Nelson's real estate journey began in 1977 when he co-founded John Nelson Realty, which specialized in new construction properties, located in Framingham, Massachusetts.

During this period, the company operated two offices and boasted a team of 55 agents. Nelson held pivotal roles as the owner, manager, and the leading agent in both volume and units.
In 1998, Nelson joined forces with Bruce Taylor, the owner of the second-ranked ERA company in Massachusetts, to establish ERA Key Realty Services. Over the next two decades, the company experienced substantial growth through mergers, acquisitions, recruiting efforts, and strategic partnerships. It ultimately achieved the sixth-ranking position among ERA companies in terms of volume, ranked eleventh in units closed, and was fifth in Massachusetts. In 2018, the firm merged with the top-ranked HUNT Real Estate ERA.
