We run rental property for a living. That changes how we sell yours.

Most agents have never run a rental. For 20 years we have operated a family-owned portfolio that now tops 850 doors, and we have bought and sold more than $10 million in rental and commercial property along the way.

That hands-on landlord experience gives us a unique understanding of what you deal with as an owner and what a buyer is really looking at. We read a rent roll the way a buyer does, and we know what a lender will ask for.

✓We understand the challengesTenants, turnover, repairs, and vacancy. We deal with all of it every day, so we know what a buyer will worry about and how to answer it.
✓We know market rentsWhat units in Lincoln really rent for, and where your rents stand against the market.
✓We know how to increase your property value for a saleWhich improvements and rent changes raise the price, and which ones are money you will not get back.
✓We position your property for the best sale priceThe numbers and the building are presented the way an investor needs to see them.

10Units

A 10-unit apartment building in Lincoln’s Near South neighborhood, sold for $980,000. At $98,000 a door, it brought a stronger price than comparable buildings were getting at the time.

That result came from strategy, not luck: how the building was prepared, priced, and presented to investors.
