Bought a home in 2012.
If you need to buy or sell a home, you can't do better than Joel Nelson and Alan Mertz. They are consummate professionals who thoroughly understand the complexities of the real estate business. They are also wonderful people--genuinely attentive to the needs and desires of their clients and an absolute pleasure to deal with. In a tight and difficult market for buyers, they recently guided my wife and me through the process of purchasing a home on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. They found exactly what we wanted and beat the competition with an innovative and aggressive negotiating strategy that got us a wonderful place at at a very fair price. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Sold a Condo home in 2012 for approximately $675K in Capitol Hill, Washington, DC.
If you want to sell a house on Capitol Hill, use Joel Nelson! We had contracts within a day and he helped us navigate through them and make the best decision for us. He was extremely knowledgable about the market, surrounding houses for sale, how to show the house and it was all without hassle. We highly recommend him,

You can not do better than Joel Nelson and his team. Joel helped us from soup to nuts: preparing the house for sale, selling it and then negotiating it with the seller and walking the house through to closing.

Sold a home in 2012.
Joel is the best professional we have ever dealt with in a transaction, and both my wife and I are lawyers and very picky. If you want someone to deal with every detail of selling your house, including recommending and coordinating extremely cost-effective and strategic repairs to your house, as well as full staging, Joel is your man. At every turn, Joel negotiated the situation brilliantly, and he always kept us informed and made us comfortable he was acheiving the very best outcome. Bottom line, he has YOUR interests in mind and heart and will achieve the best possible net sale you could hope for. Joel and his team are amazing. I just wish they could do other stuff for us beside real estate. Would absolutely love to work with them again. I give the the strongest possible endorsement. No realtor team we interviewed even came close. Great job!

Sold a Multi Family home in 2011 for approximately $750K in Near Northeast, Washington, DC.
We found that Joel and his team were not only the best prepared and professional listing agents we interviewed, they are your best advocate as well. Joel has also earned a reputation in the area as an excellent buyers agent, which we discovered helps exponentially while negotiating contracts with sellers.
When interviewing real estate agents, Joel was a step above the rest. He did his homework on our house prior to meeting with us, and was able to provide detail on not only his listing plan but provided detailed calculations on how he derived a potential listing price. His presentation, attention to detail, customer service and drive to exceed our expectations was the reason why we hired him.
Once we listed our house, he was an advocate for us (sellers) 100% of the time. We had 2 sets of potential buyers who were under contract with us, but because they had inexperienced buyers agents, Joel had to do much of the explaining and leg work. This was a complicated and frustrating process for Joel and us. However, Joel never faltered and remained positive the entire time! We sold at our listing price and were extremely happy with the outcome.
At the same time we were trying to sell our house, Joel was also our buyer’s agent. His reputation as an honest broker and expert in his field resonated with the buyer’s agent and played an influential role while the owners were reviewing our contract and our competitors. We strongly believe that it was because of Joel's earned reputation, that put our contract above the competitions and we were able to buy our "dream home."
Bottom line - we have no reservations in recommending Joel and his team as either a buyers or sellers agent. If we ever have to list our house to sell again, Joel will be our agent.

Bought a Condo home in 2011 for approximately $575K in Capitol Hill, Washington, DC.
I could not be happier with Joel Nelson and the joelnelsongroup realty team! Joel is second to none in his detailed knowledge of DC, it's unique homes and the specifics of each neighborhood/block. I considered myself a fairly knowledge buyer, but Joel provided invaluable information to supplement my internet searches and allowed me and my family to find a tremendous property that met all of our needs. Equally invaluable was Joel's ongoing advice as we evaluated different properties, as well as his extensive, hand-on knowledge of what it takes to make renovations to your historic home and a set of contractors who were equally qualified. In fact, Joel has such an extensive set of contacts and knowledge of the DC real estate market that we were ultimately able to find a home prior to it even going on the market. He and his team then made the actual sale process itself, including closing and financing truly easy and a total non-event. Joel continued to go above and beyond in laying out the different options to consider with our prior home and after discussing our financial objectives, encouraged us to rent vs sell, even walking us through staging our house. Even post purchase and during renovations, Joel continued to make himself available for reviewing detailed plans and offering insightful suggestions. It was examples like these that reiterated Joel is truly focused on what is best for his clients and has invaluable expertise on every facet of the real estate process. In the end, Joel and his team provided me all the tools, contacts and advice to feel confident about our purchase, knowledgeable about the entire real estate process, well-positioned to make desired renovations and grateful in the fact that he found us a home that met our specific needs.

My wife and I bought our first home with Joel in 2004, we sold that house and bought our second with him last year. The advice and guidance we've enjoyed with Joel and his team have been first rate. This was true not only during the times we were active in the market, but we relied heavily on Joel's advice while we made improvements to our first home during the intervening years. I'd recommend Joel and his team to anyone buying or selling a home in the DC area.
