Get To Know Our Team | Aksarben Mortgage

Welcome to Aksarben Mortgage 

Aksarben Mortgage professionals extend to clients the kind of personalized care we’d give our own family and friends. We take the time to get to know our clients, feeling that the better we understand their goals and needs, the better we can serve them. 

But we also feel it’s important for our clients to know us as well. So, we’d like to introduce our team. 

Nick Zwiebel, Co-owner and mortgage loan originator

During the course of his18-plus year career in finance, Nick has gained a deep understanding of the mortgage industry and helped over 2,000 families experience their good life – homeownership. Now, Nick has taken what he has learned from his time with Fortune 500 companies, national financial institutions, and locally-owned companies to establish his own venture, Aksarben Mortgage. His goal as a mortgage professional is always to educate clients on the financing options available to them and to find a loan program that fits their lifestyle.  

Nick offers a wide range of loans, including Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, NIFA, New Construction, Jumbo, and Investment mortgage loans. He works with first-time buyers as well as return buyers and helps clients pre-qualify for their dream house loan or refinance existing loans to provide a financial cushion. 

Nick has long called Omaha home. After graduating from Northwest High School, he attended Wayne State College for one year before transferring to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he studied finance. Nick graduated with a BSBA degree in 2001.

John “Mortgage” Major, Co-owner and lead mortgage advisor

John has over 10 years of experience in the financial sector, including employment with large national banks and local startup ventures alike. He brings to Aksarben Mortgage a blend of deep industry knowledge and strategic thinking to educate and guide clients in one the largest, and emotional, financial decisions they will ever make – buying a home. 

John’s specialties include move up and first home buyers, new construction, second home and investment properties, medical and dental professional loans, VA financing, and refinancing. He enjoys working in tandem with real estate agents, insurance advisors, and title companies to offer a seamless, hassle-free home buying experience. And by employing a winning combination of cutting edge technology, powerful communication, and custom-tailored guidance, John meets his clients’ unique needs.

An Omaha native, he attended Westside High School. John was a student-athlete at Hastings College, where he double-majored in marketing and advertising/public relations and played soccer for the Broncos before earning his bachelor’s degree in 2008. 

When John is not helping clients experience their good life, he can be found playing squash, what he calls “the chess of racquet sports, participating in early morning workouts with his F3 community, and sampling a selection of cold brews. His favorite pastime, however, is any activity he can do with his wife, KT, daughter, Quinn, and son Michael.

Both John and Nick enjoy partnering with local brokerage kwELITE to serve Omaha's Metro to find their dream homes. Learn more about kwELITE's Omaha and Columbus locations that are ready to serve home buyers and sellers with an ELITE level of service.
