Jami Baedke - Broker/Owner

I was a first time home buyer and Jami and Premier made the process extremely easy for me. The process was a lot less overwhelming because of her help. Definitely recommend Jami and Premier to anyone in Vermillion and the surrounding area.

My fiancé and I recently purchased our first home with Premier. They made the process quick, easy and painless! Jami was our realtor and was incredibly helpful, kind and diligent. We are very grateful to Jami and the Premier team for helping us and would recommend them to anyone.

I have personal knowledge about this real estate company. Jamie Baedke, the owner of Premier was my realtor when I bought a commercial building here in Vermillion a month ago. I haven't dealt with buying commercial property before but I've got to say I had an incredible experience. She and her team know their stuff, she negotiated a great price both parties were extremely satisfied

Nikki Peters - Broker

Nikki was extremely helpful in helping my family figure out what we needed and wanted in a house. We were a little unsure what all our needs and wants were. She was very patient as we looked at several houses and even took me to look at houses that I had seen for sale on other sites. She was extremely knowledgeable on every aspect of the houses we were seeing. She let me know what would also be good updates to make down the road for the houses we saw to help us figure out what would...

Nikki has been great to work with throughout our search process. Not only someone that knows the local market, but also takes a customized approach to what you are looking for in this area.

*Zillow Review

I've bought 3 houses with Nikki and she is by far the most responsive person I've ever worked with. She was committed to helping me and it showed. My search took over a year and she was in touch with me the entire time. During the negotiation and mortgage parts, she made recommendations and checked on things that I would have never thought of. She's great! If you are looking for a realtor who truly has your best interest at heart, she's the one.

Kelly McKelvey - Broker Associate

Kelly was very professional and did an excellent job of walking us through the processes of buying and selling a home. Throughout the entire process we felt as though we could complete trust both her judgement and advice. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone buying or selling a home.

by Bubison1993
*Zillow Review

Kelly helped me and my wife bought a house five years ago and successfully completed selling the same house just two days ago. She is very nice agent. She is a knowledgeable agent on house market and always would like to answer our various questions. We had two very happy cooperation experience. She is not only my agent but one of my good friends as well. I would like to recommend her to other buyers and sellers. Thank you, Kelly. Best wishes for you all the time, Gang and Yumei.

Helpful knowledge of local resources readily shared such as moving people and local contractors for home building and upkeep. Even though things do not always go right, Kelly handled each situation positively and calmed the situation.

Kelly was extremely helpful throughout the entire home buying process. She was responsive to our questions, and very knowledgeable as well. We would not hesitate to call Kelly for our future realty needs.

*Zillow Review

When I reached out to a realtor Kelly McKelvey was the first to contact me and I quickly found it was because she was very very good at what she does. She supported us through the rollercoaster ride of selling and purchasing and she hung on tight when the ride was the rockiest. Seeing her name on phone calls and emails relieved anxiety and we remembered to breath. I cannot thank her enough. The gift that is on my front step from her reminds us of all we have overcome and how much this place means to...

Home Owner, *Facebook Testimonial

She knows her business like no one else, extremely knowledgeable about the community and she pays attention to detail and needs of the home buyer. I have never worked with anyone who makes the whole process of buying a home so easy.

*Zillow Review

Kelly was a fantastic agent, particularly as we were first time home buyers. She was clear, very patient, and always reachable. She served as a great advocate for us as we worked to understand the process and conclude a negotiation where all parties left the transaction feeling positively about the results. We will definitely work with Kelly again should we ever leave our current home and I highly recommend her to others.

by Krisknisely
*Zillow Review

Kelly is very patient and knowledgeable, we worked with her for two years at different times to find the perfect house. Kelly answered all our questions and took the initiative to set up our closing at a perfect time for us and was with us every step of the way in every way imaginable! We would highly recommend Kelly to those who want knowledge and honesty!

by Roxkann
*Zillow Review

Kelly was a fantastic agent on both the sale of our old home and the purchase of our new one. She is honest, hard-working, and enjoyable to work with. We got a LOT more for our home than we had hoped for, and the process was very smooth from accepting the offer to negotiations after inspections. Even after closing, Kelly was helping out with questions and advice. We actually sold the home, full price, within a few days of listing it. Selling/buying a home can be stressful, but Kelly was always a calming influence. Her pleasant personality...

I am a full-time Real Estate Broker and have been actively selling real estate in and around Vermillion since 1998.

It is my pleasure to work with both buyers and sellers. I can assist you with residential, commercial, investment property, acreages, or land. If you are selling and are interested in the market value of your home, I can do a free market analysis for you and assist you with getting your home ready to sell.

It is extremely important to me to provide excellent, professional service to my clients. I understand how important buying and selling property can be, and I can help make the process a smoother one. I look forward to working with you!

Matt Olson - Broker Associate

Matt was on the lookout for a home for us and frequently updated us on new listings. He ended up finding us the perfect home and made the home buying process really easy! He made sure that we weren’t confused about any part of the process and assisted us with everything we needed! Thanks to Matt and the whole Premier team!

by Isaac and Grace Bennett
Home Owner's

I recently worked with Matt Olson to purchase our family’s home (in Vermillion) and cannot say enough positive things about our experience with him. Matt has a great deal of experience and knowledge of the area which he was happy to share with us. Matt quickly assessed what we were looking for in a home, and made it his point to research and present all available homes he felt suited us. During our visits, Matt made himself available to us and was extremely responsive to every one of our questions, no matter how big or small. When...

by John LaCognata

We recently moved to Vermillion from out of state, and we are so happy that we used Matt Olson as our realtor. We had a very limited amount of time to look for a new house, but he found us several properties that had features we wanted and were within our price range. He took a lot of time to walk us through each property, and answer our questions. He even scheduled a second last-minute walkthrough for us since we wanted to see one house again before we left town. We were able to buy a fixer-upper...

I have called Vermillion my home since I was two years old. I take great pride in belonging to this community and working, worshiping and building relationships with the people who live here.

My wife, our four children and I live on a farm North of Vermillion a mile from where I grew up. Among other jobs that I have held in the community, I also farm part time with my dad and uncle.

In the Spring of 2005 I obtained my Real Estate License. I very much enjoy working at Premier. I would love to work with you on your Real Estate needs, whether it is a home in the country or in the city. If your interest is in agricultural land or the sale of a lot to build your dream home on, I will work with buyers or sellers to make the whole process as painless as possible. The market in Vermillion is always evolving, so call me anytime to talk about your housing needs. I thank you in advance for choosing Premier!

Sarah Taggart - Broker

It was such a pleasure to work with Sarah in buying a couple properties over the last few years. I am generally out of town, which makes the buying process a little more difficult and stressful. She did an outstanding job representing me as my agent, including working with my hectic schedule. She was readily available by email or phone, and very prompt with any answers or inquiries. I would highly recommend Sarah and Premier Real Estate, they simplify and make home buying process an easy and convenient experience.

by Jay Thaler

Sarah is a very personable real estate agent who is knowledgeable about the Vermillion market and has the skill set to make your closing a reality.

Great customer service! Everyone was so helpful. We are from California and had no clue where to begin looking for housing. We were so glad the branch manager at Wells Fargo referred us to Premier. Premier staff are the best!!! Thanks again for everything.
