Questions to Ask a Potential Listing Agent

“Eric is a fabulous agent! He is so intelligent, thoughtful and considerate when it comes to his clients. Eric truly gets to know his clients like they are a part of his family. This was my first time buying a home and it was the most simple and easy process because Eric helped me along the whole way! If I called, he answered, if I text, he responded! When I was nervous and didn't know what to do, he broke it down and didn't make the decision(one of the biggest in my life), to be stressful. In fact, he did the exact opposite and helped ease my worry, I worried a lot! He's one of the best agents out there and it shows through in his love for what he does! I will and I do recommend Eric to people looking to buy a home! Overall my purchase experience was wonderful! I still can't even believe we got a ranch, in West O for less the appraisal came back for in this market! Even at Closing, which was scary for me, he was there to help walk me through the process. I can't say enough positive things about Eric and his commitment as an agent. I hope everyone has a chance to work with Eric when purchasing a home because he is a ROCKSTAR! When I came in to closing at kwElite, I was introduced to several people. EVERYONE was incredibly friendly and warm. I absolutely loved the entire office and team members! I couldn't get enough of the vibe there either. The office at kwElite was beyond a job, or a place of business, it felt like a home! Overall, kwElite and Eric Carraher gave the best experience when buying a new home. I couldn't have been happier enjoying what could have been a stressful situation in this market! Thank you to Eric and kwElite!”

“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!!”

“Man of integrity and easy to do business with!”

“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!”

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

“Lance was very helpful and patient with us as we were house hunting from out-of-state. There were multiple instances where I would text Lance an address of a home we were interested in seeing (virtually, of course), and he would immediately fire back a text saying he knew we'd want to see that one and he'd already reserved a time to go check it out. He knew exactly what we were looking for, until we changed our minds, which is when his patience was truly appreciated. When he "showed" us houses he would take multiple videos and narrate them, pointing out things he knew we would want to see or things he knew we would/wouldn't like, all the while throwing in his fun and fresh quips here and there. It really felt like we were walking the house with him. There was one home we only saw thru Lance's virtual showing, and we were confident enough in his analysis and advice that we put an offer in sight unseen. His attention to detail was fantastic and much appreciated, as the small details of each home were important to us. When it came time to put offers in, he made the process simple and easy, and offered his professional expertise and advise, but never pressured us or was overbearing. He made us feel confident and comfortable with our offers. Again his patience was on full display while we contemplated offer details, often into the late hours of the day. Once we finally found our home, and the offer was accepted, Lance walked us thru the closing process making sure we understood exactly what was going on, what was needed, and what the process would be closing from out-of-state. We felt like Lance would go to any lengths for us during our home buying process. In fact, I even asked Lance to go check out the basement of a home we were interested in during a torrential downpour to see if there was water coming in. Within the hour, I received two videos showing a very dry basement from what I can only guess was a very sopping wet (but most assuredly smiling) Lance behind the camera. We would absolutely recommend Lance to anyone looking to buy a home in the Omaha metro area.”

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

“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.”

“1. Communication was on point with inspections. No surprises, and the inspectors were punctual and cooperative. 2. Though Andrew has never lived in Wellington heights where we sold our house, or the neighborhood of the one we purchased, he did his research and brought more to the table than I expected. May have been due to his excellent ability to build proper expectation, but all information was relevant and led to our desired outcome! 3. Price negotiation was great on the sale of the home, and I am convinced that we maximized profit due to Andrew's approach and involvement, versus doing a private sale (given my lack of experience in realty). 4. Contracts were very well broken down and simplified so that we could understand what we were agreeing to! 5. On the date of Closing, Andrew went above and beyond in running the check between title companies and explaining the process of closing on a sale and purchase in the same day! 6. Andrew's attention to detail was phenomenal! Nothing slipped through the cracks to our awareness. His recommendations in every area served us well. We are substantially pleased with his service and involvement!! I didn't pick kw Elite, I picked Andrew Peterson. But I support any business that he works for! I know that kw Elite has invested a lot in him. This guy has maybe the greatest character of anyone I've met in our generation. I intend to use him for all of my real estate needs. He provided phenomenal service, having a wealth of knowledge, and being prompt on all responses and answers. What a great experience! We're in Love with our new home, and highly satisfied with the price agreement on the house we sold!”

“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!”

“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.”

“He is the eye of the storm. When all else can be confusing and crazy, Bud is calm and can explain things out. Stay with him, and the process will be smooth and worked out.”

“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.”

“Tyson is the perfect combination of high energy and low pressure. He is focused and thorough. Give him a list of your wants and he will make a list of properties. This is the second home he has found for us, and if we choose to move again, Tyson will be our realtor again.”

“I was able to communicate with Martha in my primary language, she is dedicated and committed to her job. And always answer any questions with great costumer service. Always answer any questions that I had even late even late at night, Always friendly and kind.”

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

“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 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.”

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

“She listened to what type of home we were looking for and did an excellent job helping us find the perfect home! We loved working with Diana! She was very open and honest about everything Her attention to detail is outstanding! She is the best!! I can’t rave enough how well Diana helped us find our perfect home!!”

“We absolutely loved working with Nikki! She always made time to work with us, and she was very patient and helpful with all of the questions we had throughout the home-buying process. Nikki always did everything she could to help us and get things taken care of. We absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home!”

“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.”

“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.”

“This was the second home Tyson helped us find and buy, and the first home he helped us to sell. Being first time home sellers, there was a lot to learn and understand, but Tyson made it so easy and quick. He made sure we knew we could ask questions at any time and get clear, quick answers. We’ve always felt confident that he would be honest with us and help us get the best deal possible. Tyson is a hard worker, patient, kind and honorable. We love working with Tyson and he will always be our go-to realtor that we’ll send friends and family to. Thanks again Tyson! We love our new home!”

“Nikki was on top of every detail. We were not used to finding a home in a market that was going so fast from finding to purchase agreement. She helped us navigate through this and gave us the pointers we needed to purchase our home. I can’t say enough about how wonderful Nikki is and how well she worked with us. She was very patient with us throughout the entire experience. For all the reasons already indicated I would recommend Nikki to anyone looking for a home in the Omaha market. Nikki was the most helpful real estate agent we have ever worked with in buying homes over the past 40 plus years!”

“I do love working with Jack Hill and Matt both are so patient with excellent communications and they are available all the time when needed. I will always recommend a friend or family to them. Thank you”

“I really had a great working relationship with Bud Thomsen from the start. He answered my questions and guided me in the correct direction. Very knowledgeable and friendly and helpful when answering questions.”

“Emily was AMAZING! Exceptional market knowledge and knew/understood exactly the type of property we wanted. She's a great listener and provided the right amount and quality of feedback at all times -- even if we might not have wanted to hear it -- to help us navigate a very tight market. Outstanding negotiation skills -- knows how to get a deal done and drive both sides to best outcome. Finally, she has an extensive network of other professional that proved critical in completing the transaction plus helped us in the post transaction weeks with all the things that come up when you move into a new home. She has my highest recommendation and will definitely use her again.”

“Kind and helpful and very knowledgeable”

“Bud was great to work with and everything was done in a professional manor.”

“Here's the short and skinny of it: Tyson Parker knew what was going on, got things done, and must have a tongue made of gold. When we got to the negotiation phase for the house I ended up buying, due in large part to Tyson, things went smoothly and everything that I needed to get done got done. I honestly couldn't recommend Tyson more. Great guy who's great at his job.”

“Always a pleasure working with Angie!”

“Angie was amazing while Assisting us with locating a new home and selling ours.”

“I had worked with Bud previously when I had purchased that house about 9 years ago. He was extremely attentive to what I was looking for, was honest, respectful, and truly helpful! I loved my home and wanted no one but Bud to help me sell it and find a new one for my growing family!”

“Jenn Jones is a awesome agent for even a first time buyer. She is willing to offer great advice and isn’t pushy in which home to purchase. She is easy to get a hold of and is a super help every step of the way, and even after purchase. She also works with an amazing team that is willing to help out in any way.”

“Angie was our agent when we bought the house almost 8 years ago. She did a great job then and a great job now. We had moved out of town at about the same time we listed the house for sale. Angie made sure everything was taken care of. She went above and beyond. Couldn't be happier. I have full faith and trust in Angie as an agent and a friend. Thanks again Angie.. Job well done.”

“Nikki King is the perfect choice for any real estate needs you might have. She is helpful, friendly, very detailed oriented and professional in every way. We had the smoothest experience we have ever had in purchasing a home. Thank you for employing such an amazing real estate broker!!”

“We asked our selling agent, Dan Armstrong, if he could recommend somebody in the Omaha market and he provided us with Kim's number. We did not do any research about her because of our long-term trusting relationship with Dan. It was immediately apparent upon speaking with Kim, and then working with her, that she is an extremely experienced and knowledgeable Realtor. We really felt like we were in good hands with her and her team. Kim was very easy to talk to, down to Earth, and not at all pushy. She not only made us feel excited and confident about finding a perfect home but also made us feel welcome in our new home city of Omaha. Buying a home in this fast-paced market is stressful, especially when in an unfamiliar city. Kim's professionalism made us feel confident that we would find the perfect home (in the single day we had to house hunt in the area!) and that our offer would be accepted. She and her team have truly been a bright spot on our life-changing journey of interstate moving!”

“Nikki King did a great job handling all aspects of the home buying and selling transaction. She made herself very available for any questions or concerns that we had and was always quick to answer texts. The process was very smooth and it was great working with her!!! Definitely recommend!”

“Knowledgeable of sales area. Presented data to base listing price. Polite and great to work with and updating information. House sold in a fee hours. Great agent. Would recommend Tyson Compton. Presents himself as knowledgeable and reliable.”

“We have used Andy in the past and it was a no brainer having him help us sell our home. He always extremely helpful and always makes sure all of our questions are answered. Would choose him again if we had to list again.”
