Quotables
“I grew up where the 4-letter word in my world was W-O-R-K and that’s still my 4-letter word today.”
“One piece and one element that you can never lose when you’re trying to accomplish your dreams is gratitude, and people like to do business with grateful people.”
“Confidence – you combine that with work, drive, desire, and determination, you’re going to the moon.”
“We wanna associate ourselves with winning, not with losing, so I adopted that same thing in real estate.”
“I’m an agent. I’m more of an agent than a broker/owner. I think like an agent so all the things I implemented at Deeb Realty were pro-agent.”
“If you talk to anybody that was around when I opened up in 1993, they will say we revolutionized the way real estate was done in Omaha.”
“The thing is, don’t worry about what other people think about what you have and what you don’t have. All that matters is that you’re happy where you’re at.”
