– Roger Lindberg // Business Professor, University of Nebraska at Lincoln

“THANK YOU, YOU ARE THE REASON I WILL SELL REAL ESTATE FOR LIFE” From the minute I got licensed I was blessed that I was lead through DEEB Realty’s front doors. I never could have imagined that I would become a multi-million dollar producer so soon in my real estate career and I owe it all to you. My previous sales positions were just jobs with no passion and now I finally have a career for life that I love because of you! No one has ever motivated me with such high intensity and valuable tools that I can apply daily to make me more successful all around than you have. Thank You. You gave me some priceless smiles and laughs as I was going through a tough time trying to start a family while working at the office so Thank You just for being you! I just hope we will be fortunate enough for you to continue teaching your motivational courses to our agents to help everyone continue the high marks of success. You are the BEST of the BEST on motivating.”

– Tracy Frans // Realtor, Omaha, Nebraska

“Kudos to you, Van for reaching a major goal. But more than that…For successfully building one of Omaha’s best companies from scratch and making it thrive even in less than ideal market conditions. You have realized the American Dream…and brought it home to many, many others. My best to you!”

– Todd Andrews, Anchor and Producer, KETV Omaha

“Thank you for the very motivational push I needed today!! I was the ‘new girl’ getting ready to take the state exam at the Gateway event in North Platte. I am so very thankful I was able to listen to you today before starting my career. I believe with what you have instilled in me today, I will have a successful real estate career!! And the fact that you put yourself out there and make yourself available to those you speak to makes you a very real person, not just a guy getting paid to make speeches!!”

– Terry Beckius // Realtor, North Platte, Nebraska

“I just wanted you to know that I appreciate your positive messages! Thank you for being a bright spot in people’s lives. And thank you again, for coming down to Sacred Heart School and speaking to our children. You will never know how you may have influenced a young mind but it’s important that you did.”

– Ann M. Rourke C.F.R.E. // Director of Development, Christian Urban Education Service

“It has been quite a year! I wanted to share with you what I had learned from you that has helped improve my business. The best thing I have done is to concentrate 100% on Julie Geller, Realtor. I have been so busy… Most of my agents saw that I worked hard, non-stop and had great results because of it. Another thing I changed after listening to your class, was to have the agents call me instead of the seller for showings. I found my seller’s really appreciated that gesture and that agents were surprised when I could answer with a quick positive response. It has been a good thing! The bonus to have listings, is getting new leads off the signs. Listings are great – just like you said. I enjoy your newsletters! Dancing with the Stars was a good one! Thank you for your coaching and your time. You really helped me get the year turned around.”

– Julie Geller // Broker, Peterson & Associates Realtors

“I enjoyed your seminar and its focus. I was on the fence whether or not to attend and decided why not? I could have sat through an all day session if there was one, usually I end up at the seminars that start with a focus and quickly go astray. I found with yours time flew by too fast and it was already time to go but I wasn’t ready to go.”

– Scott Asbill, CDPE // Associate Broker, Realtor

“Having you here again was such a blessing to so many! As I looked at the pictures, I could see just how interested each and every person was in what you had to say!

This has been such a gift to our agents when they need it the most. The fact that you come, you are so genuine and caring, you are so honest, you are not trying to sell anything and your passion to help each and every person believe in themselves and become the best they can be is HUGE! The timing is perfect for us all helping and caring about each other, so, thank YOU from the bottom of my heart for giving of yourself to help all of us!”

– Carolyn Summerton // First Mortgage Company of Idaho

“Wanted to say thank you for past inspiration. After moving to the Caribbean, I have been mentored by Anguilla Properties Sotheby’s International director here. This week I closed on my first home ($340,000) and have another currently under contract ($1.4M).

You never know when your words of inspiration will take over and drive an individual. For me it was somewhere 8+ years in the making, thanks again!”

– Jen Liebsack // Broker/Marketing Coordinator at Anguilla Properties / Sotheby’s International Realty

“Hi Van. Thank you for everything!  Neighbors asked for your name. Phenomenal that the house sold in 3 days! We knew we could count on you! I thought everything went smooth and we are so happy that the house sold fast and we did not experience a long drawn-out process.  Your advice was essential.

We look forward to seeing you soon and all the best.”

– Peter and Kathy Langdon // Home Sellers // Omaha, Nebraska
