meet Leslie Nelson,
Twin Cities REALTOR®
Hi! I'm Leslie Nelson, your Twin Cities real estate expert. I married my college sweetheart, Nick, and we now have 2 littles- Carter and Savannah!
My real estate journey began in 2019 after my own experience selling our starter home and building our current home here in Lakeville—a process that sparked my passion for helping others discover or create spaces where their families can truly thrive. I spent 3+ years working in new construction before branching off to establish my own business.
I've had the privilege of helping over 120 families achieve their real estate goals, guiding clients through successful transactions totaling more than $50 million in sales volume. As your Twin Cities real estate advisor, I combine market expertise with firsthand experience to make your next move feel like coming home.
Kind Words
"There's a reason all of her reviews are 5 stars!" “Leslie went above and beyond in more ways than I can say. She made long drives on a tight timeline. She was insightful, asking all the right questions and noticing important caveats and nuances in the buying process. She was absolutely looking out for our best interest as we searched and entertained potential homes! She explained her thought process but gave us total autonomy. She’s also just a joy to spend time with. I could go on- I can’t recommend Leslie strongly enough!”
"I received a great offer on my property immediately" “Leslie is truly amazing! I worked with her through both the selling and buying processes and she made both of them completely smooth and stress-free. I received a GREAT offer on my property immediately after listing due to Leslie’s exceptional planning and marketing. She always goes so far above and beyond to make sure that even the smallest of details are taken care of. Her patience, diligence, and real estate wisdom definitely set her apart from other realtors. I have been so thankful to have Leslie on my side through this process.”
