As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, it’s a perfect time to reflect on how Investors Realty has evolved over the past five decades. Since the beginning, our journey and our success has been built on a strong commitment to our clients, who we put at the center of our work.

Each client’s vision drives everything we do. By understanding client needs, we work hard to build lasting partnerships that support client success. We believe what makes us a trusted partner in the real estate industry is collaboration and tailored services.

A Legacy of Client Focus

From our humble beginnings, Investors Realty has always prioritized building strong, long-lasting relationships. Our clients’ needs have changed over the years, driving us to adapt to become more than a brokerage firm. With new business lines, we adapt while staying true to our core values of integrity, excellence, and service. It’s our team’s goal–and passion–to provide solutions that support client success in a changing market.

Expanding Business Lines in Response to Client Needs

In 1975, Investors Realty was two men and a hard-working coffee pot. It didn’t take long before a bigger coffee pot was sourced to fuel the team as it grew. Here are some of the key business lines that have emerged to help benefit our clients:

1. Property Management, established 1980: Within the first five years, we launched this division with one manager and a handful of small retail buildings assembled by our founders. There was a large need for comprehensive property management services, and we developed a division that oversees all aspects of our clients’ properties. Now, we have also added an accounting element to this service that allows us to help clients make strategic decisions that pay big dividends.

2. Maintenance Services, established 1980: In response to client and team feedback, it became apparent that the sites needed to be maintained. Leveraging vendors wasn’t always economical, so a team was established to focus on maintenance services. Now, our maintenance team works closely with our property managers to ensure our clients’ properties are well-maintained and operate efficiently, providing peace of mind and enhancing the value of their investments.

3. Facilities Management, established 2012: Some of our clients don’t call Omaha home, but they need someone in town to run the day-to-day operations at a site. This is where our team steps in to facilitate the onsite needs and interface with vendors and tenants.

4. Project Management, established 2018: Our clients’ need for expert project management led to the creation of a specialist that handles everything from initial planning to execution. This team works closely with clients to ensure that their projects are completed on time and within budget, delivering exceptional results for everyone involved. The project management team also works closely with the brokerage team to assess property conditions when a client is looking to purchase a building. This work helps our clients make the right decision when it comes to a purchase and know what investments sites will require.

Looking Ahead

As we look toward the next 50 years, Investors Realty remains committed to our clients. We will continue to listen, adapt, and innovate, ensuring that we provide the highest level of service and support.

Thank you for being a part of our story. Here’s to many more years of success and partnership!
