Questions to Ask a Potential Listing Agent

“To whom it may concern I am taking time to write this letter of recommendation for Jenn Jones because of the exceptional job she has done for me and my family with our recent home purchase in Omaha. The home was not a particularly expensive one it was a starter home for our son. We are not from the area and had to travel to Omaha.(3 hour trip) Jenn spent all day on Sat and Sunday showing us homes after we contacted her just 24 hours before because the realtor we had lined up canceled our appointment. As mentioned above, she represented us on the purchase side of the transaction. I also would not hesitate to use her as my listing agent if I were selling a property. She is very smart and knows her stuff. She knows what a good heating and cooling system looks like. She knows foundations, if the house is wired properly, she knows the building codes, all the in’s and outs of a well-built home, but most importantly she knows the area. I was so confident in her knowledge of the structures and the area after spending two days with her; I did not even look at the house we eventually bought, she made the call. It turned out great for our son and she even talked my wife out of offering more money than we bought it for! These transactions can sometime become very complex and she handled the whole thing for us. I have the highest level of confidence in her and feel she would be able to accurately assess any situation and figure out an effective solution. In future transactions, I will only have Jenn represent me for buying or selling. If you have any questions, I would be happy to email or talk with prospective clients to provide feedback on our very positive experience. Feel free to contact me at cardiaccrewag@gmail.net Peter, Andrea and Ryan Crew”

“Bud, and Jane, Thomsen were excellent to work with as indicated by all of my selections. Responsiveness and detail oriented are critical attributes that both possess. They understand the requirements of a Bank Trust Department which are not the same as an individual. Pleased with our Sale together! Janet”

“This company is exceptionally represented by Nikki King. If all employees possessed her work ethics, there would be no issues or grievances of any kind! Nikki was determined to see things through to the end, making sure there were no loose ends to help us find the right home for us. We were amazed to learn of her young family at home because she always addressed our questions, concerns and needs. Nikki’s professional level, energy, spirit and commitment is second to none!”

“Jenn Jones is a very professional breath of fresh air!!”

“Ted is an honest, hard working and knowledgeable pro! I have bought and sold numerous properties with Ted and will only use him in the future, he is fantastic!”

“Sarah Stumme is an excellent choice if looking for an agent! She is kind, knowledgeable, and invested in making sure you find your dream home. I would recommend her to anyone.”

“Victoria Vopalensky was truly the best through the whole process. Answering any and all questions and reminding me to stay confident in decisions I made. When Victoria didn't know, she was quick to get feedback from her team to help me make educated decisions. Quick to respond and get things scheduled. Went above and beyond with everything.”

“Sarah did a great job of walking me through the buying experience and providing local market feedback and coordinating with both the mortgage company, condominium board and my parking vendor. She was also accommodating to my travel schedule.”

“I would recommend Phil Knudson because of his knowledge, honesty and willingness to help out his clients beyond just ‘getting the house’.”

“Victoria was absolutely amazing. We were visiting from out of state. She set up a showing right away and really listened to what we were looking for in a home. We really trusted her input about homes and neighborhoods. We could tell she really wanted to find us the perfect home and not just make a sale. She continued to work hard finding us the perfect home after we left. Once we found our perfect home she was amazing point of contact when completing the purchase. She was always so responsive and had answers to any questions we asked. She made the whole process so easy. It was like we were going through it with a friend.”

“Lee did a great job explaining everything in detail about the sales process. I was expecting on selling my property for a certain price and he made that happen. I was impressed on how fast my house sold. Very satisfied with choosing Lee to be my agent.”

“Ted found my last purchase, negotiated a great price and when it was time to sell the property, Ted suggested a list price above my expectations. The property sold for above ask.”

“I really enjoyed working with Kelli, she was great very patient and understanding and with this be my very first home we both narrow down what I was looking for what I needed and she was able to provide me with that”

“Tim and his team were quite friendly to work with and very communicative. I understood and appreciated my situation and met my expectations to a T. I would recommend him again in a heartbeat. Thank-you Sir!!”

“My wife and I are first time home buyers and didn't really know much about the process of buying a house. When asking some friends who recently bought a home in Omaha, they referred us to Lance Zechmann specifically because of their great experience with him during their first home purchase. Lance was a phenomenal agent for us in every aspect of our process! Lance is very down to earth, asked us what we were looking for in a house, location, likes and dislikes, and literally anything else we could think of pertaining to our purchase. He was extremely easy to contact at any time of day and also was EXTREMELY fast about getting us viewings when we told him the houses that we would like to see (from the list he tailored specifically for us). specifically we asked him 10pm one night to see 3 houses and got to see them all the next morning/afternoon. My wife and I appreciated his speediness and flexibility as we were wanting to move into our new house before my wife and I had our first baby (which worked with Lance's hard work!) He was also great about giving us advice on how to bid on a house and what questions to ask the sellers that we wouldn't have even thought of (like new roof and gutters for our new house after a hail storm a few years ago). We also appreciated his flexibility to work with us during our financial rocky road (being told that we were preapproved for loan by our bank person, and then having this pushed back until a later date). Lance worked hard to make this all work out for us and calm our anxieties on this process. He smoothed everything over and kept us sane in this crazy process. We would 10/10 recommend Lance for ANYONE who wants to buy a home, first time buyer or several time. We will be going back IF/when we sell our new house that we love!”

“We used Brian to buy our previous two homes. He was able to sell each house within days, and our offers were accepted right away also. He does not “fluff” and lie to us; I don’t feel like I’m being put through a sales plan (as someone who is in sales, I can easily recognize when it’s happening). He is always available for questions and will offer advice when we ask for it. We had a very difficult lender for our most recent purchase and I know Brian did way more than anyone else would have done to try and smooth out the bumps. We trust that he always has our best interest at heart. He is truly an example of a great real estate agent!”

“Nikki always ensured that i was up to speed with the information pertaining to the offer and guided me trough the each step of the process once the offer had been excepted.Nikki is a consummate professional and made my buying process as stress free as i think the process can possibly be.”

“Emily was great! We came from out of state and bought our house on line. She did an excellent job of communicating every detail with us. We highly recommend her!”

“Everything I wrote within the survey.”

“Matt was courteous and informative. He answered my texts immediately and kept me informed on the sale procedure and was direct and very easy to communicate with. I felt he was very ethical.”

“Mo was great at communicating and getting back to us in a timely manner. He was able to get answers from the other relator and sellers that we were working on within a timely manner. I would recommend Mo because he is willing to get things done and make it happen. He wants to make sure that his clients are aware of what is going on and making sure that they are getting the best service they can.”

“Sarah was very professional and genuinely interested in finding a property that met my needs. In looking at my home Sarah recommended an upgrade that will significantly improve the appearance and value of the home. After I closed on my house I discovered an exterior light that it appeared to not have an identified light switch. I reached out to Sarah and she immediately reached out to the seller's realtor to find out how the light is controlled. You will enjoy the house hunting experience when you work with Sarah.”

“Jenn did a amazing job looking at the details of the homes we had looked at and explaining faults of the homes as well as explaining any questions i had about the whole process. She was patient and always willing to help with the process anytime i asked. I couldn't have asked for a better relator to help me buy my first house.”

“The entire experience was very smooth. Andrew did a great job. I was always able to reach Andrew via phone call, text or email. He was readily available. I appreciated that. All of the other support staff at kwELITE, communicated well. I was kept up to speed with the process. It was quite simple and I liked that.”

“Jenn was such a pleasure to deal with. She answered all of my questions and concerns about buying out of State. She went the extra mile to accommodate an out of State and needy buyer. I will only use her in the future”

“Kelli did a great job on finding me a new house. Kelli is very knowledgeable on buying homes and made the process easy for me. Im very satisfied with the purchase of my new home. I will definitely recommend Kelli to family and friends.”

“Morgan Putnam carries out the the mission of Kw ELITE with truly ELITE customer service. We wish her well as she is certain to have a great future in the realty business. If you are looking for a realtor to be responsive to your needs and provide second to none service in all aspects of your search, decision and purchase then simply choose Morgan Putnam as your agent.”

“Kim was recommended by our daughter's friend. We scheduled a meeting to get to know her, and she addressed all our needs and requirements intuitively. Kim immediately treated us as individuals, not merely as business clients. With the crazy market right now, it was great to have Kim not only understand our needs and desires, but also to understand the market. When I had any questions or concerns, Kim answered them promptly. We always felt that Kim was on our side, looking out for us. We were really impressed when Kim was able to get the buyer to change lenders in order to get an appraisal done promptly.”

“Jenn worked with my schedule and made it easy to schedule showings. Jenn communicated often and made sure my first time home buying experience easy.”

“Kim went above and beyond for me and my family, I wouldn't recommend anyone else! Thank you so much for everything you've done!”

“Kim was amazing. She went above and beyond for our family. I'd recommend her to my friends.”

“Ella siempre estuvo bastante atenta a cualquier petición enfrente al proceso de compra y las especificaciones de la casa. Pronta respuesta a cualquier mensaje o llamada y no se limitó en el tiempo respondiendo a cualquier pregunta que se le hiciera. Excelente persona y muy profesional.”

“Morgan did an awesome job helping me find the perfect home. She knew exactly what I was looking for and made the search easy. She explained everything in detail.”

“Sarah was awesome to work with and did a wonderful job selling our home!!! Would defintely use her again!!!”

“If you’re in the market for a new home, Lee Curtis and his team should be your first call. They are attentive and will go above and beyond your expectations. He provides prompt responses whenever we have a question. As a first time home buyer, he made this transaction as smooth as possible! Thanks Lee!”

“I would go through K. W elite again”

“Andy was able to sell my house & have it under contract in 5 hours! Not only is he trustworthy & honest...he made selling the house fun!”

“My dad went on the loan with me, and God bless Jen, she did a great job being patient with him and being extremely knowledgeable. I learned soooo much from her, and how we tried to snag that house before it came on the market. As a first time homebuyer, there were things I didn't even think about, like a sump pump. She was very knowledgeable and knew about basements structure and where to look for flaws. She helped me understand what the markets been like and great negotiation tactics to try and get the home! It's not just the amount of the house”

“She does an awesome job, above and beyond.”

“Mo was great to us! He helped us understand the things we did not and he helped make the things we did understand even more clear than before. He was patient with us as we seen numerous homes and was always straight forward with us during the process. He was always professional and made my wife and I feel comfortable about making a life changing decision. Without Mo and people like John Major and Meriya and a number of others behind the scenes we would have been more intimidated by the process and as a result we would likely still be renting. So thanks Mo, John and Meriya for helping us find and make our first home a reality! We greatly appreciate all of you!”

“Emily went above and beyond the call of duty searching for a house in our price range, videoing it on You-tube so we could see and hear her commentary, and taking care of all the details. We were from out of state and never even saw the house in person until the day of closing. Emily was superb!”

“As a real estate investor it can be difficult to find an agent who understands the REI arena and the different strategies employed. Michael not only understood what I was wanting to do but was also using these same methods for his own investing. This helped tremendously throughout the whole process as he anticipated my next move and had the solutions already in place. In every step of the process Michael exceeded my expectations to the point where he get more like my business partner than my realtor. Being an out of state investor, this added level of service was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Michael Freed to anyone in the REI game or anyone looking to start investing.”

“Sarah pretty much standing by us always even though we had hiccup along the way. She is there with us. Thank You Sarah. Sarah is looking out for her client. Sarah is friendly Knowledge and excellent Understanding”

“Martha was very helpful with her assistance of purchasing my home. I am very satisfied and would recommend Martha to other people who are looking to buy.”

“Sarah was really helpful throughout the process and understand what we want, she was really friendly and we can’t ask for more. She really did a great job, even my kids love her.”

“Emily carries herself in a very professional manner. She replied to my phone calls, text messages, and emails in a quick and timely manner. Emily also made herself available for and questions or concerns that I had. I would highly recommend Emily Lynch to anyone who is looking for their new home.”

“Ted was instrumental in helping us understand the Omaha market for investment properties. He went above and beyond what we expected from an investor agent and got us into a new property in less than a month. We would highly recommend Ted to anyone looking to invest in rental properties in the Omaha market. Ted is a real estate investor himself, which means he has a very good understanding of the unique considerations when purchasing investment properties. We look forward to working with him again for future property acquisitions.”

“Nothing about this process was what I expected, and I mean that in the best possible way. I don't really know 'what' I expected this process to be like, but looking back I don't know why I was even the slightest bit stressed out. Jenn was absolutely amazing, from start to finish, any time there were questions she was right there with an answer! Jenn was extremely friendly, and accommodating (Especially considering we were buying a home during a global pandemic!) at no point did we feel misled, pressured, or rushed.. Jenn was happy to show us as many homes as we wanted to see and make adjustments based on our feedback! We did see a home that was PERFECT during an outing, but apparently it was so perfect someone literally put in an offer while we were still seeing houses! But by some amazing stroke of luck (Or she's seriously THAT good) she ended up showing us a house that was almost EXACTLY the same house, the only difference really is the way the basement is finished and the area but she literally found us ANOTHER of the house we loved but that sold before we could snatch it up, and at nearly $40,000 what the first one was listed at! Even after our closing Jenn has been in touch, we had a question as we lost the Alarm codes we were provided at closing for instance (Which is 100% our fault) but Jenn replied right away and got them for us again, and not even just with questions but multiple times she's checked in just to ask how unpacking is going and to congratulate us on our new home.. It feels more like I had a friend helping us buy a home than someone I had literally never met before November!”

“Ted was instrumental in helping us understand the Omaha market for investment properties. He went above and beyond what we expected from an investor agent and got us into a new property in less than a month. We would highly recommend Ted to anyone looking to invest in rental properties in the Omaha market. Ted is a real estate investor himself, which means he has a very good understanding of the unique considerations when purchasing investment properties. We look forward to working with him again for future property acquisitions.”

“Sarah was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire home buying process. She exceeded expectations at every turn. She was available when we needed her and made the craziness of home buying actually enjoyable! We would recommend Sarah to anyone looking to buy a home.”
