Corporate relocation · Omaha
Relocating to Omaha for Offutt Air Force Base.
Bellevue, Sarpy County
A PCS to Offutt is not a normal relocation. The timeline is set by orders rather than preference, you may be buying without ever having seen the city, and you will likely do it again in three years — which makes resale a first-order concern rather than an afterthought.
Where people live
South metro, with Bellevue and Papillion immediately adjacent to the gate.
- Bellevue
- Closest to the gate, the widest range of price points, and the deepest pool of buyers when you PCS out.
- Papillion & La Vista
- Strong schools, newer construction, and consistently among the most sought-after resale markets in the metro.
- Gretna
- Newer and growing quickly, fifteen to twenty minutes out, popular with families staying longer than one tour.
- Springfield & south Sarpy
- Acreages and larger lots for people who want land without leaving the commute radius.
PCS specifics
Bill holds the Military Relocation Professional certification, which exists precisely because a PCS move does not work like a civilian one.
- VA loan mechanics — entitlement, funding fee exemptions, and why a VA offer is not the weak offer sellers assume it is
- Buying on orders, before you have set foot in Nebraska, using video and a representative who has walked the house
- Resale-first selection, because a three-year tour means you are choosing your future buyer as much as your house
- Timing a purchase against report date, temporary lodging and household goods delivery
- The Sarpy County rental side, if you are buying to hold rather than to live in
How a relocation actually goes
- 01
Before you accept
A call, and if it helps, a tour. Bill has driven corporate and medical candidates around this city for forty years — often before they had taken the job. Knowing what your package actually buys changes the negotiation.
- 02
One trip, properly used
Neighborhoods, schools and the commute driven at the hour you will actually drive it. Most relocations get one visit; it should not be spent guessing.
- 03
Buying from out of state
Video walkthroughs, a representative in the room, and someone who will tell you when a house is wrong for you. Bill reads construction — he estimated materials before he sold houses.
- 04
Selling where you are now
We coordinate with your agent at the other end so the two closings do not fight each other. That is most of what goes wrong in a relocation.
Bill holds the Certified Relocation Professional designation and has worked with corporate recruiters bringing candidates to Omaha for four decades. If you are a recruiter rather than the candidate, send them this page — or call and he will take the tour himself.
