I am gazing out the window of my new home here in San Anselmo with a deep sense of gratitude. I am not sure how we would have gotten here without the two of you.

When we started talking of selling our home in San Rafael I was overwhelmed and not sure of what to do first. You came in and completely transformed our somewhat dated home and brightened it up so much so that I was not sure I wanted to leave it. The team you brought in was personal, professional, fun, and left the stress out of the equation (on my side at least). The paint, the floors, the updated kitchen with new appliances, the staging and the landscaping turned out beautifully and surprisingly under budget. Chris set up a “no stress” loan through Compass with no pressure or fees attached to update everything at the house without feeling strapped. Our home quickly sold during the power outage with multiple offers for way over asking. Needless to say we were thrilled!

We feel incredibly lucky to have landed in San Anselmo, Sleepy Hollow with a stellar school district, family friendly neighbors, trails galore and a POOL! I was so impressed with the way you handled the negotiations of buying our new home. You helped us take care of everything! The inspections, the contracts, the timing of selling/buying at the same time was smooth and we feel we got what we wanted without having to feel stressed or that we overpaid for our new home.

Your professionalism and personal attention helped us feel like you were there for us night and day. Honestly you are the perfect match for us as realtors and now as friends. I cannot thank you enough for all of your hard work, your commitment, your friendship and your attitude towards life. You get us and to me that is key.

There really are no words to describe just how wonderful it has been to work with The Nelson Group. I had been referred to Caroline when we were looking for a home in Mill Valley to raise our family. We were new to the area and Caroline helped us every step of the way: from choosing the right neighborhood for our family, to educating us about the local schools, to finding us the perfect home. She knows Marin like the back of her hand Caroline was incredibly strategic in making an offer on our home, saving us a great deal of money. We have since worked with Caroline to buy and sell 2 homes- a total of 4 transactions. Her advice in preparing the houses for sale and deciding the list prices has been spot on! We have done very very well with each transaction. I can not recommend Caroline enough. She held my hand every step of the way through it all. She made the experience fun and rewarding. It was also a pleasure working with her husband, Chris. His expertise about homes, inspections, and the overall landscape was invaluable. He was always there to help us with our many varied requests and needs. I would never buy or sell a house in Marin without the help of the Nelsons.

We could not be happier with Caroline and Chris Nelson of The Nelson Group. They believed in the vision we had and helped us execute in a most professional manner. No detail was overlooked, and it reflected in the final result. Our home received an offer after just 2 days of off-market showings and it sold for the highest price per square foot on market sale in our neighborhood in 2020.

We just had an amazing experience selling our home with Chris Nelson of the Nelson Group! Finding the right realtor through the interview process was exhausting , but we are so glad we held out until we met Caroline and Chris. From the moment they walked into our home, they had an exciting vision of how to update our 1980’s home so that we could get the price we were looking for.
But they didn’t stop there. Chris made sure we had all the bases covered regarding preparing the home for inspections, etc. They also interviewed several home stagers to find the right group suited to achieve the look we were going for. When they introduced us to Steve West of Go West Staging, we knew we had top notch professionals on our team. The expertise and experience of the Nelsons was invaluable during the whole process. We ended up with a finished product that brought us more than we had hoped, after only two days on the market! I highly recommend this kind and thoughtful team of professionals.

Our home sold after two days on the market, mostly because of the well-structured and executed plan Chris developed for us. He has a unique talent for taking the strengths of a particular property and turning it into an eye-catching and market-ready property. Sincerity, hard work, local knowledge, and process facilitation all warrant a five-out-of-five. Selling and moving is one of the major life stressors; work with Chris to minimize that stress and maximize your return!

We chose to work with Caroline and Chris Nelson because of their experience and extensive knowledge of the real estate market in our area. I'm not sure there is a better team to work with when buying or selling in Marin. They represented us on our new home purchase and the sale of our previous home. They have a deep network of vendors that assisted us in preparing our home. Minor repairs, landscaping and staging was all coordinated by them which allowed us to focus on getting settled into our new home. Buying and selling a home is stressful and emotional; the Nelsons made this big life change seamless. We were fortunate to get 7 offers and ultimately sold $255k over our listing price! We would not only work with the Nelsons again but highly recommend them to anyone looking for truly unbiased guidance on buying or selling in Marin County.

This was my first time selling a property, so I was naturally nervous. Chris immediately allayed my anxiety with his enthusiasm, expertise and professionalism.

Despite coming to him part way through the Fall home sale season, he was able to use his extensive network of contacts to get the house shipshape, and on the market in record breaking time with polished, and professional marketing materials, as well as a thoughtful selling strategy. His association with Compass was an added bonus, since I was able to obtain a no-hassle advance against the sale, to assist with cash flow and peace of mind.

Chris Nelson came recommended to us by neighbors who had successfully used his services in selling a home. He succeeded in surpassing our expectations. He was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. His knowledge, expertise and guidance in our neighborhood and the market resulted in our receiving well above our asking price, which was beyond the advice of other brokers. We were amazed at how quickly he got to know us and the special nuances of our home. We are delighted to recommend Chris Nelson, and would not hesitate to use him again if the opportunity arose.

Caroline & Chris Nelson are the absolute BEST at what they do. After interviewing several real estate agents, I quickly settled on them to handle the sale of my parents’ condo. From start to finish they made each and every step of the process so easy, painless and stress-free for me. Caroline quickly got to work with upgrading & refreshing what was a tired look, turning it into a light and bright, welcoming home. Her sense of design and what looks best to a buyer’s eye is spot on. They showed up for every single inspection for me as I live far away, held an open house every weekend and listened to what I wanted. Their gentle guidance, positive attitude and professionalism are unmatched. They truly went above and beyond for me. I received the offer I wanted after just a couple of weeks on the market. I couldn’t be happier and would recommend Caroline and The Nelson Group to anyone!
