Beyond the Sale: How ROOTED Realty Group Supports You Every Step of the Way
At ROOTED Realty Group, real estate is more than contracts, listings, or closings. For us, it’s about people, purpose, and place. Our team isn’t just ROOTED in the Kearney community — we’re ROOTED in our profession and ROOTED in service. Every client, every home, and every interaction reflects a deep commitment to integrity, excellence, and connection.
ROOTED in Community
Wendy Kreis and Ashlyne Svoboda lead the way as a mother-daughter duo who truly understand what it means to be invested in their city. Beyond helping families buy and sell homes, they serve on the Junior Achievement Board, champion entrepreneurship, and volunteer in countless capacities. They don’t just work in Kearney — they live, love, and serve here, ensuring their clients feel part of a community that cares.
Brandon Yaw is another pillar of our local commitment. A mover and shaker with multiple businesses in Kearney, Brandon brings years of leadership experience and entrepreneurial expertise to every client interaction. From guiding first-time buyers through complex transactions to spearheading downtown development projects, Brandon’s influence touches both homes and the broader community.
Kyla Putnam’s passion for real estate is matched only by her servant’s heart. She spreads joy in the community through her creative baking and decorating skills, while also sharing her extensive Central Nebraska real estate knowledge. Her approachable nature and dedication make every client feel supported and celebrated.
Lili Kennedy has made Johnson Lake her home base, becoming the go-to expert for real estate in the area. Her proven track record of successful closings and her love for coaching tennis reflect her balance of professionalism, heart, and mentorship. Lili’s ability to connect with clients personally and professionally ensures families find homes they love.
Jared Maxson, our resident business guru, brings a unique corporate perspective to real estate. His experience on the Chamber of Commerce Business and Education Committee informs a strategic, analytical approach that benefits both buyers and sellers. Jared’s ability to see the big picture and anticipate challenges sets him apart as a trusted advisor.
Karlie Tisthammer may be younger in the industry, but she’s driven, experienced, and relentless in her pursuit of excellence. With a banking background and a keen marketing mind, Karlie ensures every transaction runs smoothly, guiding clients through each step with clarity and precision. Her tenacity and professionalism make her a standout member of the ROOTED Realty Group family.
ROOTED in Profession
Our team’s expertise isn’t just local — it’s comprehensive. Whether it’s navigating the Kearney real estate market, analyzing Central Nebraska housing trends, or marketing properties with professional photography, drone footage, and 3D Matterport tours, every agent brings a unique skill set to the table.
From first-time homebuyers to seasoned investors, our clients trust us to guide them through every stage of the process — pre-sale prep, negotiations, inspections, and beyond. And when questions arise months or years after closing, our team is only a call away. This isn’t just real estate; it’s relationship-driven service backed by experience and knowledge.
ROOTED in Service
Being ROOTED in service means going beyond the transaction. We provide referrals to trusted local vendors, annual equity reviews, market updates, and guidance on home improvements — ensuring our clients feel supported long after the “Sold” sign goes up. Our team believes that each client’s journey is unique, and we celebrate each milestone together, from move-in day to life’s next chapter.
The combination of professionalism, community involvement, and personal touch is what makes ROOTED Realty Group different. Our clients aren’t just transactions — they’re part of our extended family. Whether it’s mentoring young buyers, supporting local businesses, or giving back through volunteer work, we take pride in making Kearney and Central Nebraska a better place, one home at a time.
