I’m Mary Lyn Cabral, REALTOR® with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, and I’m excited to finally have a place where I can share more about the community I love and the real estate market I work in every day. For me, real estate has always been about more than houses. It’s about people, families, neighborhoods, businesses, and the communities we call home. Why Omaha?...]]></description><link>https://www.sellsomaharealestate.com/post/welcome-to-my-corner-of-omaha</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a9c882dcdf183e0230c9e42</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Sep 2026 21:23:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/226bb0_773bd54e429b4a59afd2b32de84f03cb~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Mary Lyn</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thinking About Buying a Home? Start Here.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Buying a home is exciting, but I know it can also feel a little overwhelming. There are so many questions that come up. How much can I afford? Where should I look? Should I buy now or wait? What happens after I find a house I love? If you have been asking yourself some of those same questions, you are certainly not alone. My best advice is to start with a conversation before you start looking at houses. One of the first things I like to do with buyers is talk about what they actually need....]]></description><link>https://www.sellsomaharealestate.com/post/thinking-about-buying-a-home-start-here</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a9c87b6950c73fdcf7dad39</guid><pubDate>Sat, 01 Aug 2026 21:20:55 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/226bb0_3242f02eef594c1f983251160ea0193a~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Mary Lyn</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why I Love South Omaha]]></title><description><![CDATA[There are places you visit, and then there are places that feel like home. For me, South Omaha has always had that feeling. What I love most is the sense of community. There is a history here that you can feel when you walk down the street, visit a local business, or sit down for a meal with friends. South Omaha has character. It has wonderful food, hardworking families, local businesses and people who care deeply about their neighborhood. I especially love introducing people to the area who...]]></description><link>https://www.sellsomaharealestate.com/post/why-i-love-south-omaha</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a9c8791cdf183e0230c9cdd</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Jul 2026 21:20:18 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/226bb0_f4c6c22c5a04484c86064b3e3797e2e4~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Mary Lyn</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[5 Things to Think About Before Selling Your Home]]></title><description><![CDATA[Selling your home is a big decision. For many people, a home represents years of memories, hard work and investment. So when someone tells me they are thinking about selling, I know it is about much more than putting a sign in the yard. Before you decide to list, there are a few things I recommend thinking about. 1. Why are you selling? This sounds simple, but it is important. Are you moving for work? Do you need more space? Are you ready to downsize? Understanding your reason for moving can...]]></description><link>https://www.sellsomaharealestate.com/post/5-things-to-think-about-before-selling-your-home</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a9c874fcdf183e0230c9c48</guid><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 21:19:24 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/226bb0_969085756f4d4d5fa815f294a06228f2~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Mary Lyn</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What Does a Home Inspection Really Tell You?]]></title><description><![CDATA[One of the questions I hear from buyers is, “What happens during the inspection?” A home inspection can sound intimidating, especially if you are buying your first home. The good news is that an inspection is not really about finding a perfect house. There is no such thing as a perfect house. Every home has something. An inspection is an opportunity to learn more about the home you are considering buying. A qualified inspector will look at things such as the roof, foundation, electrical...]]></description><link>https://www.sellsomaharealestate.com/post/what-does-a-home-inspection-really-tell-you</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a9c872bac0d7a57cc49c43b</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2026 21:18:36 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/226bb0_9fa0636b8a49489f91be94bd74fc9e75~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Mary Lyn</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Buying Your First Home: What I Wish Everyone Knew]]></title><description><![CDATA[There is something really special about helping someone buy their first home.

After a long Omaha winter, our homes could probably use it too. Spring cleaning does not have to mean spending an entire weekend cleaning every corner of your house. Sometimes it is just about taking care of the little things we tend to forget. Change or clean your furnace filter. Take a look at your gutters and downspouts. Check around windows and doors for any signs of...]]></description><link>https://www.sellsomaharealestate.com/post/a-few-spring-cleaning-reminders-for-homeowners</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a9c86e9950c73fdcf7dab79</guid><pubDate>Sun, 01 Mar 2026 22:17:31 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/226bb0_82b009861ffa407692c535bb683fffd3~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Mary Lyn</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Neighborhood Is More Than an Address]]></title><description><![CDATA[One of the things I love most about real estate is that I get to see so many different parts of Omaha. Every neighborhood has its own personality. Some are quiet and tucked away. Some are full of activity. Some have older homes with beautiful character, while others have newer construction and modern conveniences. But when I am helping someone buy a home, I always want to talk about more than the house. I want to know what they want their neighborhood to feel like.

But there is another side of real estate that plays an important role in our community too: commercial real estate. Every day, we drive past office buildings, restaurants, retail spaces, medical offices and small businesses without necessarily thinking about the real estate behind them. Those spaces are where people work, shop, eat, meet with clients and build businesses. I have always found that side of real...]]></description><link>https://www.sellsomaharealestate.com/post/a-look-at-omaha-s-commercial-real-estate</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a9c8678cdf183e0230c9a99</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Jan 2026 22:16:04 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/226bb0_42e41bace81743308dbd39dad174d20c~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Mary Lyn</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
