What changes have you seen in the industry and your company in the past few years?
With the downturn in the economy and the housing bubble, we have seen the terms “short sales” and “foreclosure” become apart of our daily vocabulary, which made the real estate market a bit more challenging.

In 2012 we have seen a rebound in housing. In fact, depending on the price range, there is actually a bit of a shortage in Lincoln.

Maintaining the culture for the company. It’s easy to grow but we want to grow the right way. We are picky when it comes to selecting agents and aren’t will to accept just anyone.

Opening a brand new second office. We focused on what the agents need to be efficient and effective based on their input.
