" My husband and I connected with her on Zillow. She began by asking us what we wanted(rooms, garage etc). The first meeting we looked at tons of houses so that she could get a good idea of our style. The second meeting was pretty much houses we picked out and houses she felt fit our description. The house we decided to buy was not one on our list but hers and it was my dream home. Everyone knows the home buying process is stressful and Shelly was there throughout the whole process. At times when I would think negative she always reassured me things would be fine. If you are looking for a new home and want someone whose caring,kind, and dedicated Shelly would be the best person for the job. Not only am I in my dream home but I also gained a great friend in the process. "

Shelly is the first realtor that I have met that has put her clients interests above her comission where she treats you like family.

- Alex Shelton (Business Development Representative )

" How can we say this (me and my wife), Shelly is awesome, fantastic, superb, more than that but the words don't exist!!! From the first time we met her, she was family. She is genuine and sincere, she keeps her promises . She watches out for you, she will walk you through the pro's and con's of a home that you are looking at and the location based on your lifestyle which to me means, she wasn't just saying, "sure whatever, I'm making a commission anyway", and she was a hawk on the closing paperwork during signing. She worked tirelessly for us. My wife looked up realtors and saw her motto "I'll fight for you" as you can see it's true! We love this lady. If you are like me and don't like being hassled with aloof or disinterested realtors or sales people, the pressure and would rather just never mind; Shelly is like having a family member in the business to guide you through the process. You think the review is over the top? I am a man of few words and not impressed very easily. "

She worked so hard to help us find the right home for us, and that is absolutely what we found!!! She had contacts for everything we needed in the process, and it just made the entire experience so much less stressful. She was so responsive when we had questions or needed advice.

" My wife and I met Nick randomly when he showed us a house last fall. After that, we worked with him exclusively, as not only was he knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly, he genuinely cared about getting us into our perfect house. We were a little picky, but if there was a house we wanted to look at, Nick made it happen on our schedule (I work odd hours). When we finally found the house we wanted, Nick made the process of making an offer as easy as it can be, and kept me in the loop until the offer was accepted. Additionally, throughout the following month and a half until closing, he routinely checked in with us and answered any and every question we had. In fact, even after closing, he has helped connect us with professionals to help address a leak, and a chimney inspection. We went into this wanting a house, and came out with a home and a great friend. I would 11/10 recommend Nick and the rest of the Ragan team to any and everyone interested in buying or selling real estate. His knowledge of the markets, construction materials, material manufacturers, and even owning rental properties is almost encyclopedic. "

The first meeting we looked at tons of houses so that she could get a good idea of our style. The second meeting was pretty much houses we picked out and houses she felt fit our description. The house we decided to buy was not one on our list but hers and it was my dream home. Everyone knows the home buying process is stressful and Shelly was there throughout the whole process. At times when I would think negative she always reassured me things would be fine.

" I can't thank Nick enough. He helped me find my dream first Nebraska home. The entire process was so easy because of Nick. He came as a referral from my loan officer Dave Arkfeld, Lincoln Federal Savings Bank, NMLS #290570, and they worked seamlessly together to take the pressure off my shoulders. Nick used a dashboard to help me see perspective homes that met my price range and requirements, met with me multiple times to look at houses I liked, and helped me negotiate a deal on my dream house. If you are in the market, 10/10 use Nick. You won't regret it for a second. He is truly one of the best realtors I've ever met and will advise you to make the right decision for you, even if that means walking away from a house you might like because they want you to waive an inspection. Thanks for everything, Nick! You were amazing to work with. "

" We rolled into Omaha in July of 2020 for a job interview and look around the city. We decided to check out the real estate market and see what was available. My husband sent a message via Zillow, I believe and Kerri responded to us and was willing to show us some home. I was impressed with her as we had not even taken the job or decided on the move. I kept her card and when we decided to make the big move, we called Kerri. Since we decided to rent for a year first to feel out where we wanted to live, we kept in loose contact. We met for coffee and then when the market started to go crazy, we decided we wanted to build. She gave us a few places to look as she knew where we wanted to be. We passed Celebrity homes and decided to check them out and were the most happy with the homes we saw. Kerri helped us every step of the way and checked in on us as our home was being built. We are grateful and if we ever move from this home, we will give her a call. She was a great help to us and one of our first friends in Omaha. "

" I had a very positive experience purchasing a house in Omaha. I live on the west coast. Shelly was very accommodating by assisting me with home tours via FaceTime. We searched for about 5 to 6 months. On every phone call and FT tour she greeted me with a smile. Once finding my property, she was very thorough making sure nothing was missed especially because I was purchasing the property without seeing it in person. I always felt that Shelly had my back and personal best interest. I never felt that she was just trying to close a deal. I would use Shelly again for future real estate transactions. "

Shelly has a host of connections to help with a storage unit, local movers, and a furniture repair person. We heartily recommend Shelly for your "NextHome"! " "
