HOME Real Estate

HOME Real Estate HOME Real Estate is Lincoln's largest full-service residential real estate company, proudly serving our community for the past 85 years.

Our devotion, knowledge and service have earned us 'Best of Lincoln's #1 Real Estate Company' 25 years running! HOME Real Estate began as Austin Realty in 1938. Founded by Edith and Henry F. Austin, the firm started with one office and five sales associates. Gerald L. “Jerry” Schleich became the sole owner of Austin Realty in 1966. During his ownership Jerry not only dramatically grew the company,

he also served the real estate community in many leadership roles. The company’s name was changed to HOME Real Estate in 1989, and over the course of time Jerry’s sons began to take over management of the many facets of the company. Residential real estate sales were always the mainstay, but property management became a focal point in the 1980s when sales were slow, and land development became the driving force in the 1990s and early 2000s. Over 50 residential subdivisions have been developed by HOME Real Estate. Lot sales and new construction sales propelled HOME Real Estate into the dominant leadership position in residential real estate. In 2003 HOME Real Estate joined forces with Home Services of America Inc., the largest full-service independent residential real estate brokerage firm in the United States, made up of premier real estate brokerages across the nation. Under strong local leadership, all the entities of HOME Real Estate have grown dramatically. The real estate brokerage company has grown from 5 to nearly 300 REALTORS and is indisputably the largest and most successful real estate company in Lincoln. We offer a full slate of services with our partners:

Prosperity Mortgage
HomeServices Title
HomeOwners Plus
Larabee School of Real Estate


HOME Real Estate’s focus is on excellence in service. The initial $400 investment made by Henry and Edith Austin has grown into the largest real estate firm serving Lincoln and a supporting network of HOME offices across the state of Nebraska. We strive to deliver an unparalleled home buying and selling experience to each and every customer to ensure customer satisfaction every step of the way throughout the entire home ownership life cycle.

Our HOME family of services has been deeply saddened by the loss of Steve Heironymus — long-time REALTOR®, colleague, and friend.

For more than 40 years, Steve was a trusted representative of HOME Real Estate and, in recent years, shared his passion and talent for photography with so many throughout our industry. He truly loved real estate — both serving clients as a sales associate and helping fellow agents showcase their listings through his marketing photography.

Steve will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and working alongside him. Please keep Steve’s family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
