Your Lincoln NE Realtor Ashley Hustad
I’m Ashley, a Texas girl at heart who somehow landed in Nebraska—and 25+ years later, I’m still here, helping people make big moves as a top Lincoln Realtor. (I’ve mostly lost the accent, but “y’all” still slips out daily.) I met my husband, Mark, in high school, and we’ve been married since 2003. Together, we’re raising five amazing kids—four wild-hearted boys and one sassy little girl who keeps us all in line. All five came to us through adoption, including four through the foster care system, which has shaped so much of who I am.
I’ve been honored to rank among the top agents out of over 1,000 for the past two decades.
I thrive in organized chaos, which might explain why we also have two dogs who think they run the house. Real estate is a natural fit for me—fast-paced, emotional, and high-stakes, with real people at the center. That’s my favorite part: the people. I don’t just open doors and negotiate offers; I help guide families through one of life’s most stressful transitions with humor, clarity, and a solid strategy.
For sellers, I roll up my sleeves and help prep every home for success—lining up reliable contractors, fine-tuning market presentation, and making sure every detail works in your favor. I’ve built a trusted network and a strong track record of helping homes sell quickly and for top dollar.
For buyers, it’s all about clarity and timing. I listen hard, plan ahead, and move fast—because in a competitive market, you don’t get second chances. We’ll work closely to find your home, write a smart offer, and make sure you feel confident every step of the way.
I’ve been honored to rank among the top agents out of over 1,000 for the past two decades, thanks to the incredible people who trust me enough to refer their friends and family. Many of them have become like family themselves—and that’s what this business is really about.
At the end of the day, if you choose people over everything, you always win.

Testimonials
Get to know Ashley
What are some of your hobbies?
We have 5 kids to chauffeur to sports and events so that fills a lot of my free time. My husband and I enjoy attending Husker football games (even in these rebuilding years *wink*) as well as escaping away to travel as much as possible throughout the year.
What single event/person/thing has most changed your life?
The BancWise founder, Larry Zitek, was not only my boss but my mentor and friend. Even though he was the picture of health, the unexpected happened: in 2014 he was diagnosed with an incurable and aggressive brain tumor. Witnessing his incredible grace and strength as the cancer took his life has forever changed me. He spent those hard months appreciating all he was given and figuring out a way to help others manage the extra expense they (and their family) accumulate while fighting the disease. Larry’s life affected me in so many ways business wise but in much bigger ways personally.
What do you like most about helping people buy and sell a home?
Whether you are a first time buyer or a seller looking to move up…it’s stressful! I enjoy coming alongside my clients and educating and guiding them throughout the entire process. Nothing beats ecstatic clients on closing day. I’m so grateful to have worked with some pretty fabulous people through the years and it’s an honor when they refer me their family and friends so the “web” of connections deepen.
What have been your accomplishments throughout your real estate career?
My biggest accomplishments in my real estate career are less about numbers and ratings and more about helping clients and friends navigate stressful transitions. By staying people focused and not transaction-only focused, I have been able to stay a top rated Lincoln Ne Realtor for over 10 years. I also have the honor or mentoring other agents. Seeing them learn and grow and ultimately have a successful business is so fulfilling.
