Welcome To Homestead Land Company

Homestead Land Company, Inc. was formed and incorporated in 1993 to provide service to local lenders in the appraisal business. From this start, we evolved into Real Estate Sales and Farm Management.

There was and still is a need to provide appraisals to lenders in a timely manner for lending purposes. Appraisals are provided to lenders, attorneys, accountants, individuals, or anyone needing to know the value of real estate. These needs include estates, estate planning, sales, property division, tax issues, assessment issues and more. Randy Fischer and Eldon Ideus, both licensed appraisers, do the majority of the appraisal work.





John Zarybnicky, owner/broker, heads the Sales Department. There are 7 licensed salespeople with our firm. We are licensed to sell real estate in Nebraska and Kansas

We specialize in selling farm real estate. Auctioning or listing farmland is a very large part of our business. Our salespersons have farm backgrounds and understand farms. Dave Bures, auctioneer, is very experienced in selling real estate, along with personal property. Randy Fischer and Eldon Ideus both have considerable farm and rural experience and are licensed salespersons. In addition to selling farmland, Homestead Land Company, Inc. is involved in Listing and Selling rural building sites, residential properties and commercial land and properties.

In 2009, Beatrice Realty joined forces with Homestead Land Company to become a very strong force in the marketing of residential real estate in the Beatrice Community. Kay Genrich, Associate Broker, Patti Behrens, salesperson and Roddy Spangler, bring over 40 years of residential sales experience. Real Estate Agents have a reputation of telling potential sellers unrealistic values for their homes just to obtain a listing. “Just get the listing and work them into reality later”. We don’t use that tactic at Homestead Land Company. Our listing presentations provide you with the best possible information to provide you with a realistic value of your home. We also provide the same expert advice as Buyer’s Agents. Our experience can help you find your dream home. Whether a Sellers Agent or a Buyer’s Agent, we know who we are working for. Let us sell your home, or help you find that dream home.

We are members of the Tri-County Board of Realtors and Multiple Listing Service, which includes Gage, Jefferson and Saline Counties, and the Midlands (Lincoln) Multiple Listing Service. This exposes our Sellers properties to the realtors in this area. This allows our agents access to all of the properties listed by other real estate companies participating in the MLS. Exposing a seller’s property to as many potential buyers as possible is the key to a successful sale. For potential buyers, we have access to several hundreds of listings

Do you own a farm, or do you have farmland as part of your investment portfolio? Are you renting out the family farm? Farming is a very complex enterprise. Who is looking out for your interest?
