What Our Clients Have to Say

Derk & Nicole Nelson
Kara,
Derek & I want to thank you for all your hard work. We are confident that without your involvement this transaction would not have happened. You went above & beyond taking control of a situation. We are forever grateful.
We tell everyone how amazing you were to work with & that your level of expertise & dedication are remarkable. I know we will be able to send business your way in the future you will always be the person we call first! As a token of our appreciation we hope that you accept this small gift.
Thank You Again,
(June 2011)

Richard & Nancy Adamson
I cannot tell you how much you how much Kara has helped us this year. We put our home on the market at the same time as our neighbor’s house. Our home had 10 times more traffic and we received an offer within 5 days Kara felt confident she could sell the home for more money and we received a full price offer 4 days later. The difference in price made a great contribution to our new house. Coming from a career in sales I believe a lot of agents might have encouraged us to take the first offer but it is obvious Kara really cares about her clients. It was because of her we made more money. Thank YOU

Lindy & Joel Sweeney
The McGowan Group sold our home in 7 days. We had anticipated a long time for our home to be on the market to our pleasant surprise we were packing within one week! Thanks for all your hard work and incredible selling record.

McGowan Real Estate Group was the most professional and pleasant real estate company I have dealt with in my real estate experience as a seller! They were very patient and caring towards my personal needs selling my villa from 1300 miles away with weekly phone calls and e-mails updating me on the housing market...I am confident that the buyer of my villa was just as happy dealing with MRG in such an important event in every person's life...
buying a house!"

Larry Johnsen
We would like to thank you for selling our house so quickly. Your motivation and desire to get things done are extremely impressive. You are a rarity in this business. Keep up the goodwork !

Clint Solomon
Thanks for being such a great listener and helping us find exactly what we were looking for. You know a lot about acreage properties and we will certainly be calling you when our new “project” is complete and ready for sale.
P.S. Thanks for the work gloves and hard hats

Dale Merch
I used MRG to sell my home in Gretna they sold it in less than 2 weeks.  With so many homes on the market in my neighborhood I couldn't believe it. Now I know to stop listening to the media and listen to the real experts.

Omaha Seller

Thank you for selling our house. After listing our property three different times with three different Realtors and having it not sold we were frankly a little skeptical of the whole process and unsure whether you would be any different from other Realtors. We were pleasantly surprised when you sold our house only in 3 weeks after taking over the listing. Thank you for a job well done.

Tori Smythe
Kara- Thank you for your quick response to all of my MANY questions and your professionalism. And especially for taking your Saturday evening to make this deal come together. May your be blessed beyond words.

Steve & Teri Smith

Thank you so much for your expertise in selling & buying our homes. We appreciate your listening ear and encouraging words. You explained everything so patiently to us novices. God bless you and your family

Shelly Ruffer
I would recommend using Kara McGowan. She is fantastic at what she does. She kept me informed every week no matter what. I really enjoyed working with her throughout the home selling process. She eliminated my doubts and got us the price we needed. She is an expert in a industry where knowledge and people skills are a must.

Ashley H.
Kara- Thank you for all your help. Selling a brand new home that we made all the selections for but never had the opportunity to live in was very difficult. You turned what could have been a nightmare into a dream come true. We are so happy in Midtown, it just fit’s us so much better. Thank you for taking all my million phone calls & texts & always being there. I now consider you a friend in addition to my Realtor. Let’s do dinner at Pitch soon 

Bethany Lutze
Thank you for being honest with me about what my home is worth in today’s market. I had a very long drawn out ordeal with the previous agent and after speaking with you I knew it should not be that way. You told me the truth even though it was not what I wanted to hear and you were right. Because of that I have been able to downsize and move on. Thank you for making such a difference in my life. I wish I would have met you sooner.

Neal & Beth Schumacher
Kara, Thank you for all the wonderful things you have done to help us.  We feel so blessed to have your assistance and believe that without your skills and know how we would have never been able to pull this off.   It is because of you we didn't have to move 6 children the week before x-mas.  Thank you for looking out for what truly was in the best interest of our family.

Justin & Jill Cemens
Wow, we are glad we talked to you. Selling our house ourselves wasn’t going well and we were running out of time. You came through for us just in time to get our kids into Westside before school started . We want to have you over to the new house for a BBQ soon.

Helen Nichols

The patience, assistance & honesty that you exhibited in helping us find our “dream house” cannot be praised enough. Both took the time often on a moment’s notice due to our schedule to make sure we were making the right decision for us. We truly appreciate all of their hardwork . It goes without saying they are the most dedicated professionals we have ever had the pleasure to deal with.

David & Colleen Smart
Our house expired with the agent we had been working with for nearly a year. After much frustration and delays in our plan we needed to hire a different person to get the job done. Kara was recommended to me by a co-worker.  She came in with quite a list of things we needed  to change not only inside the house but outside.  After doing everything she said she proved to be right.  She not only got the home sold but got us 3 offers and sold the house for more than we wanted.  My husband and I are so glad we listened to my co-worker and called Kara.

Fort Calhoun Seller

I recommend McGowan Real Estate Group they took care of the sale of my property. This is the second time that they did an excellent job for me.

Janet Barton August 7,2006

We were quite satisfied by the hard work / effort displayed by McGowan Real Estate during the time both our lot and our lake property were on the market.

Penny Merritt
We are so lucky we called and talked to you. We were considering remodeling our kitchen completely but after you came over and suggested new paint and cabinet handles we decided to try it. Sure enough it worked! Thanks for saving us a complete kitchen remodel and getting our home sold so quick.

Thank you, The Ackerman Family

Over the past year my family and I have been in the never-ending process of trying to sell our home. Unfortunately, we had to go through this process more than once. The first time, we hired an agent who had no knowledge of our community, and who was so busy they had no time to do the things that are fundamental in selling a home. So to our dismay, the transition did not turn out in our benefit. Then we hired McGowan Real Estate and their elite team to assist us with our endeavors.
From day one, they provided a solid service, which allowed us to be successful with our dreams. They are well known and respected in our community. They took the time and effort to explain important details and they truly work for you. They do not just list your house in the MLS and disappear. They do a professional job, as well as add their expertise to serve you. They have dedicated themselves to providing quality service. They are a team player and works for you, to accomplish your goals! McGowan Real Estate took the stress of paperwork and worrying about the close of escrow away. Thanks to them, our family is able to move on to bigger and better things. If you want a professional to service your individual needs choose McGowan Real Estate

Don Kaisser

Hey- Thank you & Scott for getting our home sold so fast.  I know the price range we are in is a tough one these days but you made me feel confident you could get the job done and you did!  

Bret Cowley
I had my home on the market for 6 months when I transferred the house to Kara. She came in and had a new pictures shot and changed all the marketing completely. The first agent didn’t even have it marked as a home on a lake. It really made a difference because we sold it in 2 months for my entire asking price. Kara not only knows how to sell homes she knows how to negotiate. I would defiantly use her if I ever move again

Mark & Jen Thompsen
Thanks Kara for getting our home sold.  We are so excited about our new house I can't wait to get planting all the landscaping. We have already used the Barrington tennis courts three times!  Your idea about the mud room is exactly what Mark and I are going to do. That was so nice of you to send the pictures.  We appreciate all your help and how much advice you lent us, you are by far the best agent we have ever worked with and that's a lot considering all the properties we have bought and sold for the kids. Rest assured we will be sending referrals your way. 

Phil Sordillo

Dedicated and accessible. Professional and helpful service. We wouldn’t think twice about referring MRG to our friends.

Adriana, Blair NE

You were such a delight during the process. Brad and I knew that we could call you, and trust that you would do everything possible to assist us. The buying process was extremely fast and easy, and thank you for your diligence.

I would definitely recommend you to anyone who is seeking assistance during such an important time in their lives! We would love to have you over sometime to see what we have done thus far, so please let us know if you are in the area. We look forward to staying in touch with you down the road and referring any business to you that we encounter.

Thanks again for your professionalism and dedication
