Who We Are

A Little About

Welcome to Nelson Group Real Estate

Founded in 1998, Nelson Group is a leader in real estate development in Massachusetts. We specialize in creating beautiful, high-quality homes designed with families in mind. Our commitment to excellence is evident in every project we undertake.

From General Contracting to Real Estate Development

For the first 12 years, Nelson Group focused on general contracting services. We helped families build their dream homes by simplifying construction processes and delivering exceptional customer service. This period allowed us to establish strong relationships with the Boston community and gain a reputation for reliability.

Our Differentiators

Building Your Dream Home

Whether you are looking for a new home or interested in developing a property, Nelson Group offers unmatched expertise and dedication. Trust us to bring your vision to life with a Nelson Group home.

Quality Homes, Quality Service

At Nelson Group, we believe in building more than just homes; we build communities. Our team of experienced professionals is involved in every step of the design and construction process, ensuring each home meets our high standards of quality.

Focused on Real Estate Development

In 2010, we transitioned exclusively to real estate development. This shift allowed us to leverage our industry experience and network of trusted subcontractors. Today, Nelson Group stands out for our commitment to quality, community, and customer satisfaction.

Nelson Pedro DeOliveira

Nelson DeOliveira is a living example of the American Dream, built not on luck, but on grit, faith, and an unshakeable will to succeed.

He arrived in the United States from a cattle farm in Brazil with just $50 in his pocket. He took every job he could find, learned the country from the ground up, and in 1998 founded the Nelson Group. What started as one venture grew into a family of thriving businesses across construction, real estate, investment, hospitality, and finance. Including Alma Gaúcha Brazilian Prime Steakhouse, now open in both Boston and Worcester, bringing the flavors and soul of his homeland to New England.

But what drives Nelson has never really been business. It’s people. Through The Nelson Foundation in Malawi, Africa, he works to give children access to education, food, and clothing, because he knows firsthand what it means to start with very little.

Between leading his companies, supporting his foundation, flying as a licensed pilot, and traveling the world with his family, Nelson lives by the same principle he always has: that how you treat people matters more than anything you could ever build.

Your Path to Property Success

In addition to purchasing properties we also sell homes which often undergo complete renovation and are ready to move-in. If you are looking to buy your first home, upgrade your current one or looking for investment options, we are committed to help you with solutions customized to your needs.
