After working in the industry for almost 50 years, Ken Emmons is a seasoned professional

when it comes to buying and selling homes. And just like his motto explains, he quickly learned that real estate was about much more than just property. “Helping people is the part that I enjoy the most,” he says. “Helping people get from point A to point B – that’s what they’re trying to do, and so it’s a discovery process of understanding where they’re at and where they want to go, and then helping them do just that.”

Ken’s interest in real estate began in 1975 after working in the less-than-favorable conditions of a boiler factory. He says, “I remember sitting in the back seat of the car with my wife, as our realtor drove us house to house, and I said to myself, ‘I can do this. I can sell houses.’” Ken immediately put his plan into action. He became licensed that same year and was fortunate enough to work for a company that not only handled residential and commercial real estate, but that also had a hand in land development and new construction.

A long career in real estate means that Ken has a great deal of perspective on what it takes to be successful. “Time management and habits are two biggies for me,” he says. “But time management is a miss-statement – you can’t manage time, you can’t save time in a bottle.” To Ken, time management means managing tasks, managing people, and, occasionally, managing a new idea – all of which he has accomplished to help establish himself as a Lincoln real estate success story.
