The O'Shea Group is a wholly owned subsidiary of O'Shea Holdings, LLC and a Nebraska limited liability corporation.

O'Shea Holdings, LLC was formed in 2006 to be the operating base for O'Shea & Son's General Contracting, a company that performs multiple jobs within the residential and commercial real estate development arena. In late 2006 O'Shea Holdings bought their first property in South East Lincoln that comprised of a (5) acre lot with a 3300 square foot home for $369,000.00 and has recently been appraised for $465,000.00.In the later part of 2007, O'Shea Holdings purchased another property that was updated and sold for a profit with 90 days .

Matthew and Mark O'Shea are the managing members of O'Shea Holdings, LLC, and senior realtors with the O'Shea Group at Prudential Ambassador Real Estate. Both are former University of Nebraska Cornhusker football players where they were part of the legendary "Black shirts" (2000-2006). They both earned their degrees in business communications and business finance and quickly entered the Real Estate business with the prestigious Prudential Ambassador Real Estate Group.

Located in the affluent residential business district in Lincoln's "Williamsburg Village", The O'Shea Group has strategically placed itself in the offices of the Prudential Ambassador Real Estate's Lincoln brokerage group. Prudential's Real Estate arm that covers the entire United States of America , which is extremely important with respect to relocation referrals and has one of the most comprehensive e-commerce and web marketing sites in their industry, were key factors in The O'Shea Group's decision to join the Prudential Ambassador Real Estate Group.

Another key factor to join the agency in Lincoln was the 25 years of un-matched experience and integrity that Kim Topp, managing broker, would lend to the credibility of The O'Shea Group. Mathew and Mark were studying for their Real Estate license exam during the time that they had purchased a home from Prudential Ambassador Real Estate. The experience would lead to the wonderful relationship that continues to flourish.

The O'Shea Group wanted to bring the "can do" mentality to the ultra conservative and non-confrontational business community of Lincoln, Nebraska. The same mentality that had been instilled in the managing members from birth. Coupled with Husker pride and the wholesome Heartland, Americana attitude that Matthew and Mark now gilded, would help them focus on bringing their dreams into reality.

Have you ever heard this phrase: "Impose You Will"

What does it mean to impose your will? Well, it's simple really. It is a fancy way of saying that you are going to make someone or something do exactly what you command it to do.

As we close down our 2008, and enter into our 2009, let us use this simple phrase to not only prosper in this new year, but to flourish in our sucesses! Let us impose our will on everything that comes in our path. Let us make 2009 ours! Grab this new year by the horns and make it what you want. Don't let the media hype or down economy dictate you. Rather, let this year be a hallmark year, and add on to your successes of the year past.

I would like to wish you all a wonderful and save New Year's Eve, and a flourishing 2009.

As I walked through the grocery store on Saturday morning to pick up a box of Earl Grey tea and a bottle of Reyka, I can't help but notice two women talking about their financial troubles. In passing them, I overheard them discussing how they were going to ever own another home after being foreclosed on.

In another instance in which this topic arose was after a wonderful dinner at Magnolia's my wife and I went to the cinema and enjoyed a movie. Just before the previews began I could not help but eve's drop on a conversation two young gentlemen were having behind me. They were talking about their parents not being able to make their house payment for over 7 months, and they are getting foreclosed on.

Once accustomed to the socially acceptable conversations of the general public being concerned with the wheather, or who they shared drinks with last night; it seems as though foreclosures and short sales have become somewhat of a way of life for our society. This is evident not only in my stroll through the market or a night with my wife, but also in conversations I have had with friends, family, and clients. My discussions were directed at how their ideas of foreclosures and short sales have changed in the past few years, as the housing bubble politely bursted and caused havoc on our economy. Their answers were quite the same, as they openly discussed that these once forbidden topics are more of a small talk these days.

"Hello, nice weather huh? So, just had my first foreclosure. How about you?"

Is this what small talk has become. Could it be that with all of the media coverage and exposure that foreclosures and sub-prime lending has gotten, that we are becoming numb to the extreme devastation that this has had on our housing market and the economy? The next time you are in an elevator, instead of saying "how's the weather?" ask "how's the foreclosure forecast?"

This type of acceptance suggests that foreclosure and short sales have become a way of life in the U.S. As I sit and ponder this statement, I can only make more arguments for its validity. If you have something more to say about this topic, I'd love to hear from you.
