Nan Shipley has been selling real estate since 2006, and established Shipley Realty after an 11 year partnership with Rand Realty. 

Whether you're a buyer or seller, you look for experience, compatibility, and dedication. A small firm means that you will get the individualized attention you deserve. There’s no corporate mandate here; only the guarantee that whatever your needs, Nan is ready to listen, navigate and negotiate. 

Nan considers herself the NYC “house whisperer”; willing to spend the time to find exactly what the buyer desires, while executing the best outcome for her sellers. She has extensive experience with townhouses, as well as co-ops and condos. She has a long list of references which she is always happy to share. 

Nan spent 20 years as an executive in the film industry. She had her own company for many of those years, optioning books, seeing theater, seeking out people with interesting life stories all in pursuit of the next great film or television idea for producers with very different tastes. It’s the same skill set for real estate: leave no stone unturned and no relationship untapped. Network and connect the right people with the right property. 

She has years of negotiating experience and enjoys the hunt as much as the completion of the deal. 

Nan is happily married to a physician, and they have three boys ranging from 22 years to 28 years old. They have raised them in Manhattan, and she has extensive knowledge of the private school sector as well as the public school realm. 

Nan and her family have 4 dogs and if you have a dog question, please ask! 

In addition to her “day job”, Nan is the co chair of the board of the not-for-profit Food Education Fund, supporting impact in the hospitality industry. Students receive a regent’s diploma as well as certifications in the culinary industry. About 80% of the students live below the poverty level and 90% of those who graduate go on to post-secondary education. If you’re interested in learning more, please visit foodeducationfund.org
