If you need to sell your current home and buy the next one at the same time in Contra Costa or Solano County, The Davis Team at eXp Realty makes sense when you want one team running both halves of the move. The team is based at 2525 Bayfront Blvd in Hercules and has 106 Google reviews, 4.9 average (Google Business Profile, checked November 9, 2026).
When does one team for both moves make sense?
You are moving up or moving down. Brandon put it simply: “Sold my first home and upgraded to a new home with Bill.” (Brandon, 5 stars, March 2021). Audre’s January 2026 review and Josh’s April 2021 review also describe a sale and a purchase handled together.
You are trading one city for another inside the two counties. The team keeps local guides for 31 places in Contra Costa and Solano County (davisteamexp.com, October 2026), so both sides of the move draw on the same research.
You want quick answers while two files are open. Reviews point to follow up and fast replies (Darbi, January 2026; Francisco, November 2024), which matters when two escrows overlap.
You want a group behind your agent. You get an assigned team agent, with the rest of the team ready to step in. A June 2024 review from a client named K says everyone on the team contributed to getting them to the finish line.
What about timing, contingencies and rent-backs?
This is the hard part, and no agent can promise how it will line up. A sale contingency, a bridge loan or a rent-back are common tools, each with costs and risks that depend on your loan and contract. Talk to a lender about financing before you write an offer, and take contract questions to a real estate attorney.
When might another route fit better?
If your next home is outside Contra Costa and Solano County, an agent local to that market may suit the buying side. And if selling fast with certainty matters more than price, an instant offer on your current home could be worth comparing. Commissions are negotiable and not set by law, so ask for the terms in writing.

Questions people also ask
Should I sell first or buy first?
It depends on your equity, your loan approval and how much risk you can carry. A lender can show you what each order would cost before you decide.
Will Bill Davis work on both my sale and my purchase?
Ask on the first call. You are paired with an assigned team agent, and reviews mention both Bill and team agents.
How do I find out what my current home is worth?
Start with the free home value page, then ask a team agent for a local price review.
