What Others Say

I want to thank you (Teri Ernst) for the time, expertise, and patience you provided to us as we managed the process of selling our home. We are grateful to have found an agent that understood, and cared about, the emotional complexities attached to the sale of a home that our family owned for over 50 years. You are a model for other agents and a credit to your profession. My most sincere gratitude for the role you played during this pivotal point in our lives.
- Les Monroe

Teri Ernst renewed my faith in real estate agents and showed me just how hard these folks really can and do work. She kept me informed throughout every step of the process and was open and honest with us as sellers during a time when the truth could hurt. She was always kind and understanding, and she went above and beyond to get the job done for us. She sold our house in a tough market within a very reasonable time line. I would highly recommend Teri and Nebraska Home Sales to anyone seeking real estate guidance and representation.

I want to take a moment to say thank you to Katie Halperin for all of her help selling my home. I came into the process with a goal to sell my home within 90 days which she did even in an extremely challenging market in Lincoln. Most of the houses in my neighborhood have been on the market for months. Many for more than a year! We needed to sell quickly due to my husband’s new job in Atlanta and she worked hard to make that happen. She was professional, kept me informed and helped get my family back together in the same city quickly. I chose Katie as my realtor initially because she is a good friend and I know that she is a one sharp lady! I had feared that it would take me several months to get it sold and grateful that through her efforts it sold quickly. Thanks Katie!

John Hejl was excellent. He worked to sell our home and was very helpful in finding our new home.
- Glenn & Joan

Recently we sold our acreage with the help of Rich Rodenburg and Nebraska Home Sales. We were pleased with the professionalism and concern Rich gave us during the time that he represented us. The lines of communication were always open and he and Katie Halperin, both, were always responsive to the things we asked or needed. We would definitely consider using their services again for our future needs, and would recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell a home to utilize the great people at Nebraska Home Sales .
- Patrick and Wendy

Katie (Halperin), Thanks for your help during the whole process. Very professional.

Becky (Huebner) was an asset to have during the buying and selling of our homes. Not only was she our realtor but a friend who had our best interest in mind and kept us informed. During this economy it wasn’t easy to sell or buy a home and Becky was able to recognize the best opportunities for us and gave us multiple options to choose from. We will continue to utilize Becky’s abilities as a realtor in the future as well.
- Ryan and Shari Sanne

From the first time we met Teri Ernst, we were very comfortable with her. Teri was always very accommodating to work with our schedules when showing our home. She also went out of her way for Open Houses, which generated many interested clients. Teri kept us very well informed each time our property was shown. This was a very busy and stressful time in our personal lives. The house sold quickly and Teri assisted in the transition in every aspect. We were very happy to have Teri of Nebraska Home Sales assist us in the decision of selling our home and so will you.
- Duane and Brenda Novotny

Becky (Huebner) had more patience than should be expected from a real estate agent! We were never made to feel pressured to make a decision. We were given all of the information that we needed to make an informed decision on a property. We looked at 15-20 houses in our search for the perfect home. Becky was there every step of the way. She was always receptive to our input, as well as giving us her own when we asked for it. With two small children, it was difficult to find time during the day to look at potential homes. Becky was willing to meet us when it was most convenient for US, not what was most convenient for her. It’s was important for us to find an agent that we were comfortable with. Becky was that agent!
- Chris and Amy Kolbet

When Jessie (Johnson) came into our lives, we had lost all hope of selling our home. It had been on the market for six months without one interested party! Jessie listened to us with care and compassion, and then went to work. Within a week, our house was transformed into a show home, on a very small budget. After a month, in the middle of winter, we had an offer. No one could believe that a realtor would do all the work Jessie did for us. She took care of every single detail and went above and beyond the call of duty. When our parents moved to the Legacy Terrace, there was so much more involved than we ever expected. We truly believe that if Jesse had been in our lives at that time, the transition would have been much easier for everyone. I’m proud to say that Jessie was not just our realtor, she was a friend.
- Tom & Cindy (Christensen) Ukinski

When my Father was ready to move to assisted living he began his search for a realtor. Two of the realtors he contacted told him flat out they we not interested and another told him he’d come back once he was moved out. But Jessie (Johnson) told him “Let’s go”. She took care of everything like a true professional. What impressed me the most was how she treated my father with respect and true compassion. He still talks about her. I am forever grateful to her. She is one of a kind.

Lori (Wilkinson), it is difficult to put into words our deep appreciation for your service to us in the selling of our home. As the saying goes, “You did not leave any stone unturned.” At every point of concern you were there and helped us solve a multitude of challenges. Your advice we quickly accepted and acted upon.

At all times we knew you were working with us to sell our home, not just counting the cost of time and energy it took on your part. How many trips you made to our apartment only God probably knows. Your presence was a breath of fresh air for us. Thanks so much for all your good help. We would recommend you to anyone looking for a capable, trustworthy, and friendly Realtor. We are very willing to recommend Nebraska Home Sales to anyone who may ask us about our realty company.
- Chip & Janice Higgins

Sara and I would like to thank you (Katie Halperin) for your hard work I trying to get our house sold. We will certainly recommend you to our friends, as you’ve worked harder for us than any other Realtor we’ve tried.
- Paul and Sara

We really do appreciate you (Jessie Johnson) taking the time to help us in such a huge decision for our future!!!! It sometimes nice to know that someone is willing to take that little extra step for you.
- Edward and Karen

Wanted to thank you, Rich (Rodenburg), not just for selling our house, but because you and your partners had enough gumption to offer Lincoln homeowners options in real estate. The Lincoln market has always been closed (and we lived there for 35 years). When I settled a relative’s estate in the Chicago area, I learned that real estate commissions were NEGOTIABLE. Not so in Lincoln, until Nebraska Home Sales was born.

So thanks for doing a good job for us AND for being brave enough to challenge the local market. Best of continued success.
- Roger & Judy Olson

I just wanted to drop a line and say “thank you” for the prompt sale of my home. The signage, advertising, and open house showings moved my property in a hurry! The closing went well, even though I was out of state at the time. Your fee was lower than the large local realtors, thus saving me needed cash for my move.
- James A., Lincoln, NE

Buying and/or selling a house can be quite stressful and you were able to help keep me calm throughout the process. I know you went to bat for the house on a couple of issues and it really paid off. I know the hard work that you and your staff put into this and I just wanted to say thanks!
- Missy C. , Lincoln, NE

If anyone asks me whether I would ever use Nebraska Home Sales again or would recommend them to my family and friends, I would say “yes” without hesitation. Given my own experience with the dedication and professionalism of Nebraska Home Sales, I would think that anyone would be privileged to have them on your side. Katie (Halperin) and Rich (Rodenburg) will fight for your best interests while at the same time maintaining their personal and professional integrity. I could not have asked for better agents – or people I am now proud to call my friends and neighbors.
- Susan F., Professor of Law at the University of Nebraska

Rich(Rodenburg showed us great personal service and offered invaluable professional advice in our long search for the right home. My wife and I have no question that we would not have had such good success finding a beautiful home without Rich Rodenburg. He was friendly, professional, and competent. We will not hesitate to use Nebraska Home Sales in the future.
- Topher Hansen

John Hejl was the best. He helped me so much, since I am a first time buyer and didn’t know what I was doing.
- Ruth

We engaged Nebraska Home Sales to help us sell a townhouse. The residence is in an area where there are always several units being sold, and we knew that the market was difficult. The expert guidance and advice we received from NHS resulted in a sale within a few weeks and a closing shortly thereafter. The entire process went smoothly with virtually no bumps or surprises. It is apparent to us that Nebraska Home Sales’ agents have the experience, knowledge, and, most critically, the judgment to bring about a good result, even under difficult circumstances.
- Sarge and Gayle Dubinsky

John Hejl far exceeded our expectations of a realtor. He was truly wonderful.
- Tony & Amy

I have had contact with many realtors in the past, but none have compared with Teri Ernst. Teri has an upbeat, positive personality that is infectious. She promptly responded to any concerns or problems regarding the sale of my home. Even though I became discouraged at times, she was always understanding and patience. I highly recommend her.
- Lynn Hergenrader

John Hejl took extra time and effort in helping our new home be built the way we wanted.
- CM & SM

My experience with Nebraska Home Sales was superb. The price was right. We received excellent help in preparing our property for sale and a most appropriate selling price was recommended. Service was excellent and, most importantly, we sold the property in less than 10 days.
- RFS

We are very happy with the service that Rich (Rodenburg) provided to us in searching for our next home. Rich was very flexible in meeting with us at all hours of the day or evening, and was helpful in matching our interests with the right neighborhood and style of home. We are very appreciative of the positive energy that Rich Rodenburg and the Nebraska Home Sales staff gave to this very important step in our family’s life!”
- Kristi Newcomb

We have recently relocated back home to Lincoln and were referred to NHS through a friend; I am so glad we did. Katie (Halperin) and Rich (Rodenburg) were instrumental in helping us find all that we were looking for in a great home. The Nebraska Home Sales staff was very patient in handling all of our requests; we have always been very picky buyers. Their tireless efforts in finding the home we desired in the exact location were second-to-none. I truly believe Nebraska Home Sales goes above and beyond in ensuring customer satisfaction, and the personal relationships that we have established are a tribute to their great consideration and efforts in working in our best interests. Thanks Nebraska Home Sales.
- Brandon & Melissa

Considering the bearish market we were experiencing in the Fall of 2009, Teri (Ernst) used her professional expertise in real estate to list our house at precisely the exact price needed to sell our home in only 12 days! If that wasn’t impressive enough, she then helped in negotiating a great deal on our dream home where we moved in just two weeks later!
- Andy & Sara Wolfe

Rich (Rodenburg) and his colleague, Teri Ernst, have renewed my faith in real estate agents and shown me just how hard these folks really can and do work. He kept me informed throughout every step of the process and was open and honest with us as sellers during a time when the truth can hurt. He sold our house in a tough market within a very reasonable time line. I would highly recommend Rich and Nebraska Home Sales to anyone seeking real estate guidance and representation.
