The best agents are in the industry to get better at what they do and grow their business. In order to do this, great agents work to provide better service for their clients and differentiate themselves. It's up to Realtors to demonstrate the difference in value; they may charge more, but they justify it with stellar service. In fact, sellers often net more by hiring a Realtor who has credibility and expertise in the field. David has been in the business since 1972 - even longer than I have! That's why we listen to what he has to say: we truly believe in learning from the best! He goes around the world talking to people in real estate and sharing his advice, so I'm very glad I've had the chance to spend some quality time with him! David started making videos for agent's years ago. Not long into doing that, he realized that he could benefit buyers, sellers, and homeowners with these videos. He now has a line of 6 consumer videos that cover how to price your home right, how to select the right agent, how to prepare your home for sale, and many other topics! We want to share these videos with you because we think they could be very beneficial. Give me a call or shoot me a quick email and I'll share this great resource with you! Hope to hear from you soon!

We're back at North Shore to give you some more great information on this fantastic new subdivision. It's a 300-lot development just north of highway 370 and south of the Lincoln Highway. The easiest way to find it is to head to Warner Park and go to the far Northwest corner of the parking lot. There, you'll see all of the construction going on around Prairie Queen Lake.  We would love to give you a complete list of the 18 builders working here, as well as a list of the available lots. North Shore is the first of 13 new subdivisions that will be developed in Papillion and Gretna. Some developers in other new subdivisions are getting greedy and raising lot prices well above what they're worth. Here, you'll find higher-quality lots priced from $45,000 to $60,000, which is a steal!  There are a few homes with a view of the lake available, as well as a handful of walkout lots. There will also be a new elementary school just across the street, Prairie Queen, so stay tuned for more information on that. Visit our Facebook page for more information. If you're interested in this fantastic area, don't hesitate to give us a call. We would love to help you get a place in North Shore before it's all filled up!

Many people are unaware of the amazing things going on in Papillion today. The area is consistently named in the top 10 places to work and raise a family. The schools are fantastic and, much like Elkhorn, when the need for more educational facilities arise they are always promptly funded. For example, the new North Shore subdivision will have a brand new school within it. Prairie Queen Elementary is the latest, but there is a middle school coming and they're talking about building another high school! There are many military people with advanced degrees living in the area. Since education is clearly very important to them, they want their kids to have access to great schools that offer a a high level of education. If you want to build a home out here, you'll be able to enjoy the recreation area, the ballpark, and the surrounding area in addition to the great educational opportunities. Werner Park is right across the street from the North Shore development. The ground has been deemed an entertainment zone, so some of the sales tax that is generated will go back into the area to promote other forms of entertainment. Fireworks and concerts are a regular occurence, and there is a chance a water park or ice rink may be constructed in the area. Needless to say, there is A LOT going on here in Papillion. If you're interested in checking out what's sure to be the next hot spot in the Omaha area, give us a call! We'd love to show you this fantastic up-and-coming area!

The first thing we would say about that is that cracks are very common, even in brand-new multimillion dollar buildings, like the one feature in our above video. The rule of thumb for concrete cracks is that if the crack is deeper than a 1/4 inch, there is cause for concern. However, if the crack is less than a 1/4 inch thick, you have nothing to worry about. It's normal, especially in Nebraska, to have lots of small cracks in the concrete in your home.If you have any questions or concerns about the concrete in your home, be sure to give us a call or send us an email. We would be glad to help you with whatever you need.

Today I am taking some calls in the beautiful office here at 555 Riverfront Plaza in Downtown Omaha. Not only is the office clean, big, and comfortable, it also includes a large aquarium! See for yourself in the video above.  Homes like this don't come up for sale very often, so when they do, it's always a big deal. I can't remember a property like this ever being listed in my 35 years in the business. This is an absolutely incredible property to take a look at.  If you head over to 555Omaha.com, you'll find out all the details regarding this property, including the fact that it is a complete smart house, and lights, electronics, and temperature settings can all be controlled from your smartphone. In addition to the physical space, this property comes with a 24/7 concierge service who will help you do anything, from cooking dinner to wrapping presents.  If you want to take a look at this property, give me a call sooner than later. This is going to go fast, don't wait another second!

Omaha is such an awesome city with a great and diversified economy. We are blessed to be able to have both corporate Omaha and a large military base right here in town.  In 2006 and 2007, the rest of the country took a major economic hit, and unemployment skyrocketed. However, in Omaha, we remained at less than 5% unemployment. As of now we are under 2.5%. We have companies moving here constantly and one major international corporation is looking to put their global headquarters here. And of course, you can't forget about the College World Series. So if you have any questions about investing in Omaha, or know somebody who is, give us a call or send us an email. We would be glad to help you discover the benefits of owning property in this wonderful city!
