Company Information


Cortney Sells is an accomplished business woman and entrepreneur with the expertise and instincts for getting deals done. As leader of THE FIRM’s team she works personally with clients as well as positioning the company for future growth. Prior to founding THE FIRM, Cortney was recruited to be a talent agent in New York City and Southern California. She returned to Nebraska and founded Agency 89, the only licensed talent school in the state. Miss Sells’s ability to connect buyers and sellers was recognized by an Omaha business brokerage and she was the top broker in Nebraska in 2010 and 2011, completing 15 transactions. Now, as the managing partner of THE FIRM, she is very involved in the community and serves through several organizations. Cortney Sells is one of the most recognized and influential young business woman in Nebraska.

Miss Sells comes from an intriguing and inspiring background. She was raised on a large cattle ranch in the Sandhills. She then studied Political Science at the University of Kansas. Sells then moved to Southern California where she graced several international modeling and talent campaigns.
At the age of 22, Cortney was recruited to be a talent agent for high end clientele in New York City. Not long after, Cortney chose to move home to Nebraska where she founded Agency 89. This agency was the only licensed talent school in the state. She had well over 1000 students, 50+ teachers and employees, as well as, launched her own apparel and makeup line. Though Miss Sells enjoyed helping to mentor and develop young ladies; she needed more. That is when she was recruited to become a business broker. Cortney Sells has clearly excelled in leading and directing individuals seeking success.
As Managing Broker of The Firm LLC, Ms. Sells oversees the platform of expansion in all capacities. Her career has launched, as she has developed a sound portfolio of over 70 cash flowing businesses where she represents both buyers and sellers. Miss Sells focuses on fostering business relationships by building strategic partnerships for the future. She works one on one with business owners, benchmarking success. Cortney, solely, has completed over an astonishing 15 mergers and acquisition in 2010; this put Cortney Sells in the first seed position as top business broker in Nebraska, with the second place broker following her at 9 transactions. When asked what sets Cortney apart from the pack she said, “We use connectivity to translate client to client, in the course of conceptual elements-it is my privilege to assist my clients; and that shows. I am truly blessed.”
Sells finished her interview by sharing insight of sucess- "I project calculated risk and pushing the envelope of my experiences throughout my life style; both personally and professionally. I use uncertainty to my advantage, through cultivating relationships and distinguishing my portfolio."
