Three Exciting Things Coming Soon At Deeb Realty in the Three Weeks Left in December!
Watch on your mobile device >>
If you’re an agent with Deeb Realty, you already know that we work hard to make sure our agents are happy and all their needs are completely taken care of! We know that the heart of our business is our agents and what better way to celebrate that than by tirelessly working to provide the maximum benefits possible?
There’s only a few more weeks left in this year and we’ve got several things planned to close out the year in style. Here is a snapshot of what you can look forward to in the coming days – and we certainly hope you enjoy all of them to the fullest!
Annual Christmas Party
It’s that time of year again where we get to mix, mingle and make merry – all under one roof. This year’s choice of venue is the magnificent Magnolia Hotel – Omaha amidst the beautiful backdrop of Downtown Omaha. New to our party this time around is the exciting inclusion of a cash prizes drawing that includes a $5,000 first prize to one lucky agent!
Though we host many social events for our team throughout the year, the Annual Christmas Party is perhaps the most coveted and one that you definitely should not miss! One of the most rewarding aspects of the night is that proceeds of a silent auction go directly to benefit our preferred charity The Shelter Fund to help homeless citizens through their plight.
Business Planning and Foresight
December is a busy month for many reasons – the holidays, people are winding down year-long projects, many prepare for tax season right around the corner – but for real estate agents, December means planning for the following year. And if you don’t have a plan in place you could seriously hurt your bottom line come next year. To help our agents with this important aspect of the real estate industry, we have developed four essential business planning sessions and will present them to you during the remaining weeks of December.
Business planning entails a lot of in-depth thought, focus on goals, setting up a strategy for building your business in the coming months and year and establishing the best route to go about to achieve your goals. Since your success translates to our success, we know that it’s in the best interest of everyone that you are armed with the solid tools and techniques we make available to our agents.
New Phone App Exclusive to Deeb Realty
Keeping up with our penchant for technology and staying ahead of the game in our industry, we are very excited to announce that coming very soon we will be unveiling a new phone app for Apple and Android smart phones. We want it to be a surprise so look for more news on this latest achievement from Deeb Realty!

We hope to see you during this month and look forward to continued solid partnerships with you and all our trusted and esteemed agents! Happy Holidays!
Community Support
Watch on your mobile device >>
I believe that one of the reasons our company has grown so much over the last decade is because of our community support and involvement. One of the most important things that any successful business should do is recognize that their success is because of the community that supports their company, and then give back to the communities in which they are a part.
As a locally owned company that has been around for 18 years, DEEB Realty takes a tremendous amount of pride in giving back to our community. Each year we donate, sponsor, and volunteer to approximately 25 different organizations, and most of them are local.
Here is a look at some of the ways DEEB Realty supports our community.
· Food & Housing for Local Organizations
o The Shelter Fund – Supports various local homeless Shelters. Our primary charity
o The Food Bank
o Operation Others - provides food for underprivileged during the holiday season
o Habitat for Humanity
· Youth Programs and camps
o OPS Elementary schools after school programs
o Legion Baseball – longest running sponsor
o Youth summer camps & sports – from cross country to boxing
o Omaha Children’s Museum
o The Special Olympics
· Cancer and Illness Research
o St. Jude
o Susan G. Komen
o The V Foundation
o Muscular Dystrophy Association
o American SIDS Foundation
· Support & Care Organizations
- Ted E. Bear Hollow - supports kids that are coping with the death of a parent
o KJ's Carts for Kids - supporting youth dealing with traumatic life changing events
o The Rainbow House – Food & housing for families of children at Children’s Hospital
o The Hospice House
We have two major fundraisers each year (and several other ways to donate) our annual golf tournament and our company Christmas party. Giving back to our community is a big part of our company, and we look forward to doing more and more in the future as we continue to grow.
Company Support

One of the most important services a company can provide its Realtors is support, or at DEEB Realty we call it customer service because we believe our agents are our customers. Support services are sometimes hard to quantify as to the importance to your business, but when you need it you are either very grateful for it, or wish you had it.
At DEEB Realty we offer a wide range of support services that include:
· We have a dozen management and staff members ready to assist you with questions 7 days a week from 8:00 am – 10:00 pm.
· Our management team has an open door policy that means instant accessibility to get your questions answered right away.
· Our management team has over sixty years of combined real estate experience and knowledge so we can help guide you through any situation you may have.
· We offer well over 200 training classes each year.
· We have taught over 100 class topics over the last few years, and we are always revamping old classes and adding new ones.
· Many of our classes are not the 101 level courses for new agents, but advanced topics that address the skill sets necessary for today’s successful Realtors.
· We offer accountability groups that meet bi-weekly that helps provide knowledge, motivation, and business productivity.
· All listing input and document upload
· Technology support and training for Paragon, email, software, hardware, and more
· And much much more!
As always we don’t charge additional fees to our agents to provide these services.
At DEEB Realty our agents are our customers. We really look at it like we work for them as opposed to the other way around. They are the reason our company is successful, and so our daily focus is on what we can do to make their business more productive and efficient, and their lives easier.

Let’s Talk Numbers; Commissions Make All the Difference When Deciding On a Broker
Watch on your mobile device >>
So you have just gotten your Realtor’s license? Or you have had one for a while now but are tired of the daily grind, endless desk hours time, unequal commission structure and lack of overall guidance from within the organization you are currently with? You are going to LOVE Deeb Realty! Standing very far apart from the rest of the competition, we pride ourselves in being the BEST company to work for if realty is your expertise or even just your newfound passion.
To make it easy for you and to illustrate exactly why we are a cut above the rest, here is a point-by-point comparison on why Deeb stands out in the crowd and why you should join this team today!
Commissions Split
Most companies tend to offer newbies a 40/60 percent split – leaving you with only slightly more than half of your commission earnings on closed sales. They will wine you and dine you and tell you that eventually your commission split will be increased as you earn more.
At Deeb, brand new agents start out at a very competitive 70%, with 90% for more experienced agents and an amazing 100% commission structure that is very affordable.
Earnings Commensurate Earnings
Most real estate brokerage firms base their agents’ earnings on an aggregate figure on the last 12 months’ net commission earned. Measuring what they will pay their agents based on how many properties were sold in the previous year is not an optimum method of earning for agents. The aggregate figure resets every year, resulting in a fluctuating pay scale for even seasoned agents.
We base our commissions on the cumulative number of closed transactional sides you accomplish, rather than earnings income or commission dollars earned. Whether you close on the buyer’s side or seller’s side, each one works toward your commission structure. Plus, once you reach a certain pay scale at Deeb Realty you never go back down.
Listing Origination
Traditionally, real estate brokers penalize agents for selling listings that may not have originated from their own firm. This drastically impacts the agent’s commission earnings – resulting in less-than-desired percentages.
Deeb Realty celebrates its agents’ accomplishments regardless of where the listings originate. We reward our agents for their performance of the last five years of production regardless of where they were prior to with us.
The 100% “Free” Plan
Nearly every major realty company boasts a “100% commission for free” policy for their agents. Just like it sounds, it is too good to be true. What they do not tell you is that you are required to contribute thousands of dollars year after year to the agency in order to receive 100% of your commissions. Often agents end up selling until the year is almost over to cover the fees and only then do they start receiving 100% commissions. To make matters worse, the whole process restarts itself in January.
Our 100% plan works like this: For a very affordable $500 each month, you are guaranteed 100% of your commissions on each deal. Aside from a $75 transaction fee that is charged at closing, there are no other hidden fees. Our agents know each time and throughout the year what their expenditures are versus what they will be earning.

Deeb Realty prides itself on being one of the best in the industry and the company with THE best commission structure there is out there. We take care of our agents and we genuinely care about your success, doing everything we can to ensure that that success. For a company with fresh ideas, innovative people – Deeb Realty is a service-oriented company that looks out for its customers and its own people.
