A native of Charlotte, NC, Allan earned his BS in Business Administration at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. In June of 2009, he had the opportunity to move to the Sandhills area of North Carolina and now enjoys calling Southern Pines home.
Many successful Realtors had another career before entering real estate. Allan's "other" career was 15 years as a senior-level financial executive in various industries. That background in financial management, planning, and consulting has given Allan a unique experience and perspective that helped to define him as "the business professional for real estate" for his buyer and seller clients and has made him a top-producing agent during his sales career. Years of experience as a "consumer" of commercial real estate services have positioned him to be a valuable resource for his commercial clients.
Now, Allan applies the experience and training gained from more than 30 years in the real estate profession to help his buyers, sellers, and investors achieve their personal real estate goals and objectives. He believes professional excellence starts with a learning-based mindset, as evidenced by his GRI, CSP, SFR, and CDPE designations. He devotes much of his time to teaching agents at all experience and/or achievement levels. It's now his passion to share the eXp model with REALTORS who want to become the best version of themselves, own their business instead of renting it, and earn more while working less.
Allan also believes in giving back to the profession and to the community, having served as President of the Charlotte Regional REALTORS® Association, an officer and director of the Greater Chapel Hill Association of REALTORS®, and a director of the NC Association of REALTORS®. In 2021, he served as the President of the Mid Carolina Regional Association of REALTORS Multiple Listing Service, helping to guide the transition to membership in the North Carolina Regional MLS, where he served as a member for the managing BOD for 2021 and 2022. Outside of real estate, Allan has been involved with Communities in Schools, which mentors at-risk students, and Cell Phones for Soldiers, a national program to support military personnel and their families.
Allan is the proud father of Dr. Tripp Nanney of Florence, SC, and Hillary Nanney Caldwell (Bob Fordi) of New York, NY. His adult children have blessed him with three incredible grandchildren: Violet Ryan Nanney, Logan Ezra Nanney, and Adeline Elizabeth (Ada) Fordi. Allan has been married to Terry Wubboldt Nanney, his business partner, since 2016.
