Debbie Nelson

Broker / Owner

Debbie Nelson, a seasoned expert in Summit County real estate, has built a remarkable career defined by her extensive knowledge, innovative approach, and unwavering commitment to client satisfaction. After a decade-long tenure in the insurance industry, Debbie and her family relocated from Des Moines, IA to the picturesque Summit County in 1999. Her journey in real estate was preceded by a five-year leadership role as the Executive Director of the Summit County Builders Association, where she honed her skills in community building and leadership.

Today, Debbie is celebrated as a matchmaker with a unique talent for helping clients discover their perfect mountain homes in the highly sought-after Summit County. Her dedication to keeping her clients’ best interests at the forefront has earned her a stellar reputation for fostering lasting client relationships, which are the cornerstone of her business.

Growing up in rural Nebraska, Debbie learned the values of integrity, character, and respect, traits that distinctly set her apart in the competitive resort market. With over 20 years of expertise and an unrivaled commitment to her clients, Debbie excels in helping people not only purchase their dream Colorado mountain lifestyle but truly live it. Her innovative mindset drives her to continually seek new ways to enhance her business and deliver exceptional service.

When not working, Debbie enjoys hiking, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), biking, reading, playing the piano, and volunteering in the community. Her passion for the outdoors and community involvement further enriches her connection to Summit County and its residents.

  • What Debbie's Clients Say

    Our recent interactions with her regarding the sale and purchase of residences in Silverthorne exceeded our expectations. We feel Debbie went beyond what was expected in paying attention to our situation outside of what we would have considered normal working hours. She consistently devoted attention to our dealings during her personal time. As a matter of fact, we got to the point of suggesting Debbie go out of town on vacation since those ac...

  • What Debbie's Clients Say

    So impressed on every level. I’ve been involved in over a dozen realty transactions in my life, and my experience with Debbie tops them all. She is thorough, thoughtful, and does plenty of extra (unnecessary but appreciated) homework on behalf of buyers. Although she didn’t need to, nor was there any expectation, she dug into “what could go wrong” to uncover potential problems with the sale with the spirit of protecting me as a buyer. She als...

  • What Debbie's Clients Say

    When we met Realtor, Debbie Nelson up here in summit county we were at an all time low with our Milwaukee property. On our third realtor there, I announced that I hated all realtors when we met. But Debbie, full of love and faith, confidently told us that when the time was right our house would sell and the one we were meant to buy would appear. She was right. Months and months later, with the house on Green Tree just under contract (with our ...

  • What Debbie's Clients Say

    Debbie, we could not have been happier with you or your professionalism in helping us explore potential Colorado properties. We both really like you! and are very impressed with how hard you worked for us, how savvy you are, responsive, and the professional way you communicated, listened to our requests, and cherry-picked properties to view.

  • What Debbie's Clients Say

    Ned and his business partner Debbie came highly recommended, and after our experience we can affirm. They are prompt, knowledgeable and efficient. One of our best experiences yet. No hiccups with paperwork. Not pushy. Gave us a couple tips that saved us money on the life of our loan. Actually reviewed the inspection results with us. Our experience with Ned and Debbie was not just about the sale. Thanks! We appreciate your diligence.

  • What Debbie's Clients Say

    Ned Walley and Debbie Nelson helped me sell my condo in the middle of a global pandemic and recession! Through the whole process they were knowledgeable and helpful while not making me feel pressured. Their guidance definitely made this sale go through and I am confident that I was better off with them than using other agents or listing services.
