About Rick Nelson

I'm an Omaha native and a graduate of Central High School and UNO's Business Finance Program. After college graduation, I served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force for 20 years before retiring in 2007 as a Lt Colonel. My wife Charlotte and I have raised five amazing kids while living in Papillion, and I continued to serve the Air Force as a civil service employee for another 13 years, retiring from Air Force serve after 33 years in July of 2020. My love of helping people and my diverse experience in real estate over the past 30 years have led me to Nebraska Realty, where I'm excited to be able to provide guidance and assistance to my many friends in the local and military communities as they navigate the challenging task of finding the perfect home, or of selling a cherished home. I started my real estate business with one primary goal: To continue my lifelong commitment to serve my community. I have brought to my business my commitment to the Air Force Core Values, deeply ingrained in me after 33 years of service: Integrity first. Service before self. Excellence in all I do. I have established the following Mission Statement for my business: "Providing world-class customer service, responsiveness, education, and advice so that my clients can make the best possible decisions for their situation." My commitment to my clients is that I will: Listen first, advise second. Respond immediately to all requests. Base all decisions on what's best for my client, not what's best for me personally. I pride myself on being "relentlessly competent." It is my core belief that the job of a real estate professional is not "sales," but rather that of being an effective educator and expert advisor for all my clients. I enjoy sharing my life experiences with my clients to help provide the advice needed so they can make decisions that result in outstanding outcomes. As a military member who PCS'd 10 times in 20 years (and bought and sold 4 homes along the way), I can definitely relate to the anxiety and uncertainty military members face having to relocate to an unfamiliar part of the country, or having to sell a home quickly in order to move a family together to a next assignment. I've "been there, done that," and would love to help alleviate that stress for my military brothers and sisters! For my remote clients who can't house-hunt in person, I provide high-resolution video walk-throughs and expert analysis to help my clients make sound decisions when they purchase a home before arriving (which I realize can be a terrifying experience). As a former professional photographer, I'm also proud to offer free family portraits each year to each of my clients. I've been honored to have won the following awards: 2020 Nebraska Realty "Top 10 Agent" (#5 our of 800+ agents in Sales Volume) 2019 Nebraska Realty "Rookie of the Year" 2019 Nebraska Realty Top 10 Sales Agents (out of 720) Top Sales Agent, June 2020, July 2020, January, June, August and October 2019, Nebraska Realty Sarpy Office Top Listing Agent, July 2019, Nebraska Realty Sarpy Office Top Iowa Sales Agent, October 2019, Nebraska Realty

Rick has helped my family sell two homes this year, in quite different Omaha areas and to different levels of prospective buyers. His intuition for the market and advice on how to prepare each home was invaluable. His professional photos captured the properties in the most appealing fashion while still being truthful about condition. He walked us through each step, was readily available to answer questions, and wrote engaging ads for each house. We felt confident in his service, appreciated his friendly and honest manner, and were very happy after each sale was completed.

Rick is amazing! We were very apprehensive about buying and selling our home of 22 years. Rick guided us through the process and made us feel so much at ease. We were determined to find our perfect retirement home, and Rick had incredible patience with us when even the smallest detail in a home was not what we wanted. He was also on top of every detail in the process of selling our home! We got a great price because of Ricks diligence in the market. This has been a great experience and we are so happy in our new home!

He was very responsive to our needs and went above and beyond for us. My wife left something in the house which we didn't discover until after we had moved. He secured the items for us and we were able to get them. His pricing was more than fair. I highly recommend this realtor, especially if you are a military family!

Rick was the best. He was answer any of our questions any time of the day. He would set up showings anytime that would work for us. Rick photos for selling our home were phenomenal! He sold our house faster than we ever expected. Rick goes above and beyond for his clients. Would recommend him to any and will definitely use him in the future.

Rick was a fantastic realtor! His deep knowledge of the area, as well as expertise knowledge of houses helped my family find the perfect house!My experience was that of a military member looking while still out of the area. Rick was patient with us as we sent him a ton of houses we wanted to look at from Zillow. He helped us really take into account what we really wanted AND needed from our new home (things such as living space, size, architecture, etc.), and that really helped us narrow down our search. I remember the first house that we asked him to show us via a Zoom call; the house had great pictures, yet he was able to respectfully point out areas that a buyer should have concerns about. I could trust that he really had my family's best interests at heart, and his knowledge on housing was really nothing I'd ever experienced before!When we finally found the house that was perfect, Rick was quick to Zoom call a walk-through and provide his thoughts. Fortunately for us, the previous owners took good, lovingly care of it, and the concerns were few and minor. He told us that from what he knows, the neighborhood is family friendly and is well kept, and he thought it was perfect for us. I can say with 100% certainty that his assessment was perfect! We are completely satisfied with our new home, and Rick was an indispensable part of our home-hunting experience.My experience with Rick is better than I could have hoped for; he went well out of his way to ensure we found the right house, and his services far exceeded my expectations. If you're in need of a Real Estate Professional in the Omaha area, I'd put my full recommendation into working with Rick Nelson and his team!
