" Look no further for an agent as it will be hard to top the Ragan team in all things needed in Real Estate. Nick and Shelly went above and beyond in helping us sell our house. From the pricing, to staging, and cutting through the red tape, we achieved the best solution for our sale. They were extremely helpful in handling day to day requirements as we were remote much of the time at our new house out of state. If something needed handled, and I wasn’t around, they took care of it. If you’re looking for unsurpassed customer service and overall knowledge of the Real Estate market, I highly recommend Nick and Shelly. "

" In 2020-2021, I had the privilege of working with Kerri Monahan from the Ragan Team at Next Home and Don Igo of Celebrity Homes and I have nothing but great things to say about the home buying/building process. My experience went smoothly and I felt well informed throughout the months during which my home was being built. Kerri was always quick to respond to any inquiries I had and kept me updated on my house during the building stages. I would absolutely recommend Kerri and the Ragan team to anyone looking for a professional experience. "

- Brent Quandt (Attorney)

" 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. "

- Jennifer Bowman

" We were extremely happy with our Omaha Agent, Nick Ragan. He guided us to all the appropriate homes and provided valuable insight into the neighborhoods. We were moving from Chicago and his information was excellent. He was a life saver when we ran into problems with the sale of our home in Illinois. Nick provided guidance that saved the deal. Nick was recommended by our daughter who he helped a few years ago in finding her first home that's been wonderful. "

" my family and I relocated into the area from out of state and shelly did an amazing job helping us navigate the home buying process. She is very knowledgeable with the market conditions, school districts and gave very helpful and honest advice when it came time to put in an offer. At every point of the process we felt like she truly was looking out for our best interest and not just trying to get another deal done as quick as possible. we could not have asked for more from a realtor! "

- Zach Vail

" Nick did an unbelievable job of keeping us informed, providing guidance, and teaching us what we needed to know when looking for our new home. We were a little confused at times regarding exactly what we wanted in a new place. Nick was patient with us as we walked through the discovery process together. As time went along, the traits we were looking for became more and more clear. What we ended up with is a wonderful home that fits what our immediate and extended family will benefit from in the years to come. Thanks, Nick!!! "

We highly recommend Shelly and her team if you need a reliable, passionate and educated sales team. "

- Janet and Steve Anderson

" 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. "

- Wheeler Walz

- Djin Sie

" 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. "

- Xavier

" Nick made the entire process easy and so fun. He was always so quick at responding and always got us in right away, sometimes even within the day we contacted him.

Communicating with Nick was very easy and he was extremely responsive via phone, text, or email whenever we needed to get in touch.

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 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. "

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.

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. "
