Selling, buying, and moving your family — all at the same time.

That's the part nobody warns you about.
That's where I come in.

I'm Wade Bartels. I help young families in Lincoln move up from the house they've outgrown to the one they'll raise their kids in — with one plan, one move, and none of it on your shoulders.

You can't buy until you sell.

You don't want to sell with nowhere to go.

And the house needs work before it can even hit the market.

Most agents hand you a listing agreement and wish you luck with the rest. The selling part was never the hard part. The everything at once part is.

One plan.

We map your sale, your purchase, and your move before anything goes live. You see the whole play before you commit to any of it.

Your house, market-ready.

I front the prep work that makes your house sell — handled by my crews, settled at closing. A leaky roof shouldn't hold your family hostage.

One move.

No double moves. No two mortgages. No month in your in-laws' basement. We line up the timing so you move once.

Who I am.

Nebraska born and raised. I've got a family, a mortgage, and a house with its own list of projects — I get it. I'm an agent at SimpliCity Real Estate with support staff and agents working with me, so nothing about your move waits on one person's calendar.
