About us


I’m Gary Nelson, a Branson, MO real estate agent brokered by eXp Realty and an eXp Realty ICON Agent, helping buyers, sellers, and investors make confident moves in the Ozarks.

My wife, Stephanie, and I both grew up in West Plains, Missouri, and we’ve been married since 2009. Today, we call Branson home along with our daughter and our golden retriever, Daisy.

Before real estate, I spent years chasing another passion: golf. I worked my way through the golf industry, eventually managing several facilities and some of the busiest golf courses in the Midwest. That experience taught me a lot about discipline, service, communication, and how to stay steady under pressure, all things that carry directly into the way I serve my real estate clients today.

In 2017, Stephanie and I moved to Branson to focus more intentionally on our own real estate investments. As we learned about the local market, we quickly developed a passion for helping other people do the same, whether they were buying a home, selling a property, searching for a cabin or condo, or evaluating a short-term rental or investment opportunity.

My approach is simple: put my clients’ best interests first, give clear guidance, and make sure they understand their options every step of the way. Branson real estate is unique, especially when you factor in vacation rentals, lake properties, condos, commercial opportunities, and out-of-area buyers. My goal is to help you make a smart decision that you feel good about.

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or investing in Branson, MO real estate, I’d be happy to help you take the next step.
Call or text me at 417-464-6915.

Gary was incredible to work with! He’s friendly, patient, and truly cares about his clients. He explained everything clearly, stayed on top of the details, and made the whole process stress-free. I’d absolutely recommend Gary to anyone looking for a Realtor who genuinely goes above and beyond.

Gary and the team are the best! Contacted him looking for information, he spent a ton of time guiding us and helping us make the right decision. This was probably over the course of a year... he always would answer questions, take calls, etc. no pressure just good honest info. He made being out of state very easy and super accommodating. Look forward to working with him again and his team. If you want someone who understands the area, investing, and knowledge call him!

When my mom had to sell her husband’s house in Missouri (she lives in California) which her stepson was living in, it became a complicated situation. After my sister found Gary, he guided us through every step of the sale. Our listing was generating a lot of interest, but when my mom decided to sell to her stepson at a below-market price at his request, Gary helped us understand the numbers and helped us ensure that my stepdad’s wishes were honored in the sale. Family challenges made the process longer and stressful, but Gary supported us the entire way. He educated us with his extensive market knowledge, and assisted us with estate issues and communication on all sides. Gary helped my mom’s step son with his loan approval and closing process, spoke with several of his neighbors to finalize a well agreement, and helped us get to a sale price that would reimburse my mom her estate costs, and ensure a fair inheritance to her other stepson. He helped our family through an emotional and taxing process, and we could not be more grateful for his support in our lives this year. He is an exceptional professional, he helped my mom and her stepson reach their respective goals, and showed incredible patience no matter how complicated the sale became. I recommend Gary to anyone who needs a realtor in their corner, someone who genuinely cares about his clients and about doing the right thing.

Gary has been such a blessing to me and my family. After my husband passed, I needed to sell his house in Missouri while living in California, which felt overwhelming. But Gary guided me through the process with such patience and professionalism. He went above and beyond, not only helping me with the real estate process, but with complicated family issues. Gary helped me honor my husband’s wishes and I could not be more grateful. Even after the sale, Gary has continued to check in and offer support. He is a very honest man who cares about doing the right thing by everyone involved. I’m deeply grateful for everything he’s done and recommend him very highly to anyone needing a real estate agent they can trust and depend on.

Gary Nelson exceeded every expectation as both a realtor and a person. After my mom’s husband passed, she needed to sell his Missouri home while living in California, and Gary guided us through every step of honoring her late husband’s wishes with patience, compassion, and professionalism. He helped us navigate complex family and estate issues and supported everyone involved through a long, emotional process. Even after everything he went through for us; a two-month loan approval, a two-month closing, and challenging family dynamics, he has continued to offer his support. Gary is honest, kind, and deeply dedicated to his clients, with market knowledge and real estate expertise that are truly impressive. We’re so grateful for him and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a realtor of integrity who genuinely cares.

Working with Gary was the best decision we could have made. He negotiated our condo well under appraisal, handled every snag with ease, and even went out of his way personally to help us. We had a difficult situation come up with the property we chose and Gary went to great lengths to make our sale happen. We are first time owners of rental property in Branson and he made sure we were educated in the whole process. His short term rental knowledge and local expertise gave us confidence we bought in the right spot for strong returns. Gary is a top notch professional yet very comfortable to work with. He truly goes above and beyond and we can’t recommend him enough!

Working with Gary and Stephanie was truly a 5-star experience from start to finish. This was a remote purchase, and from day one, I felt completely at ease placing my trust in Gary as my on-site partner. His professionalism, warmth, and deep knowledge of the market made the process seamless — but what really stood out was the care and dedication he and his team showed. They truly made me feel like family, going above and beyond in every way to support the purchase, offer local insight, and ensure every detail was covered. When we hit an unexpected snag just days before closing, Gary worked absolute magic to ensure everything came together smoothly. I’m so grateful for their support and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a real estate team that’s not only skilled, but genuinely cares. Would recommend him to anyone and he will for sure be my go to for any purchases within his market. Thank you so much Gary!
