If we could give Sandy 10 stars in each of these categories we would. We have partnered with Sandy twice now, and has been nothing but the best. She is professional, knowledgeable and a true expert in the local housing market. She goes above and beyond to ensure that we understand each step, are informed and comfortable throughout the entire process and so much more. Sandy has not only become our real estate agent and valuable local resource whom we know we can rely on at any time, but most importantly has become a friend. Very highly recommend Sandy to anyone looking to buy our sell a property, you will NOT be disappointed. |

Sandy is an exemplary broker with all the qualities you'd want as an advocate for your needs. Our family luckily found Sandy in 2010 and this is our third time working with her. Sandy's services were excellent then, and have only grown 14 yrs later. She is professional, knowledgeable, patient, kind, helpful, responsive, and transparent. Her marketing work is second to none. Sandy and her team efficiently primed our family's property, quickly resulting in multiple competing offers above our listing price. We closed in less than three weeks from the initial listing date. Thoroughly prepared us for expectations and carefully communicated every step of the way. From the services she provides, through listing, negotiations, inspection, to final closing and beyond. Can't ask for more |

I was referred to Sandy by my sister who had nothing but glowing praise for her. So I was excited to reach out for my first-time home buying experience. Sandy was a joy to work with, she really helped make the experience so easy and simple. Buying a home is never stress-free but I think Sandy made it as stress-free as one can. She walked me through everything, was always available to answer questions, has a wealth of knowledge from years of experience. She was honest with me when my expectations were unrealistic but was able to work within my limitations. When you work with Sandy you know you'll get someone honest, funny, knowledgeable, generous, and kind. She's everything I could have hoped for and more. Not only would I hire her again I would recommend her to anyone, whether a first time buyer or not. She was amazing. |

After interviewing three agents from local firms we selected Sandy Nelson for the following reasons: 1. a practical no-nonsense approach to preparing our property for sale 2. clear statements about her approach and processes 3. reasonable fees and costs 4. a sound understanding of the local market and potential buyers, including appropriate up to date analysis of comparable homes and timelines for sales 5. During the process of selling the home, she skillfully managed showings and other realtors to maximize our final accepted offer Sandy is an exemplary real estate professional. This is our fourth home sale and she exceeded our expectations in all areas. |

We have purchased several homes in the past and experienced a variety of real estate agents, ranging from the poor to the exceptional. Sandy definitely fits into the latter of these two categories. Sandy is a consummate professional - she tirelessly searched for a property for us, and didn't waste our time looking at listings she knew would not interest us. When she did find us that perfect property, she continued to work closely with us, and even attended our closing to ensure we understood the process. When we decide to sell and/or purchase a property in the future, Sandy will be the first call we make. |

I flew into town and only had a short week to look for houses. Sandy had the patience to show me pretty much ALL the houses between Dupont, Lacey and Olympia! 50 houses! Need I say more? Never grumpy, never grouchy that, even after a week, I hadn't found a house yet that I liked. On my last day I finally found a home that was suitable for our family. I signed the offer, left town and Sandy did everything else! We did not have to worry at all, and that alone took a huge load off my shoulders. I will recommend her to my friends anytime. |

Sandy was instrumental in helping us buy our home. She listened to what we wanted and as a result we were able to narrow our search significantly and find exactly what we were looking for within a week. Sandy's presence throughout the buying process was very reassuring and her advice was always genuine and spot on. We never got the impression that she was "out to sell' but more so that she was there to ensure that we made decisions that were in our best interest. Sandy made the purchase of our first home relatively effortless and quite fun. We have had no qualms in recommending her to our friends and will definitely rely on her real estate expertise in the future. |

Sandy is so pleasant to work with and has truly become a friend for life. What we love about Sandy is that she's there for you after you find your home, she doesn't just close the sale and forget all about you. She was there on moving day, providing our friends and family with food and drinks, and she's always so thoughtful. We recently celebrated our first year anniversary in our new home and there was Sandy, giving us flowers to celebrate the occasion right along with us. I strongly encourage all of my friends and co-workers to contact Sandy if they're looking for a great real estate professional they can trust. She definitely made our first home buying experience a very pleasant one. We'll always be thankful to her and consider her a friend. |
