

Beach House Hunting In: Padre Island/Corpus Christi, Texas

Beach Home Budget: $250,000

Kelcey and Katlyn aren’t just besties: they’re basically biological sisters without the shared DNA. These two have been inseparable since diapers (Literally! Katlyn’s mom put out a babysitting ad, met Kelcey’s mom and the rest is history.) From birthdays to graduations to now a beach home purchase, every major milestone has been a joint production. Katlyn might technically be buying her first beach home, but she’s tapped her sister-from-another-mother to be her trusted advisor in the process.

Now, here’s the twist: Katlyn is actually a real estate agent herself. Not just an agent, but the co-owner of a brokerage with her mother. Sounds like she’d be the perfect person to handle her own deal, right? Wrong. Katlyn will be the first to admit she has zero chill when it comes to buying for herself. Yep, if she likes it, she’ll overpay. Period. End of story. That’s why she’s wisely tapped someone else to be her financial guardrails: Caroline, a young, charismatic, social-media-savvy agent at her brokerage who just so happens to be a born-and-bred Padre Island local.

But here’s where the drama kicks in: Caroline isn’t just representing any client, she’s representing her boss! Cue the sweat. Sure, Caroline is a total beach girl who knows the island better than anyone, but helping Katlyn buy her dream place means impressing both Katlyn and her mom, aka the brokerage bosses. Talk about pressure-cooker vibes. Still, Caroline’s confident she can deliver and then some...though you can bet she’ll be working overtime to make sure everything’s flawless.

Meanwhile, Kelcey is fully leaning into her role as ride-or-die partner-in-crime. From calling out cringey starfish décor to backing up Katlyn’s foodie adventures (yes, Katlyn runs a food blog and is always DTE: Down To Eat), this best-friend duo brings all the sass, laughter, and “sister energy” to the house hunt. Because when these two are together, there’s no such thing as boring real estate, there’s only cocktails, chaos, and a whole lot of fun.

Real Estate Agent: Caroline, Corpus Christi, TX

Caroline is the Texas sweetheart who can sell your house by noon and fillet a redfish by dinner. A born-and-raised Coastal Bend local who knows everyone from your Pre-K teacher to the bait shop owner, she jumped into real estate at 18 and never looked back...because excellence looks better in forward motion. Sure, people sometimes underestimate her because of her age; five minutes into a showing they realize she’s the shark in the shallow end. She is smart, strategic, and scarily good at the deal. When she’s not turning house hunting into a laugh-filled, low-stress adventure, she’s on the water with her husband (he’s a fishing guide, obviously), talking tides, comps, and closing costs between casts. Caroline’s also a social-media ninja who makes listings pop and buyers stop. Her content is funny, fast, and wildly clickable (ask her about the viral sourdough listing video). Hunt, fish, negotiate, repeat: that’s Caroline and that’s why she wins!
