Derek made everything so easy for us. He was proactive and professional. We never had to worry about anything - we had full confidence in his abilities. We had a great experience partnering with him!

Derek is an incredible realtor who goes above and beyond in everything he does. He is extremely knowledgeable and responsive. He made our experience seamless. I'd strongly recommend him!

Derek helped us buy a house in the Papillion area while I was living in Japan. Great to work with. Always gave his true best effort on everything even though we were across the world. Highly recommend!

Would 11/10 recommend Derek Colwell with Nebraska Realty! He went above and beyond what I could have ever imagined! We relocated from MT to NE and he made the process so easy and streamlined for us that we didn’t have to worry about anything other than getting to NE. He took care of everything behind the scenes but still kept us in the loop throughout the whole process! Words cannot even begin to express our gratitude for everything Derek did for us in making this the best home buying experience we have EVER had! If you are looking to buy a home in or around the Omaha area Derek is the realtor you are looking for!

My wife and I worked with Derek remotely as we executed out move. He was quick to respond, professional, and found the home for us. I highly recommend Derek for anyone looking for an agent!

Derek was amazing and so helpful. He had amazing patience with us as we navigated purchasing a home in the area. So thankful for his knowledge and attention to detail. Thanks for helping our military family.

Derek was our realtor that helped us search for a house. We started our search in March of 2025, and we didnt buy until December. Derek helped us check out a lot of houses in that time, and when we couldn't find what we liked he helped us find a place to rent. The entire time Derek gave us helpful advice and was patient during our search. We didn't feel pressed by him to buy, or not to buy. Would definitely recommend working with Derek for your home buying or selling needs!

Derek was so helpful during our condo buying process! He never rushed us, always knew all the ways to enter every crazy building and all the many keys and fobs, always patient, and always had the answers. When he didn’t immediately know something, he was very quick to find out and get back to us. We highly recommend Derek, he went above and beyond without missing a beat!

Derek worked very hard to present my home in the best possible light and we had a sale within nine days of listing, He went out of his way to do the little things that are certainly not expected of a real estate salesman. I would highly recommend listing your home with Derek and Nebraska Realty.

Derek went above and beyond to help us find our perfect house! He worked with us on even the smallest details to ensure we were ready to go, and really showed us the ropes as first time home buyers! I would highly recommend Derek Colwell!

Derek was excellent! We purchased our first home with him, he helped us find a list of good homes to tour, toured 11 homes with us, and gave us great insight on the pros/cons between each house. Not knowing much about the process of home-buying (we are military and utilizing the VA loan), he was excellent walking us through it, thank you Derek!

Derek is THE man! So I had recently moved to Omaha and met Derek with a plan to buy a place in the next 9 months. He was literally amazing. I had a very, very long list of what I was looking for, having spent the last couple year prior researching, etc...Suffice to say, the initial shock did not scare him away. He was very sensitive to my needs, and when I decided to lower my budget, his only goal was to make sure I found a home I was going to be happy in for the long haul. His patience, work ethic and drive to get me a place I enjoyed sold me. He was, and will be the only real estate person I use in the future.

Derek assisted me and my wife on buying our new home and selling our old one. He provided top notch service and was readily available at all times to show us homes to tour, tailor what he thought we'd like in a house, and made the closing process very easy. He also did a great job of selling our old house, getting us a competitive offer and putting our best interest first. I highly recommend him and would refer any of my friends and family to him!

Derek was very prompt and professional in communication and made the buying process extremely easy!

Derek went the extra mile to answer my questions and make sure my concerns were met. Very good communication. Was able to make some magic happen to ensure I closed on schedule.

I've had the pleasure of working with Derek on and off for the last several years and have seen first-hand his dedication to his clients and the role he plays in the largest financial transaction most people will have. He shows this dedication by his professionalism, responsiveness, attention to detail (which is critical in this business!) and knowledge of the Omaha real estate market. I know Derek truly listens to his client's needs to deliver a great experience while buying or selling a home. Highly recommend working with Derek for any real estate needs you have!

Derek has been an absolute pleasure to work with. We are first time home buyers and he has walked us through the process with care and excellence. When we have had questions he has advised us and guided us. If you are looking for a realtor I would advise you choose Derek without reserve.

Derek is a true professional! If you need a realtor to buy or sell a home in the Omaha area, he’s your guy. Not only did he work hard to sell our house; he was able to do it in a short timeline within the parameters we set. He demonstrated to our family his drive, perseverance, and respect in all aspects of our dealings. I’ll be recommending him to all my friends!

As a lender, working with Derek is a breeze. I know he takes clients' priorities as his won, and responsiveness is with the best. He is willing to go up to bat for his clients, and is very analytical on the numbers and research side

Derek was wonderful! We worked with him from abroad and he did all the legwork to find us a perfect home in Omaha, NE, even doing house visits during a surprise snowstorm. We’re a military family and he went above and beyond sorting out our VA loan, inspection, and handled our crazy move schedule with ease. We absolutely recommend him, 12 out of 10!
