We compare relevant sales and competing listings, explain the tradeoffs in the recommended range and choose a list price together. Condition, location, layout and competition all matter. A county median or online estimate cannot answer every question about your house.
Sell your house in Lincoln, NE. Without fighting for every dollar.
Before you spend money preparing your house, let's work out what matters for the sale. We'll review comparable homes, discuss a realistic pricing range and agree on the work and timing that fit your situation.
Start with the price conversation
Choose how much help you want
Basic: Your house is ready and you want help handling the sale. Professional photography, MLS distribution, showing management and transaction coordination are the foundation.
Standard: Add professional cleaning, a pre-listing inspection and the agreed marketing plan. We help you decide which preparation items deserve attention; you generally arrange and pay for your repairs.
Full Service: Everything in Standard, plus hands-on coordination of the agreed preparation and services through closing. We document the scope, expected costs and responsibilities before work begins. If we agree to advance seller expenses, those costs are reimbursable under the signed agreement; they are not a repair gift or an automatic allowance.
Who this is for
Young family outgrowing your starter home. You've got kids, a dog, maybe a leaky roof you've been putting off. The next house is out there, but this one has to sell first without draining your savings on repairs.
Or, you're stuck. Divorce. Job relocation. Inherited the place and don't know what to do with it. The house has problems. The timeline's tight. You need someone who doesn't flinch at the messy stuff.
That's the part of this job I'm best at.
"We recently sold our house, and Wade made the process very seamless. From getting our house show ready, to managing offers, and up until closing day he brought professionalism and great communication throughout."

How long does it take to sell a house in Lincoln NE with you?
Timing depends on the preparation your house needs, the price we choose and the response from buyers. We’ll agree on a preparation plan and discuss the timing that fits your situation. A sale or closing date cannot be guaranteed.
What if my house needs a lot of work?
That's actually where I do my best work. I've sold houses with leaky roofs, old HVAC, bad carpet, dated kitchens, and worse. I have a trusted network of contractors and a system for getting prep done fast. The worse the condition, the more value I bring.
Do you work with sellers who live out of state?
Yes. Inherited property, relocations, investment sales. I handle everything remotely if needed. Virtual walk-throughs, DocuSign for contracts, coordination with any tenants or family members. You don't have to come back to Lincoln unless you want to.
What commission do you charge?
Standard Lincoln market commission, but let's talk. What I do is different than what most agents do, and the value I bring, especially on distressed or deferred-maintenance houses, is worth a real conversation. I'll give you a straight number on our first call.
What if I owe more than the house is worth?
Short-sale and distressed situations are something I handle regularly. Let's talk on a free, no-pressure call and I'll walk you through your options, including some that don't involve selling at all.
