Ava LeGrand-Swanson, a real estate agent and commercial real estate broker with NAI NP Dodge Commercial Real Estate, joins Grow Omaha to talk about the path from Division I volleyball to a career in Omaha real estate. A Papillion native, LeGrand-Swanson played four years at Kansas State, became the Wildcats’ starting setter and earned All-Big 12 recognition during her senior season.
LeGrand-Swanson discusses how the competitiveness, discipline and teamwork of college athletics translate into commercial real estate, where she is developing interests in industrial and retail properties. She also explains why she returned to Omaha after college, what she likes about the metro’s mix of urban and suburban options and how the arrival of more national retailers is changing the city for young professionals.
