Jon Nelson, Real Estate Broker, Madison WI

Jon Nelson
Broker Associate


Real Estate Agents and Brokers who want to maximize their ability to assist their clients and customers can pursue advanced study programs in specific areas of real estate practice. In order to achieve a program's designation, an agent must make a significant personal commitment of time and resources, attend classes and demonstrate, through testing, a proficiency in the area of study. That's why not every agent you come in contact with has designations. For those that do, however, you have the assurance that they have made a well-above-average commitment to provide you with the very best service possible. Below is a description of my academic and professional designations (current and pending) and how they serve to benefit you.

Jon Nelson, Broker, Member of Wisconsin Realtors Association. 
Broker		 In Real Estate, there are Brokers and Sales Agents. Brokers are licensed by the state to own and operate a real estate brokerage. A broker's license requires education and testing beyond the level required of a sales agent. All sales agents must work for a broker, and are therefore "agents" of their broker, hence the term "real estate agent."  A Broker who works for another broker as a sales agent, is called a "Broker Associate." I am a state licensed Wisconsin Real Estate Broker, and a Broker Associate at Lake & City Home Realty.

Jon Nelson, earns cutting edge MBA through University of Phoenix.
MBA

 Master of Business Administration. My advanced academic degree in marketing and sales and over 30 years of hands-on experience in every facet of marketing, advertising, sales promotion and public relations, allows me to formulate a robust, strategic business approach to your real estate transaction. This is a business where "experience" is a definite plus for clients.
