During one of the most challenging real estate markets in many years, I have been able to build a thriving business when others were struggling to earn just a basic living.  My approach has always been centered on a client first philosophy, treating my clients as more than just ‘transactions’.  After only my second full year as a realtor, I achieved my former company’s Chairman’s Club level with almost $10 million in sales.  Previous to my real estate career, I spent 26 years with the foreign service, working around the world.  Living in 17 different homes (four states and four foreign countries) during my 35 year marriage, I have become a TRUE relocation specialist.  What better way to appreciate the importance of helping a family move into a new area and settle in quickly!  I particularly enjoy working with clients who are coming from outside the region to live and work in the Washington, D.C. area.  One former client was the local Fox morning news anchor.  I found he and his family a beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood.  I am proud to say that during an on-air interview in which the real estate industry was being attacked, he commented that his realtor worked extremely hard and deserved what he earned.

Since switching the Bob Nelson Team to Keller Williams Realty, we have grown to now include four full time realtors, with back-up support from four loan officers, a solid home inspection group, two real estate settlement companies, a real estate attorney and numerous other ancillary support professionals.

My previous work experiences have included not only the U.S. Foreign Service, but several years spent teaching and also working in the construction field.  I’ve built four homes, and done extensive renovations to each of my own homes. These experiences have certainly been an asset as I help my clients understand the quality of the homes they are considering buying and the neighborhoods in which they plan to live.

As an active member of the Great Falls Community for over 25 years:

I have coached every sport from T-ball to high school wrestling as my two sons grew up here in Great Falls.

I am a proud sponsor of the Great Falls Summer Concert on the Green Series.

I recently initiated a Great Falls based Business to Business Networking Group which has been growing with each subsequent meeting.

I am most proud of my “MILITARY APPRECIATION MONDAYS” fundraising efforts on behalf of our servicemen and women.  Begun a little over a year ago, these events have grown from 8 attendees to over 125 attendees and raising about $50 at the first event, to a high of $4,600 raised for the “Lift Me Up” therapeutic horseback riding program for injured veterans.
