Get to Know Thomas J. Nelson, REALTOR ® e-Pro CRS RCS-D Vets

I'm a husband & father and eternal student of life first. Member of Active Rain since 08/04/2008. Brokered by Big Block Realty and owner of Vision Drive Realty in San Diego, CA. I've been business-coached by Buffini & Company since 1999 in order to maintain standards and grow annually as a REALTOR® and entrepreneur.

Do You Know The Market Says Your Home is Worth?

 Between late 2006 and early 2012 over 8 million Americans lost their jobs and over 411,000 Realtors quit Real Estate. I went to work every day as a Realtor; (except Sundays, those are my family recharge days). 
Between late 2006 and early 2012 over 6 million Americans lost their homes. I bought 2 homes, one to live in and one to rent to others at a fair market value and never missed a payment. I was and still am your "Winter Patriot", when most agents were behaving as "Sunshine Soldiers". You can count on me when the going gets tough, I relish the challenge!

I'm a published co-author of The Power of Mentorship For the Business Entrepreneur (co-authored with some of my heroes: Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy & Jim Rohn-to name a few, I've been published in Mobile Beat Magazine, Mission Valley News & Views and a featured guest on San Diego 6 News and KSJO FM, KSAN FM and ESPN AM Radio. I'm a networker & lead generation specialist for my Working By Referral business model.

I'm Residential Investor & Realtor, "I've been selling since 1999 and wholesaling, rehabbing, fix n flipping and buy & holding, property managing for myself & my family since 1982. I Trained with Michael Gerber's E-Myth Academy, Brian Buffini & Company / Providence Systems, Sandler Sales-San Diego, Nouveau Riche University Real Estate Investing-Glendale,AZ, James Smith Companies, The Group-Colorado, Ninja Selling, CRS,  I'm a Winforms (Zipforms) Trainer and e-Pro and I run a team of 12 associate-partners who help me cover my "out-of-areas". We cover all 4 areas of San Diego County, Orange County, Riverside and on out to Palm Desert! I also have a National Referral Directory in my Active Rain Community and Buffini & Company Realtor Network to refer you out of area agents I know personally.

I ran a master mind group at Coldwell Banker when I worked there for Buffini & Co. Peak Producer graduates. I run a biweekly meeting of 40-50 networking Veteran-entrepreneurs for the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce and I've won multiple Bronze & Sterling awards for my sales and the prestigious BBB Torch Award for Ethics as a runner up in 2023. I'm most proud of my 15 year-in-a-row 5-Star status as one of San Diego's Top 5% Realtors; as voted on by my clients for most outstanding customer service.

I enjoy travel, walking our dog on the beach, gardening, golf, history and recharging with my family. Yes, I do hang the "Sorry We're Closed" sign up every Sunday and typically after 6PM weekly! It's a good life - live it!

All other areas would most likely be referred to a local Realtor expert. I'm a founding member of the FAB 4 which is a group of cooperating Realtors that divide the San Diego and Riverside Counties into their areas of expertise and refer all other clients to each other; clients are served by area experts this way!
