Our History

The Haley Difference

Haley Residential was founded in 1992 as Dial Equities, Inc. by Jack Haley, following his return to Omaha after decades of distinguished service in the United States Air Force. Under his leadership and personal efforts, the company grew to well over $60 million in multifamily holdings operating more than 2,000 units by 1998.

To do this, he formed a strong leadership team with expertise in the industry’s core disciplines: investment debt and equity, legal and transactional services, strategic thinking and best practice multifamily operations. Continuing strategic and technological growth at Haley Residential requires the continuous improvement and entrepreneurial spirit spoken of in our Core Values.

In 2018, our name changed to Haley Residential to honor Jack Haley’s legacy and guide the organization into its next 25 years. Today, Haley Residential strives to anticipate industry innovation and work diligently to explore and adopt the best available tools to create both cash flow and property value. Haley Residential currently manages over 10,000 units in more than 60 communities across the United States valued in excess of $950 million.

Our Founder

Jack Haley

John “Jack” E. Haley was born in Valley, Nebraska, on March 13, 1936. Here Jack worked with his father for the Union Pacific Railroad until he graduated from Valley High School in 1953. Jack earned a degree in electrical engineering from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln before joining the United States Air Force in 1958. Jack retired in 1978 after 20 years of service in the Air Force. In 1992, Jack returned to Omaha, Nebraska, to found Dial Equities, Inc. with Omaha native Don Day. By June of 1998, Dial had multifamily holdings of $65 million.

Jack also founded an affiliated group of real estate operating and investment entities including The Haley Communities LP Funds, Haley Securities, and Haley Real Estate Group, which collectively own and operate multifamily holdings valued at more than $950 million.

Though Jack passed away on July 2, 2011, his vision continues today as his companies pursue his primary goals: to take care of investors and to manage a $1 billion real estate portfolio.
