Meet the Don Nelson Team!
Leslie has been involved in some aspect of real estate for many years. Her father was a long time Ventura Realtor, and she’s carried on the good family name by getting her Broker’s license too! She enjoys the dynamic aspects of real estate – understanding the changes and nuances of the real estate market and the economy.
Leslie enjoys meeting with clients and listening to the heart beat of their wants and needs. Her clients love how she stays in close communication and makes the transaction smooth and less stressful from beginning to completion.
On a personal note, Leslie grew up in a military home and feels fortunate for the travels and different experiences military life brought. An interesting note – Leslie was a Nelson before she married Don Nelson. Also, Don’s mother married a Nelson!
Away from work, Leslie loves to travel and enjoys her hand at decorating her home, walks along Surfer’s Point at the beach, reading and spending time with friends. She also leads a women’s group at church.
Don’s been a full time Realtor in Ventura for over 25 years. In 2006 Don became active in helping owners of commercial properties who wanted to get out of the “Terrible T’s” (Tenants, Trash and Toilets!) do IRS 1031 tax deferred exchanges into Tenants-in-Common (TIC) transactions. Because these are securities based transactions, Don was required to become a securities licensed Registered Representative.
With increasing turmoil in the commercial marketplace because of the financial crisis, Don is working with investors and owner/users to track and acquire bank owned (REO) commercial properties. For owners looking to acquire commercial property for their company, the SBA (Small Business Administration) has excellent financing options available, spurred in part by the current Administration’s push to stimulate the economy.
As an avocation, Don has always enjoyed aviation and for the past few years has been building an airplane patterned after a 1930’s era Tiger Moth biplane at Camarillo airport. You can follow his progress here. He also enjoys playing league racquetball at a local gym on Wednesday nights (and over the lunch hour when he can!).
