What Our Clients Are Saying...

"Andy helped us in our first home buying experience 4 years ago. He was very polite and considerate of our needs and wish list. He was so friendly he made us feel he was helping out a friend vs we were just his clients. That quality is a rare gift and I love it. He walked us through beginning to end from filing for a preapproval loan to all the negotiations for the house including things we would never have thought of to ask. When it came to move out of state, he even helped us with our selling needs. I would definitely recommend Mr. Nelson to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."
