Wade Bartels

Born and raised on a hog farm south of Tecumseh, U.S. Marine Corps veteran (five years active duty), and a licensed Realtor since 2018 with over 500 closed transactions. I lead SimpliCity Real Estate in Lincoln, Nebraska, and I go deep on one thing: helping families move up from the starter home they've outgrown.

If you're looking for a fluffy, shiny REALTORA(R) with nice shoes and a fancy car, I'm not your guy. I'm a farm kid, a Marine, and an investor who's flipped 10+ properties of my own. I look you in the eye, shoot it straight, and let the results speak.

What I do that most agents won't:

• The Move-Up Method - my 5-step system for selling your current home and buying the next one at the same time, without the timing chaos. It's not magic. It's a plan.

• I front repair costs. Roof, paint, carpet, landscaping - I schedule my contractors, I pay them, and you reimburse me at closing out of the sale. Houses that "can't sell" are my specialty.

• VA loans. I'm a Marine - I know the inspection requirements, the appraisal pitfalls, and how to write a 0%-down offer that wins.

I work all of Lincoln and Lancaster County, plus the acreages and small towns of Cass and Otoe counties - every price range from new construction to unlivable. Straight answers, a real plan, and an agent who texts back inside an hour. That's where I come in. More at wade.nesimplicity.com.
