“UNMC Real Estate With Honors serves all medical center employees who are looking to buy or rent in the Omaha metropolitan area,” Nelson said. “The independent real estate professionals who participate in this service can provide help in selling or renting a property. They can explain the new $8,000 tax credit for homebuyers or answer questions about home financing. For many people, they are just looking to upgrade their living quarters after landing a promotion, internship or research position. Whatever your situation, this service can help.”
