Jay & Ashley Nelson, "Results are a compound effect of great action", Real Estate Advisors & Team Leaders at eXp Realty, shares their story on Global Luxury Real Estate Mastermind with Michael Valdes Podcast #220
Jay & Ashley Nelson have decades of real estate experience between them. The Nelsons were ReMax owners, and Ashley's family owned a Century 21 franchise when she was growing up. The passion and deviation they feel for the agents in their organization are heartfelt. They genuinely want their success before everything else, and it shows. The lessons they learned throughout their career are powerful, and they candidly share their story in this interview.
More About Jay & Ashley Nelson:
“We paused the video halfway through and said to each other, ‘We are leaving RE/MAX and doing this!’ We filled the application out that very night,” said Ashley. “We were able to come to such a quick decision because eXp Realty solved the challenges of owning our own brokerage and allowed us to do all of the things we love about owning our own brokerage and be able to do it on a global scale!”
The couple joined eXp in May 2017.
Jay and Ashley reconnected as adults in Nashville where Jay was an aspiring country singer and Ashley a business director with the Paul Mitchell Schools brand. They got into real estate in 1999 with a small mom-and-pop agency, learning the ropes. And still, to this day, are actively selling real estate.
“We just love it,” said Jay. “People get sick of it because they don’t make it part of who they are. If you care about the process and the people, it’s very inspiring. It’s a big deal for people to buy a house. Everyone is different, but it is rewarding when you come across someone who is appreciative. When we are selling houses, the client is our friend and stays our friend.”
Like many real estate professionals, the 2008 housing crash hurt them badly. “I had 122 townhomes in default. I went down pretty hard,” said Jay. “I learned a lot. I learned what I won’t do again. But I believe you’re never failing, you’re just learning.” Ashley agreed. “You define yourself when you’re on the bottom and on the top. How are you going to behave in both situations?”
The two weathered the storm and have reached a comfortable lifestyle, selling real estate, coaching agents, and enjoying their five adult children and first grandchild.
