• My wife and I met Ken in his office one day while shopping. We began to chat and found out we had many things in common. Ken took the time to listen to our wants and needs and set up introductions to new construction options versus existing listings to confirm our preferences. Ken had excellent taste for design, décor, and function. After returning to our home in Michigan, Ken continued to keep us informed with new listings which would match our wants and needs. He was always available via phone for any questions about the properties we previewed. One day we received a listing that we believed was the one for us in Oro Valley. Ken immediately set up a video walk through tour of the home via FaceTime. We relied on Ken's honest feedback on the house and his impression of its quality, functionality, and the HOA community. Based on viewing the house and Ken's expert feedback, we made an offer on the house. People might think we were crazy to buy a house we never visited, but we put faith and trust in our working relationship in Ken and found out our trust was spot on when the deal was done, and we first visited our new home. Ken's expert and honest opinion of the property was more than accurate.Once the sale was finalized Ken continued to be of great service. When a summer storm brought down a tree limb onto the sidewalk, the HOA sent an email to fix the problem immediately which was difficult to do from Michigan, so I called Ken for help. Within 2 hours he went over with a saw, took care of the of the problem, then provided a local reference for tree service for our future needs. Additionally, Ken has been a reliable source to reference local gardeners and businesses. His professional connections provide a great help to newcomers like us, unfamiliar with Tucson's housing environment. I would highly recommend Ken to anyone seeking a person who has great listening skills, communication skills, and a heart of serving. We rate Ken 10 out of 10.

  • It is very difficult to put into words how positive our experience was working with Ken Nelson. Purchasing a home is a difficult process especially if you are living in another state. Ken was always available when we came into town on the weekends. His knowledge about the area and market conditions was very valuable when we finally made an offer. He held our hands through the closing. His services did not stop once we purchased the home. He also help us on getting painters and made sure the home was ready when we arrived. Once we arrived in AZ he continues to check in to make sure that we did not need any assistance. Ken Nelson provided a professional quality service that was above and beyond. We would highly recommend Ken to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a home. We were so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Ken.

  • With a recent move to Tucson, there were a lot of unknowns about the area. I somehow managed to get linked to Ken, and I am extremely thankful for this. Ken went above and beyond to assist with finding a home that fit my random requirements. I was out of town for work during this time which left my husband to be the only one going to see the homes. Ken lined up homes and set out with my husband for the day going to all the homes that fit our requests. The home we ended up purchasing came back on the market while a different offer was out. Ken sent over the information/pictures for the home and because Ken was so easy to make contact with, we jumped on the home with an offer in a matter of hours. Because of this, I feel that our offer was the chosen one and I am extremely thankful for all the work that Ken put into this.Ken was the ONLY realtor to respond back to me after several attempts at getting more information on homes in the area. I highly recommend!

  • Ken is the best!We have lived in the same house in Chicago for the last 20 years, so when we started looking for a new place in Tucson, it was a bit overwhelming. Ken was extremely patient and helped guide us and introduced us to this beautiful city. Since we lived out of town, Ken was nice enough to drive to all the houses that we were considering and gave us virtual tours. He was honest and noticed problems that we would have overlooked. It felt like Ken was buying a house for himself. When we finally closed on our dream home, Ken was kind enough to hold the keys for us until we drove down to Tucson. When we arrived, there was no electricity in the house, but Ken brought his coolers full of food and drinks to make our transition so smooth. It was so thoughtful. Ken was personable and made the whole process of purchasing a home a wonderful experience. Outstanding job!Thank you, Ken!

  • As seniors we contacted Ken to find a house for us in Marana Az.He sent us photos and infor on the houses that were available. When we found just the right one....he did the walk thru with us via video. going room to room and answering our questions...even to the size of the outside shed. When we got to Marana, he took us thru for the final walk thru and the house is just what we were wanting. All paperwork was handled ina very nice and professional way. Our escrow even closed a day earlier than original stated. Ken was a pleasure to work with and we would recommend him to anyone searching for a house in the area.Our thanks to Ken for making it a wonderful experience.

  • Ken was great and very patient with our home search. He was always accessible and answered our questions in detail and very clear manner. It took us 4 or 5 months - we were very specific on what we wanted on our home and our budget. But eventually we found our perfect home and he was gracious all the time. He never pushed us for a quick deal and was very honest on his opinions too. I highly recommend him.

  • Ken was the best throughout the entire house buying process. He helped me buy house at lowest price and with the least amount of hassle. I trust him completely. He has and attention to detail and is very thorough.

  • Ken Nelson should be the first call you make when searching for a new home. I am new to Tucson and wasn’t sure where I wanted to be, he took the time to take into consideration everything I would need within the community I would be looking to buy. He really went above and beyond setting up the viewing process of what was out there, working within my budget showing me properties that fit my criteria. Ken has worked with me through the whole process with patience on what and how I am going to move forward. I highly recommend Ken Nelson for the selling and buying of all your future properties. His style, honesty and attention to detail stand above all others.

  • We went to AZ for a week to find a winter/spring home. Ken basically spent his days and nights helping us pick properties during that time. With Ken’s help we were able to select a house and put in a successful bid. Ken went over and above throughout the inspection and walkthrough. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a property. --Ken went above and beyond expectations in our house search and purchase. We would highly recommend Ken for an unbeatable experience.

  • Ken is awesome . Ken sold my house while I was living out of state; essentially making a stressful situation go extremely smoothly. If I had a concern or issue Ken would get back to me quickly with the answer. Ken’s knowledge of the real estate process left me confidant in navigating the process of selling my house; I’m indebted to him for making the process so easy despite my distance from Tucson.

  • I’m new to the home buying process but felt completely at ease as a result of working with Ken. He showed me properties specific to what I was looking for, worked with my schedule and guided me through each step in the process when it came to purchasing my home. I never felt rushed to get into any house and appreciated his patience and expertise in the field. Ken carries himself with the utmost professionalism and always seeks the best for his clients. I’m beyond thrilled with the home I purchased and know that feeling couldn’t have been possible without Ken’s guidance. I will certainly be keeping my relationship with Ken for my future home buying and selling needs. Thank you, Ken, for being an integral part in this new chapter of my life!

  • Ken Nelson was absolutely amazing. I was a first time home buyer and was very particular in what I was looking for. I knew I needed a real estate agent that I could trust, and most importantly, listen to what I was looking for. I did not know where to turn to, but I was reading the Tucson Real Producers magazine, and saw Ken’s name in an article, it said he is a rising star agent in Tucson. After using him, I realize the article was being very modest, this man is a super star. Ken knows Tucson like the back of his hand, I told him the area of town I wanted, the style of house I wanted, and a laundry list of other wants. Ken would send me personalized listings the second they came onto the market if they checked off most of my list of must haves. I recognize I was difficult, Ken took me to countless showings, but he is a saint, he never once showed frustration or expressed any desire that I just make a decision. He told me that he would rather go to 99 houses that ended up not for me if it meant finding the 1 for me. Recently he sent me a listing that was “the one”. I had never gone through the house buying process and he made it so simple and seamless. I barely had to lift a finger from offer to closing; it seems like he has relationships with everyone whose anyone in Tucson. He helped me every step of the way answering all of my questions and helping me to understand everything. Finally, Ken is an absolute shark when it comes to negotiating. Whether you are buying or selling you need Ken in your corner. He will go to bat for you. When I am buying another or selling Ken is the first person I will be calling. If I could give him 10 stars I would because a 5/5 is an understatement.

  • Awesome work. Ken was amazing. very knowledgeable and hard working. Worked with our schedule and saw houses with us all across Tucson. Once we found a house he walked us through step by step, and kept us updated the whole procedure. I will be using ken again in the future and recommending him to my friends and family

  • Rockstar Realtor. First time buying a home and couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Ken Nelson. He made the entire process run smoothly from start to finish. I appreciated his friendly and practical approach & he always answered our questions thoroughly. It felt like working with a long time friend as opposed to a sales person. When it came to closing, he was instrumental to the success of the deal. He worked swiftly to put our offer in, coordinate with the appraisers, inspectors, and financing company. His willingness to network us with others in the field for service on our fixer upper was above and beyond our expectations. Overall, I have full faith in recommending him as a trusted resource to my friends and family. We’ll certainly work with him in the future on our next fixer upper!

  • Ken was great to work with! He treated us like we were his only clients. Prompt and professional and always available by text or phone. We will be using Ken again next year when we purchase another property in North Tucson!

  • Dependable Agent. It was a pleasure working with Ken. He had his hands full with me as I was working out of town during the entire purchase process. Ken had his colleague perform the initial walkthrough with me via FaceTime. He was present during the inspection and kindly FaceTimed me so I could be part of the process. I closed on the house remotely and Ken still made time to perform the final walkthrough with me AFTER the closing. He is very accommodating and kind. I highly recommend him.

  • Best agent I ever worked with. No nonsense guy. Dedicated and educated.

  • Simply͏ the Best Ken's knowledge of the Tuscon housing market paired with his knowledge of selling or buying real estate makes for a smooth low stress experience. Ken's attention to details and follow-up communication is unsurpassed. Ken goes above and beyond what is expected to make sure your questions are answered and is readily available by text or phone. If or when I ever decide to buy or sell a home again Ken will be my go to person.
    Dorothea Krevchuck
  • Pleasant͏ and wonderful to work with. Ken and I met online. After talking to him in person we found him to be very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. He showed us homes that we wanted to see and not ones he was pushing. He made us feel relaxed and not stressed to find a property. He also has a you tube channel that provides information about properties in Tucson along with sights, activities, attractions, and restaurants in Tucson. I would highly recommend anyone to use Ken Nelson as their Realtor.
    Willis Buehrle
  • Professional͏ and Personable, not Pushy I contacted Ken online about a property and he responded quickly and got me the information I needed. While that house wasn't a match, I kept in contact with Ken and he provided me with listings and guidance. What I liked is that I made it clear I was not in a position to buy right away as I was waiting for the house I was residing in to sell. While lots of other agents I talked to were pushy and I felt pressure to respond, Ken respected my timeline and gave guidance while letting it happen on my timeline. When the time came I was ready to buy, I found the perfect house for me and Ken negotiated a slightly reduced price. The transaction went smoothly between all parties and here I am in a home I love. I highly recommend Ken if you want a low key, but professional and thorough real estate agent. He also provided lots of valuable referrals to contractors in the area.
    James Martinez
  • My experience was very good. My experience with Ken was great. He is an experienced realtor, and it shows in his professionalism. He works well with other professionals in his field which promotes the success of the process of selling a house. I had no problems with my sale.
    Gail Bornfield
  • Highly͏ recommended, great experience Ken came in to save us when another realtor failed us. Ken was very transparent, gave sound advice, and steered us in the right direction. We had 2 offers on our home in 4 days! I really liked his work with virtual staging of the home and the effort put into marketing. Truly believe this made all the difference
    Tiffany Karsten
  • 5-Star͏ Rating, 10-Star Experience Ken was amazing! He did all the things that you would expect from an agent, he showed houses, he walked us through the process and all though other things you need to buy a house. Where Ken really excels is all the other stuff he does to find you a home. Our first trip to the Tucson area was just to check out area and to decide if this is where we wanted to live, Ken spent an entire day driving us around to the different sections of Tucson, giving us an idea of what life in Tucson would be like. He did all of this knowing that he would not make a sale during this trip. When we came back to actually look for a house you could tell that he was more concerned about finding us a home and making sure we would be happy then about making a sale. Unfortunately we didn't find our dream home on that trip. Ken wasn't phased, if we found something on-line Ken would arrange a virtual tour of the house within a couple of hours. He was always available to take my call and never seemed annoyed with my endless stream of questions, and trust me I had a lot of questions. Once we found a house, I should say he found us a house, his dedication to making the process smooth and to making sure the stress of buying a home was minimized. He handled everything. I'm kind of an old school guy, I value customer service and earning someone's trust and respect. Ken did that to the utmost degree. He is not only a phenomenal real estate agent, he's an amazing person. To state that I would recommend him is an understatement. If your thinking about buying a house in the Tucson area and you want someone you can trust to have you and your family's best interest in mind then Ken is who you want.

  • We were very fortunate to have the benefit of Ken Nelson as our buying agent. My wife and I are from Minnesota and did not have a real estate contact in the Tucson area. We were happily surprised to have Ken available to assist us in looking for a retirement home. He listened to our needs, asked several questions, understood our timeline and then quite quickly introduced us to many homes that met our financial criteria. Ken personally reviewed the home(s) and live streamed several for us. We found this to be very helpful in the decision making process. We had many questions regarding the home(s) and he was very thorough and knowledgeable with his responses. We found this to be very helpful in assisting us with the decision to make an offer on a chosen house. Ken was very helpful during the negotiation process and demonstrated that he thoroughly understands the real estate market and its ongoing fluctuations. I would highly recommend Ken Nelson for your real estate needs because of his professionalism, dedication, attention to detail, communication skills, thoroughness, positive and friendly attitude in seeking the best home in the desired location for his client.

  • Excellent͏ Customer Service! Ken was amazing! This was our first time purchasing land so there were many things we were ignorant to. Ken spent over a year diligently sifting through dozens of properties to find us the perfect one. We were out of the country, so Ken walked the land, took pictures, and scoped each of them out for us. We never felt pressured, and Ken was always optimistic about finding the "right" parcel. We had a great experience and highly recommend him.

  • Best͏ Listing Agent Ever! Ken͏ is truly the best listing agent in Southern Arizona. He was able to sell our house for well above asking price, thanks to his top-notch negotiation skills. Ken is professional, trustworthy, responsive, and efficient. Selling a home is no easy task, but Ken made the process so simple and stress free. Thank you Ken for all of your hard work. I look forward to working with you in the future!

He knows his business and is a very nice guy. He is always willing to listen, ready to answer questions, and explain the procedures, both taking care of the big picture as well as all details. He went above and beyond. Strongly recommended.
