our clientReviews
A referral from a past client in the highest compliment one can receive in our business. Here are a few that we have received from past satisfied clients.
“Never have we experienced the level of service and professional knowledge we enjoyed with Debbie and Jim.”
“Jim Nelson from the Nelson Riddle Team did an excellent job helping us find a condo for investment purposes in downtown San Diego this summer. Jim was and is very knowledgeable about the market and available choices, besides being friendly and personable, e.g. picking us up from the airport since we are not local to San Diego. In the span of two days, he efficiently showed us a good spectrum, enabling us to find a condo we really liked. When a counter offer came in response to our initial offer, Jim talked to the seller’s agent to find out the kind of terms which would make our offer stand out, and this enabled us to counter and finally secure the purchase. During the entire process, Jim was not overly pushy but stayed persistent and responsive to our questions and handling the paperwork expertly. I recommend Jim highly as a realtor who can help you find your condo/house like he helped us.”
“We had a great experience selling our home with Kilee. She was available to us to answer all our questions and concerns throughout the entire process. The team was professional and effective at selling our home. We highly recommend the Nelson Riddle Team!”
“Jim Nelson and Kilee Waller from the Nelson riddle team did an excellent job in executing the sale of my Condo. Word of mouth recommendations are the strength of a real estate team and that is how I came to know this team. I was kept informed during the whole process and all of my request were responded to immediately. The transactions were smooth and processed as committed. I would recommend the Nelson Riddle Team to anyone for your real estate needs. Thanks for the successful sale during an unsettling time.”
“I’ve worked with Jim Nelson for over five years to find the right replacement residence. We had many hits and misses and after five years of trying we finally found the right one. He never gave up on me. ! His expertise on pricing and negotiations in Coronado were so helpful. I’d recommend him and the Nelson Riddle team to anyone.”

“Throughout the process the Nelson Riddle team most certainly proved their worth.”
“We were very lucky to have Jim and Debbie representing us in our home purchase. We met Jim through a referral and from the day of our first meeting to our date of closing was only 53 days. We had a very specific set of needs and Jim knew immediately which house on the market would work for us. Once our offer was accepted, our transaction encountered a number of challenging circumstances along the way, on both the buyer and seller side, and Jim was able to keep the process moving and on course. At every step of the way it was clear that Jim’s focus was working toward our best interest. I was very impressed with his knowledge and work ethic and would definitely recommend the Nelson Riddle team to anyone in need of Real Estate expertise.”
“They are excellent realtors and, perhaps more importantly, great people.”
“Jim Nelson helped me find my townhouse condo. He showed me A LOT of properties while I was staying in Coronado in early spring of 2020 but then the pandemic struck and I returned home to the east coast putting my Coronado dream on hold. A couple months later, a “Goldilocks perfect-for-me” property came on the market that he thought I’d be interested in. Jim contacted me and quickly arranged to see it the next day. He FaceTime’d the tour for me, we made an offer amidst other competing offers, and then he successfully navigated the Seller’s counter-offer. Jim provided calm, sound advice, and was available and helpful throughout for all questions and issues. He also referred a home inspector and an escrow agency, both were excellent. He even arranged to get a quote from a plumber for a suggested repair and negotiated a purchase price reduction to cover it. Jim effectively facilitated the whole transaction so that even though I was 3000 miles away and never saw the property in person, the entire process was smooth and easy. Need I say anything more? I highly recommend Jim Nelson.”
“Highly recommend this team, especially to first-time buyers who need an expert they can trust!”
“When shopping for a home in Coronado/San Diego I highly suggest working with the Nelson Riddle team. I worked Jim Nelson for over 6 years looking for the perfect place that would accommodate my budget and check all the boxes. I really can’t believe he actually kept taking my calls? He never pressured me, and it never seemed like he was getting aggravated with my almost buys. After the sale he has become a great resource for any questions and all in all just a great guy. When looking start with Jim, then make your decision.”
“70+ years of family history in Coronado. The realtors in town are well known. When my family has real estate needs we have many great choices. But Jim Nelson is the one we choose, every time. He is supersmart, easy to work with, and extremely experienced in the Coronado market. He delivers the best possible results every time.”
