Real Estate Agent Nan Long, RSPS, PSA, ABR®
About
Originally from Minnesota, Nan Long became an accomplished equestrian competing, marketing, and selling world championship quarter horses. After becoming disenchanted with the cold winters, she moved to Bonita Springs, Florida in 1996. She began work as a project coordinator and home designer with private investors building luxury homes. While living there, she was involved in all aspects of design work, working closely with clients to provide finishing details for the exteriors and interiors.
In September of 2001, Nan took a trip to visit a friend who recently moved to Brevard, North Carolina. She immediately fell in love with the area and knew this was where she wanted to live. Nan bought 10 acres and built a home. She continued building custom homes for private investors in the area until 2010. Nan created and developed a successful short-term rental business called DogWoods Retreat in 2010. After ten years, she and her husband decided to retire from the rental industry so Nan could pursue her life-long passion for real estate.
Nan brings a wide variety of experience in real estate to her clients from years of working in property development, investment properties, property management, and home and interior design. She is highly devoted to meeting her clients’ needs through market data, strong negotiation skills, and diligent communication. She has an in-depth knowledge of the area and can navigate the competitive market effectively. Nan’s approach to real estate is both practical and passionate. She deeply values her relationships with clients and fellow industry professionals.
Nan is also a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed. She has been helping the people of Transylvania County and their dogs build stronger relationships since 2002. In her free time, you will find her hiking the local forests, enjoying one of the local waterfalls, or exploring the mountains with her husband and two dogs.

"Thank you Looking Glass Realty. We had the best experience purchasing our home from one of your realtors - Nan Long. Nan was very professional and represented us as a buyer. She was always ready to answer questions and give us information. We really appreciate the top notch job that Nan did. Not only did we find a great realtor but we made a friend. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a house/property in the area."
-Becky Dobbins
"Nan Long was my realtor for the house that I’ve been in for seven months now. After selling a home in the mountains due to a divorce I was lost on where to go from there. Nan was patient and understanding with my situation. She sent me daily listings for the Transylvania/Hendersonville areas. When I saw a possibility she made herself available to show it to me. She always responded to my inquiries and never pressured me to make a decision. It took me about nine months to finally find my house. Nan gave me referrals for inspections and contacts for people she has worked with in the past for various projects.
I don’t plan on moving, but if I ever do, Nan will be my realtor."
-Max Manthey
"It was an absolute pleasure to work with Nan. She worked tirelessly to make sure we were not only fully informed and comfortable with all the twists and turns of negotiations & offers, but also all the legal requirements. She made an otherwise overwhelming undertaking quite easy & comfortable. She is an amazing asset to have on your team!
Al and Olivia Fillastre."
-Olivia De Bedout
"When we decided to sell our house we chose an agency that we had not worked with before and the agent assigned to us was next in queue so there was the element of chance and in this case luck for us. We definitely knew we did not want the two recent (5 years) agents/agency we had worked with when moving into the house we were now ready to move on from. I say luck because if we had exercised all of our best efforts at attempting to find the very best agency and agent for us we could not have been more pleased. So it really was serendipitous. If you are reading this review, consider it your good luck to have us recommend Nan Long & Looking Glass Realty with the highest regards to not only the professionalism they provide but the caring personal touch during what is typically a stressful time. She was in our home within 24 hours of our making the phone call to the agency. Nan walked and talked us through the entire process in great detail and made herself available to us no matter how many concerns or questions we had. I kept thinking that I wished I had been able to have her as our agent when we bought the house, not only as the selling agent but the buying one too! She demonstrated to us exactly how things ought to be done for the well being and utmost respect for all parties involved. Until having her at our side for this sale I had not realized how high the quality could be in the way everything was handled. I would only recommend her and her agency personally to anyone, especially my friends and family. And if ever I find myself in need of buying or selling a home she will be the one I call."
