When purchasing a new home it is important to know if the Realtor you are working with is a capable, dependable and experienced professional.
I believe that I am just that!

I know Tucson, Oro Valley, Marana, Sahuarita and Vail Real Estate and I am committed to providing the expertise, professional representation and superior customer service needed in today's market.

 When looking to buy a new construction home from one of the many large new home builders here in the Tucson and surrounding communities you need a Certified New Home Specialist to represent you. Most new home buyers dont realize that the sales people for the builders only represent the builder not the buyer. The sales people have a fiduciary responsibility to tell the builder everything that you might disclose to them during their trust building sales pitches. This is one of the many reasons you need Michael J. Nelson a Certified New Home Specialist to represent you in buying a new home.

I sold New Homes for 8 1/2 years with one of the nations largest homebuilders here in Tucson. I know their sales pitches, the numbered steps to a sale that the builder requires the sales people to use on you, their lenders and the tactics the builder uses to get you to use their lender, the construction process and many if not all the sub-contractors they use, the home warranty in and outs, when to do a walk-thru, how to get builder superintendent to be your friend not your enemy and most importantly, how to protect you in probably the most important buying decision you will ever make.

It is my goal to display professionalism above reproach in each transaction. My experience and knowledge assure you the competitive edge in today's real estate market. My pledge to you is to use all of the resources available to benefit you.
