Search. Rescue. Home.

Real estate broker, mortgage loan officer, investor, husband, proud dad of two, and U.S. Coast Guard veteran.

James Nelson
My story

Education before decisions

In the Coast Guard, the mission was search and rescue. It still is. Today I search out people heading into rough financial water, like overpaying for a home, choosing the wrong loan, or rushing a sale, and help them get home safely.

I'm licensed both as a real estate broker and as a mortgage loan officer, so I can explain how the home, the sale, and the financing fit together. You'll understand the numbers and your options before you sign anything.

As an investor myself, I run the same math for clients that I run for my own properties. And as a husband and a dad, I know a home is about a lot more than a transaction.

The values I learned in service are the ones I bring to every client: commitment, integrity, and always having your back.
