Fantastic experience: I just closed the sale of my home and I used agents Debbie and Ryan Nelson. They did a remarkable job photographing and marketing our home. It was on the market for three days and we received an offer over our asking price. This was due to the fact that Debbie knows the market, recommends competitive pricing, communicates with agents and is always present for her clients. She is a phenomenal agent and I highly recommend the Nelson team (when buying or selling). Debbie deserves many more stars than five!!

Fantastic experience: Working with Ryan from the Nelson Team was an absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish. Selling a home can often feel overwhelming, but Ryan made the entire process smooth, efficient, and stress-free. His communication was outstanding every step of the way. He was always responsive, kept us informed, and made sure we understood exactly what was happening throughout the process. That level of transparency and professionalism gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind. The closing process at their office was equally impressive; organized, seamless, and handled with great care. Everything was clearly explained, and the team made sure the final steps were just as smooth as the rest of the journey. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely supportive real estate team, I can’t recommend the Nelson Team enough. They truly go above and beyond for their clients.

Fantastic experience: The Nelson Team did an excellent job assisting us in finding our first home! Ryan is a realtor who possesses a high level of expertise from his numerous years in real estate. He was able to find us a fantastic home in a great price range within a very short time. He was very helpful in terms of breaking down each step for us, which was especially helpful given we were first-time buyers. This team was very quick to respond and always provide ample information to any inquiries we had. Ryan is a very personable individual who was very easy to get along with and work alongside. In terms of the home buying process, Ryan was great at pointing out features in a home that one may favor or be wary of. His honest and thorough analysis of each property made us feel much more secure in our decision. He was not afraid to tell us “honestly, from what I see here, I don’t think this would be a good fit for you.” This honesty was something we appreciated immensely as it showed that he truly cared about finding us a home we would appreciate, opposed to just finding one quickly to get the job done. This thorough care, honesty, and attention to detail are why we would highly recommend the Nelson team in your home-buying endeavors!

Marcy Beckett Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I actually was fortunate to have Debbie help me as my realtor. This was over 12 years ago. My house sold within days. Awesome! But now I had to find somewhere to live. My ideal new home would have a garage, a basement and at least three bedrooms. I knew I wouldn’t get all three. I was deciding between a house with a garage and no basement, and a condo with a basement and no garage. At the last second a duplex type condo became available with all of my needs. The attached garage was even two car! Debbie worked fast and even had me come to her home to sign papers that day. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase! It’s the perfect home for me and my family. I have the best neighbors I’ve ever had. I hope I never have to leave!! Thank you

Jacob Berkal Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Ryan is hands down the most attentive, responsive, dedicated and knowledgeable agent we have ever worked with. Buying a home is a stressful undertaking, but his calm demeanor and understanding our hesitations has made this an incredible experience. There is no better person to trust when it comes to finding your future home!

lalunch Published on Google

Fantastic experience: The Nelson team was great! They have a lot of experience and that helped us secure the house we wanted. Even though we were trying to buy far away from their offices, they were always on top of the new listings and sharing options with us. They were always very accommodating on times to go see the different properties. I would definitely recommend them and will work with them in the future if I'm trying to buy or sell.

Aubrey Allen Published on Google

Fantastic experience: We have partnered with the Nelson Team for four of our properties, and each experience was executed with efficiency, professionalism, and care.

Fantastic experience: Best realtors ever! Our experience with the Nelson Team was excellent in every way. From the time we started searching for our new home, right through the purchase and closing, we received excellent assistance and guidance. The Nelson Team was patient (we looked at so many homes), persistent about finding a good fit for us regarding price and location, responsible about setting appointment times and keeping them, thorough about educating us through every step of the process, and professional in every detail. We highly recommend the Nelson Team to anyone who is in the market to buy or sell a home, and can’t imagine anyone who would work harder to meet their clients’ needs.

Eric Ramar Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I wholeheartedly recommend the Nelson Team! Working with Ryan and Debbie to sell our old home and buy our new one was an exceptional experience. Their expertise, sharp insights, and hands-on approach were instrumental. They provided valuable suggestions for making our old house more appealing and devised a brilliant pricing strategy that far exceeded our expectations. In our quest for a new home, the Nelson Team listened attentively to our needs and offered invaluable advice. Despite visiting so many properties, their unwavering support and positivity helped keep us encouraged. Debbie and Ryan's availability and guidance throughout the entire process made us feel cared for. We felt that they truly had our best interests at heart. Our experience with the Nelson Team was outstanding, and we highly recommend them to anyone in the market to sell or buy. They truly deliver exceptional service.

Ryan I cannot thank you enough for the kind words. It was a journey but I loved every second of it. I hope your family enjoys growing together in that beautiful home!

Michael Ramar Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Ryan went above and beyond when my wife and I bought our first house this year. He was able to get us our dream home without paying crazy amounts over asking or settling for something less than perfect. He explained everything clearly and really helped us get the best deal possible. You’ll be very happy you decided to go with Ryan whether you’re buying or selling!

Peter Costello Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Ryan was outstanding throughout the home buying process. I was a first time buyer and he walked me through each step from offer to closing. When it came to concessions, he was able to negotiate a great deal for me. Ryan is a true professional and I could not recommend the Nelson group enough.

Jeff Ferry Published on Google

Fantastic experience: The Nelson team was outstanding through every step of selling our house. They came in and took care of every intimate detail and walked us through the entire process from staging to signing the documents. Their support for vetting over 30 offers in a 48hr period including contingencies to find the best one was insurmountable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to sell or purchase a new home.

Thank you for allowing us to help in your selling process. It was a bit of a warzone with all those showings but we got it done! I hope you enjoy your amazing new home backing to the park with your family!

john Stirz Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Ryan Nelson is a top notch realtor. As a first time home owner, Mr. Nelson had great insight on what to look for in every house we would see (we saw quite a few), He helped us find a house in the location and with the specifications we desired, When it was time to put an offer on a house Mr. Nelson guided us on how much to offer and/or what the offer should look like if we wanted a chance at getting the house, and when my wife and I heard the news that our offer had been accepted we were beyond excited and I could tell Ryan was excited for us as well. Not only because he no longer had to show us house after house, sometime 5 or 6 in a day, but because he knew we were happy to have a chance to start a life here. All in all I couldn't have asked for a better experience buying a home that I can now call my own Thank you SO MUCH Ryan Nelson and the Dobi Real Estate Team

Michael Tolomei Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I recently worked with Ryan to purchase a new home and couldn't be more pleased with the result. Ryan was incredibly knowledgeable about the local market and gave great advice throughout the entire process. Not only was he professional and courteous, he also went above and beyond to ensure I was able to find the perfect home. I'm very happy with the results and would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking to purchase a home!

Katie Huetson Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Ryan Nelson has been the best realtor we have ever worked with. Buying a home can be a stressful time, especially in these last few years, but Ryan’s knowledge, experience, connections, and professionalism made our process stress free. Ryan really listened to what we were looking for and was able to target his search for exactly what we wanted. We are now living in our ideal neighborhood with our dream house! There is honestly no one else I would work with! I highly recommend this whole group!

Michael Wetzel Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend working with Ryan enough. Ryan was incredibly helpful through the whole process and so knowledgeable on the current market and industry. He set proper expectations and never over promised. There were several times where he predicted how something would play out when submitting an offer and negotiating. My wife and I felt at ease knowing that things would be done right, and when they were supposed to be done. I ask a lot of dumb questions about everything. Ryan had answers to everything and my questions did not seem to bother him at all, although they did seem to bother my wife on several occasions. I have already recommended Ryan to several people and will continue to do so.

Gabrielle Testa Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Ryan Nelson is exceptional at what he does! My experience with him was very pleasant. Ryan went above and beyond to make sure my fiancé and I were happy during the entire house hunting experience, especially when he found us our new home. Thank you Ryan!

Jon Casper Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Ryan and the rest of the team were great to work with! We looked at over 30 houses in a 3 week span, typically seeing several houses in a single day. Ryan was very detailed in mapping out a route that made this search go as smoothly and efficient as possible. You won’t find a Team that is more dedicated to their clients than the Nelson Team!

Thank you for the kind words Jon. I love what you have done with the place and I can't wait to enjoy the pool with you and the family this summer!

Ken Meagher Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Ryan and the team are simply put, the best in the business. We ended up purchasing our home in the midst of the pandemic, adding challenges that no one had really dealt with before. This impacted nothing about our process and I would argue gave us a competitive advantage as Ryan navigated the COVID restrictions flawlessly. Our showing tours were always organized and efficient with the homes always lining up with what we were looking for. We ended up finding our dream home and ended up getting it under asking price, essentially unheard of these days. We’re lucky to have Ryan and the Nelson team as our realtors and friends. Would recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell their home.

Fantastic experience: Ryan was very professional, with courtesy and great experience. As a first time buyer I had many questions and had no idea how the process worked. Ryan was very easy to work with, answering any question I could think of, giving me solid confidence on all my decisions. Overall the Nelson team is Highly experienced, professional and can get the job done in a timely manner. I highly recommend Ryan and his team to anyone looking.
