Matt Nelson
Beginnings
Matt Nelson grew up in North Richland Hills, Texas, and attended the University of Oklahoma, where he studied Elementary Education and French. His career in education took him from Oklahoma to the south of France, and eventually back to Fort Worth, the city he loves. Matt’s journey into real estate began unexpectedly after taking some classes while on a break from teaching. His father-in-law, a real estate professional, encouraged him to explore the field, and he quickly became hooked.
Work & Skills
Before becoming an agent, Matt spent ten years as a teacher, most recently as a Dual-Language Kindergarten instructor. Now an Instructional Coach at Mary Louise Phillips Elementary, Matt uses his strong communication and problem-solving skills to guide teachers and improve student achievement. These same skills help him simplify complex real estate processes, making sure his clients feel confident and informed throughout their transactions.
Priorities
Family, faith, and community are at the heart of Matt’s life. He and his wife are expecting their first child and lead a small group at the Paradox Church. Matt is also active in the Cowtown Hunting Retriever Club, where he trains his dog, Olive, and serves as Secretary. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time in his wildflower garden and playing chess. For Matt, staying connected to his loved ones and community keeps him grounded and motivated.
