Sarah Long

Adventure Awaits in the 828

What do Clients Say?

My husband and I were referred to Sarah to assist us in finding an investment property in the mountains as part of a real estate exchange that was time sensitive. Her expertise of the market was invaluable and she was extremely responsive and helpful and stayed on top of many moving parts to ensure a timely closing. We absolutely recommend Sarah and 828 Real Estate!

Sarah was an indispensable resource in our search for a mountain property! She invested countless time and effort with us up front to understand our specific needs. She was very patient and truly listened to what was best for our family, finances, and negotiation preferences. Sarah was exactly what we needed since we were out of town buyers - super responsive, attentive to EVERY detail, available, flexible, a bevy of knowledge, and very connected throughout the high country. She is a one-stop shop real estate powerhouse. Her extended team also was very helpful showing us homes on our crazy schedule when Sarah could not. I would 1,000% work with Sarah again, and recommend her to anyone who needs a consummate real estate professional who knows how to get results. Thank you Sarah and 828 Real Estate!

***The only review you'll need to read, you've found the company you're looking for and Sarah Long is the realtor you NEED. ***Sarah was exceptional in our home search, she was lightening fast in responding to us, always had the inside track on properties and was willing to go the extra mile, literally on every mile. It's a crazy market we're in and she went above and beyond in making it happen for us. Apparently, she knows everyone in Boone and can help you with anything you need, any questions you have or places you're curious about. She was willing to crawl in crawl spaces, attics and in muddy banks and steep slopes.Every person she recommended to us was stellar, from inspector to attorney to contractors. I cannot express how much we enjoyed our experience with Sarah and 828 Real Estate. My partner and I both work in the real estate industry and were blown away by her service and professionalism.Really, you should stop looking, she's your person. You're going to love working with her.

Sarah Long did an amazing job as our listing agent. She was fast to respond to questions and concerns. Her marketing of our property was excellent. She did a great job negotiating with the buyers’ agent. We felt well represented. We have recommended her to friends and would absolutely use her again.

We have never had such a positive experience working with an agent. Sarah came to our first meeting having researched the details of our property and the neighborhood. We followed her suggestion on a listing price and found that it was a good estimate. Sarah kept us informed about showings through texts and emails and just made the process easy overall with prompt responses to our questions and concerns. We highly recommend her services

About Sarah

I am a native of Knoxville, Tennessee, but I have been in North Carolina since 1997 when I moved to Boone to attend Appalachian State University.  I earned my degree in Theatre Education and Communications and  met my husband, Matt Long, a Boone native and general contractor at ASU.  After graduation I spent 5 years teaching in Charlotte before being given the opportunity to move back to the High Country.  In 2007 I earned my NC Real Estate License and began in full time brokerage.  In 2010 I helped to open a franchise brokerage in Boone.  I gained impactful knowledge and built important relationships during 8 years at the larger firm before deciding in 2018 it was time to make a shift.  In June of 2018 I opened 828 Real Estate.  We are a boutique brokerage that is locally focused, community minded and client driven. I feel so fortunate to be in a career that I love, have clients who trust my guidance and work with a team of wonderful agents and staff at 828 Real Estate.

I am a member of The High Country Association of Realtors, the North Carolina Association of Realtors, the National Association of Realtors and the Boone Chamber of Commerce.  on the board for Downtown Boone Development Association, I have also completed the Realtor e-Pro certification that specifically focuses on the technology tools needed in the purchase or sale of a property.  I have also earned my CLHMS Designation. (Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist) I have been awarded Top Producer Awards and Top 50 Brokers in the High Country consistently over the years.

My husband and I reside in downtown Boone and have 2 beautiful children, Sadie Rose and Levi.  We attend Alliance Bible Fellowship and stay connected by serving the community and supporting local non-profits like Western Youth Network, The Appalachian Theatre and Valle Crucis Community Park.  We love to spend time outside hiking, playing on the river, running with their dog, Emmie Lou, hitting the slopes and making the most of their time in this amazing place they get to call home!
