Beth Nelsen
I came to real estate from an unconventional background - documentary filmmaking. Before selling homes, I was investigating stories, uncovering truths, and asking the hard questions. (You might have even seen my work, I exposed a major land deal scandal that made international headlines.)
Why does this matter for you? Because research and advocacy are what I do best. When you work with me, you're not just getting an agent - you're getting someone who will dig deep to find answers, uncover opportunities, negotiate strategically, and advocate tirelessly for your interests.
Whether you're buying your first home, upgrading, downsizing, or navigating a major life transition, I bring that same investigative energy to your real estate journey. I'm backed by Keller Williams, the #1 brokerage in the area, which means you get personalized service with the power of top training, expert resources, and cutting-edge market data behind every decision.
Why Work With Me?
Honesty First
I won't pretend to know everything, but I will find the answer. You deserve straight talk, not sales pitches.
Research-Driven & Negotiation-Focused
My documentary background means I know how to dig for information, vet properties, research neighborhoods, and uncover details other agents might miss. But research is only part of the journey, I also know how to negotiate strategically. Whether you're buying or selling, I work tirelessly to secure every advantage and every dollar on your behalf.
Backed by the Best
As part of Keller Williams, I have access to top training, market data, expert colleagues, and cutting-edge tools. You get a dedicated agent with the resources of the #1 brokerage behind me.
All Clients Welcome
First-time homebuyers, move-up buyers, downsizers, investors, I work with everyone. I also have specialized experience helping clients through complex situations like divorce, estate sales, and relocation when extra sensitivity is needed.
Responsive & Real
I answer my phone, return texts quickly, and communicate in plain English (no jargon). You'll always know what's happening with your transaction.
Inclusive & Welcoming
As a queer woman of color, I'm committed to serving all clients with respect and understanding. I believe everyone deserves excellent representation, and I'm especially passionate about helping LGBTQ+ clients, BIPOC families, and anyone who values working with an agent who celebrates diversity and brings a fresh perspective.
My Approach
Real estate should be exciting, not stressful. I'm not here to pressure you or rush you into a decision. I'm here to listen to your goals, do the research, ask the tough questions, and guide you to the right choice for YOUR life - whether that's buying, selling, or waiting.
I meet you where you are and work tirelessly to get you where you want to be.
