Joel recently sold my home and he was very attentive, quick and customer-focused. I felt very much that we were working together as one team. I did not live in the area and he and his team handled everything end to end. It was a lot of work taken off of my shoulders. I would highly recommend Joel and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
I had the opportunity to contract with the Joel Nelson Group on the sale of a Estate Condo in Washington DC. I had an incredible experience on many levels including:
1) The condo was in terrible shape and had not been renovated in 45 years. Joel and his construction team completely upgraded the condo in 2 weeks and included floor refinish. plaster repair, painting floor refinish and upgraded to the Kitchen and bathroom. He also completed the renovation under budget.
2) The market has been very soft since last year and even though the efficiency market is particularly soft he keep pushing for more interest and showings over a several month period.
3) His team keep me informed during the sales process and I never felt that the condo would not sell.
4) Once the sale was complete at the asking price the team managed the entire closing process perfectly without any opportunity for change.
I could not have been happier with the Joel Nelson Team and would give them a mark of A++.

Thanks for this great review, which offers a detailed overview of our team’s process. Whether it’s a studio condo or a multi-million dollar home, we love serving clients like you.
Taylor Irwin and the rest of the Joel Nelson Group recently helped us sell our home in the Hill East area, and they truly went above and beyond to get us to success in the midst of a difficult real estate market! Taylor was wonderful to work with, deeply knowledgeable and hardworking, superbly responsive and highly skilled at addressing our questions and at negotiating, and also incredibly kind and personable. From discussing the initial strategy and staging to the final acceptance of an offer, we completely trusted Taylor and her team and really enjoyed working with them. Highly recommend!

Taylor is a rock star! Our team and Taylor enjoyed prepping and bringing your home to the market. Congratulations on the sale.
I couldn't be happier with the exceptional service Joel Nelson and his team provided while selling our home. Throughout our tenure together, Joel demonstrated outstanding professionalism, expertise, and dedication. He guided us through every step of the process, offered excellent advice on preparing our home for the market, kept us informed throughout the process and was always available to answer questions. His knowledge of the market helped to achieve an excellent outcome.
If you're looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, honest, hardworking, and genuinely cares about his clients, we wholeheartedly recommend Joel and his team. Thank you, Joel!

Thanks for giving the amazing Alexi Noelle 5 stars - we are thrilled for you and your home!
Joel Nelson and his whole team worked tirelessly to get our house ready for sale, their ongoing communication was helpful and they got us more than our asking price. Selling a house is complicated and I really appreciated the team’s “There is no such thing as a stupid question” attitude with me.

We enjoyed working with you (and answering your questions) -- it’s what we love to do! Congrats on the sale and best of luck.
Working with Joel and his team was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Bottom line: we sold our house with two above-asking offers 4 days after our house came on the market. From the beginning, Joel gave clear, helpful advice on what relatively minor investments to make to improve the house before listing. Then he and his team executed super quickly and effectively. We could not have felt in better hands.

Joel and his entire team at the Joel Nelson Group made the process of updating, staging and selling my home a complete success. Their regular communications, clear expectations, and enormous follow thru were exactly what I needed during a complicated moment in my life. Thank you JNG!

Thank YOU Jeff for trusting us with the sale of your home. On to your next adventure!
I have bought and sold homes in half a dozen US cities so I was not expecting a smooth experience in DC. Joel and his group surprised me because they did the best job ever. They took care of every detail and were available whenever we had questions. It was a great home sale experience!

So pleased we exceeded your expectations - this was a fun one to bring to the market. Thanks for trusting JNG with your home sale.
