In 1873 Col. Frederick M. Woods moved from Illinois to Lincoln. Thirteen years later, with the help of three of his sons, Mark, Frank, and George, he founded the Woods Bros Companies. This was the genesis of Woods Bros Realty.

History
From the beginning, the Woods Bros were in the forefront of developing in Nebraska. They were involved in a wide range of enterprises including land sales, residential and commercial development, nurseries, river construction and containment work, farming, telephone companies, street car companies, truck manufacturing, and they pioneered the fledgling aviation industry. They were leaders in everything that helped Lincoln grow into one of America’s finest cities.

Since the turn of the century, land development has been the keystone to the Woods Bros Enterprises. More than 25% of all Lincoln families live in Woods Bros additions totaling 6,600 acres. More than 70 additions developed by the Woods Bros family and their associates have provided homes for six generations of Nebraska families who have put their trust in our services.

Committment to Community
