BJ BURROWS

“Solving problems, reaching goals, and helping our clients and REALTORS® reach a winning solution.”

BJ oversees five offices and fifteen agents, plus several employees as the broker/owner of Burrows Tracts in Elmwood, Nebraska. “We’re a small brokerage, but we provide the same full-service that a large brokerage would.”

It’s in BJ Burrows’ nature to look out for others. Years ago, after earning a degree in IT and working in corporate jobs, BJ started learning about investment properties in order to help his wife’s family weather some difficult times. Not only was the real estate process interesting to him, but he enjoyed seeing the genuine impact he made on their lives. The more he learned, the more BJ became certain that he wanted to be a REALTOR®. Today, BJ oversees five offices and fif- teen agents, plus several employees as the broker/owner of Burrows Tracts in Elmwood, Nebraska. “We’re a small brokerage, but we provide the same full-service that a large brokerage would,” says BJ.

While BJ works as a broker, he also continues to sell properties. Around 90% of his clients come from referrals who heard about the top level service he provides as a REALTOR®. “Our business is very relational, not transactional,” says BJ. “I am friends with many of my clients.” At this point, BJ’s network of buyers and sellers is so extensive that many properties are sold before they even hit the market. BJ also goes above and beyond to act as a resource to clients after the sale for everything related to the industry. He frequently makes recommendations for vendors, contractors, and more.

BJ’s wife serves as the in-house photographer for all their listings. Additionally, she manages their marketing and media efforts, always putting a personal touch on their branding. “She really makes the listings shine,” says BJ. They also take drone footage and use Matterport technology to do 3D virtual walk-throughs.

Very active in his community, BJ is involved with multiple boards and local associations from economic development to the Chamber of Commerce. He frequently participates in sports and church fundraisers and organizes scholarships for high school students who are graduating. His brokerage also volunteers with many different local charities. For fun, BJ enjoys everything outdoors-related, including fishing, hunting and camping with his kids.

BJ loves sticking to a plan and for the next few years, that includes thoughtful expansion of his brokerage. In the near future, he’s aiming to recruit some new agents.
