CEO Gene Brake presents Marlene Bandars with the Shining Star Award

Marlene Bandars, staff member at the Woods Bros Realty Lincolnshire Square office, is the January Shining Star recipient.

One of her many nominations read:

“Marlene takes on a challenge with a smile on her face and determination.  She always tries to find ways to simplify our business lives whether it be time or money savings.  As her time permits, she is willing to help with projects that she certainly would not have to assist with.  Not only does she assist, she asks if she can help before even being asked.

She has volunteered to do work for the other support staff when they are over-loaded and is just a joy to be around.  I can’t say enough about Marlene’s infectious attitude and work ethic. If you were to look up the definition of team player, you would see a picture of Marlene.  She sets the bar high for others to strive toward.”

Woods Bros Realty is excited to announce that its SouthPointe office has moved to a new location. The new office will be located in the Wilderness Hills shopping area at South 27th Street and Yankee Hill Road, near the South Kohl’s department store, and it will be called Woods Bros Realty Wilderness Hills.

The new office represents Woods Bros Realty’s step toward the real estate office of the future. It will offer open, collaborative work areas, in addition to more conversation areas for Realtors to work with their clients. The office will feature state-of-the-art technology, including large monitors to showcase homes for sale and new Internet and telephone connections to make it easier and faster to conduct business.

The new technology combined with an energy efficient office space also will greatly reduce the company’s ecological and power consumption while increasing services for its agents and clients. New workstations at the Wilderness Hills office will consume one-tenth of the energy of the traditional desktop computer.

“The Wilderness Hills office will be a comfortable, casual place for our agents and clients to have an unparalleled real estate experience,” said Judy Sasek, managing broker of the office. The full-service office will also house a home mortgage consultant, for the convenience of one-stop shopping.

The SouthPointe office has been open since 1999, when Woods Bros Realty moved its Pioneers office further south to meet the growing need in South Lincoln. Woods Bros Realty is the first tenant in the Wilderness Hills center, which the company believes will continue to grow into a major business and shopping hub in South Lincoln.

“Woods Bros has always been a pioneer in Lincoln’s growth,” said CEO Gene Brake. “In following the directions of growth of the city, we believe Wilderness Hills will be a very successful location for the office, and we’re excited to be among the first tenants to the area.”

Jo Deyong, Richelle Miller-Sprouse, Kayla McElroy, Linda Tidball, John Tidball and Jennifer Schuller of the Woods Bros Realty Country Club Plaza office are the Shining Star recipients for the month of August, due to their assistance after the loss of Sales Manager Mary Kuhlmann.

Jo Deyong, Richelle Miller-Sprouse, Kayla McElroy, Linda Tidball, John Tidball and Jennifer Schuller with CEO Gene Brake

Their nominators said:

“The last couple of months have been very difficult for our office. [Jo, Richelle and Kayla] kept the office functioning, answered questions as they could from agents, people outside the office, and Mary’s family. They all put so many extra hours and did so with great grace while they were grieving as well. Each of the women has their own skills. No one can greet the public, deal with agent drama, and smile like Kayla. No one can answer forms questions, and keep us out of the doghouse like Jo. No one is a better ‘behind the scenes’ worker, flier generator, and decipherer of a CMA worksheet than Richelle. Together they are an incredible team.”

“I would like to nominate Jennifer Schuller and Linda and John Tidball for the Shining Star recognition. In the time prior to and following our loss of Mary Kuhlmann, these 3 devoted friends of Mary’s gave, and continue to give, hours and hours of their time in support of Mary and her family. The 3 Realtors continue to market all of the properties Mary had as active listings at the time of her passing. These 3 wonderful friends have done this out of the goodness of their hearts, with the commissions on the sales of Mary’s properties going to Arlo and the family. They’re receiving no financial reward for these hours of work. It is this kind of dedication to their (our) wonderful friend Mary Kuhlmann that is worthy of recognition as true ’shining stars.’ ”
