Our company culture speaks to who we are, the type of agent we attract, and how we are perceived by our clients (the consumer of real estate services). We focus on what is really needed to assure agent success: client-centric marketing, comprehensive technologies, automated systems and an inspirational culture. Because, client success is essentially our success.
We work in concert with our agents to create an experience throughout the property buying/selling journey that is unparalleled. We make it easy for you to look good through our comprehensive proprietary platform that puts the latest technology at your fingertips, all in one place. Our multifaceted approach to training and support is designed to make all things easier for today’s busy agent. Our all inclusive business model is affordable and flexible. It is truly a smorgasbord of technology and support. You simply cannot fail.
Matterport generates 403% more inquiries than traditional media.
We have a Matterport 3D camera right in-house! That’s right. Better yet, our agents use it for free. The dollhouse views and true virtual tours keep today’s online consumer engaged longer and generate more inquiries by A LOT! And lets be honest, it makes our agents look good! We require use of the camera (unless a client specifically opts out) to increase local brand awareness and ultimately drive traffic back to our agents.
Drones are an unmatched way to showcase acreages, adjacent landscape, and uniquely manicured properties. Drone photography is available to NextHome Journey agents and encouraged whenever an amazing landscape demands to be seen. After all, it’s all about showing off the property and all it has to offer…inside and out!
24/7 Contract Assistance Hotline
Questions often arrive at the most inopportune times. Bad timing or not, sometimes you just need an answer now. So our broker is available 24/7 for assistance with tricky contract wording, client questions, property emergencies, etc.
You simply will not believe the quantity and quality of the marketing options you’ll have at your fingertips the second your join NextHome. The fully integrated and automated design center creates presentations, property reports, mailing pieces, and flyers in the blink of an eye. NextHome agents can print out beautiful, color pieces in minutes.
Ongoing Technology Training
In this fast-paced world, agents need continuing education that is relevant and keeps them abreast of advances in order to stay on top. In addition to an impressive collection of online recorded webinars, we offer in-house training on new technologies..and we travel. From additional CEU classes to specialized conferences, we are committed to either bringing the education to you or taking you to the education.
Meet Kelli Excell. Her last name is more of a personal goal with an extra “L.” Kelli truly excels in all she does and is dedicated to making sure her agents have what they need to excel as well.
Kelli is a dynamic broker with over a decade of experience in real estate and building small businesses. She understands national and local real estate challenges and works tirelessly to bring the newest/latest/greatest tools and technologies to the office. She is dedicated to supporting and nurturing agents for success in every transaction…and in every relationship. She is innovative, trusted, and possesses the determination necessary to get the job done. She has served as the President of the local Real Estate Board as well as the local and state Landlord Associations. Kelli is active in local and state legislation and believes in preserving the right for all to enjoy the benefits of home ownership.
When she isn’t talking shop, Kelli is reading a book or helping her husband (Steve) with his mobile catering BBQ business. Steve and Kelli are active in the community and in their church. They enjoy spending time with their three children and one grandchild.
We believe that the office should be comfortable and inviting. That’s why our NextHomies enjoy working in a relaxed, coffee-shop environment with comfortable, open seating; handy USB outlets; online news feeds; height adjustable tables and free drinks in our main collaboration area. Private rooms with large viewing screens and comfortable seating are available for times when a client needs more quiet attention. Children will love coming to the office too because we have a space designed just for them. The entire real estate buying/selling process is an experience that speaks for itself and our inimitable office undeniably sets the tone.
We want to know what your goal is. Is it creating/directing a large real estate team? Building a personal investment portfolio? Maybe you want to create college funds for kids or grandchildren? Perhaps you want a new, more rewarding career. It could just be that you are ready to be part of a bigger work family. No matter what it is, we’ll help you build it!

I joined NextHome Journey in 2017 after moving to Iowa from out of state. I’ve worked with several brokers in the past and Kelli and the rest of the office are by far the most pleasant group of people I have ever had the privilege of working with. Kelli is always available if I have questions and her judgment and knowledge of real estate is top notch!
- Aubry Larkin, REALTOR
-
NextHome far exceeded our expectations! We needed to find a home quickly and they helped us do just that by providing us with unlimited time, prompt communication, and fully listening to our needs and wants in a home. Our transition was very smooth and much of that is due to Kelli and her Realtor experience.
- Cori Flatt, Client

I have worked with Kelli close to a year, and I can say that it has been the best working experience that I could possibly want! Not only does she care about the level of work you do, she applies a personal touch that makes you feel like family. You will LOVE coming into work each day. You will get her best, no matter what. I would highly recommend working with Kelli. You will not be disappointed!
