"It says where there is great love there are great miracles," said Realtor Camy Leathers. 

Inspire Home and Land Realty opened its doors in Norfolk in September of 2022, but began business August 4th. 

The team of five, all native to Nebraska, has together over 30 years of experience in the real estate business.   

Owner and broker Karen Petersen speaks on how supportive the community has been since their opening and even the inner touch forged within the foundation of the building itself. 

"We've had an overwhelming response of support and behind all of this sheetrock there are some verses or words that are written on the two-by-fours," said Petersen. "But, we've had a lot of prayer warriors behind the scenes that have prayed for us. We've had contractors and friends, and everybody has just been overwhelmingly supportive."  

The current team is comprised of all females, and it wasn't planned, but due to divine intervention. Although, any new realtors and brokers are welcomed to expand the team in the future. 

The team includes owner and broker Karen Petersen, associate broker and realtor Camy Leathers, realtor Joy Parkinson, realtor Megan Eckert, and office administrator Tina Urban.  

Eckert spoke on how the team works together, but also individually as female bosses in the realty business. 

"You kind of own your own business and I think that empowers you to be flexible, to be as successful as you want to be and I think that we as women do a great job of building each other up," said Eckert. "We've all done real estate for quite some time, so even though we've worked in different offices, I think we've worked together for many years."  

The Inspire team works to lead and instruct their buyers and sellers to being prepared in light of the state of the market nationally. 

"So right now, our real estate market is super tight, it's a seller's market, and I think it's like that nationally. So just being prepared, guiding our buyers and sellers, making sure you're pre-approved," said Pettersen. "We're kind of like ducks. We're calm on the surface, but we're pattering underneath. So, our job is to help guide and prepare so that way when something does come on, we can be aggressive and get our buyers and seller in."   

Inspire Home and Land Realty provides unique service to all clientele as every transaction is different, but a trusted life decision.
