    Over the years, Nancy’s sales have consistently set the bar in the area’s luxury residential real estate market. In 12 of the last 13 years, Nancy has been the number one agent in the area MLS residential sales. In 2022, she listed and sold a home for $7,170,000 and in 2024 a home for $6,200,00… historically the highest sale prices ever achieved in the Lehigh Valley MLS and surrounding areas.

    There have been only 15 homes that have sold over 3 million in the Lehigh Valley. Nancy has represented 11 of these, representing both the Buyer and the Seller in 9 of the 11. Of the top 25 most expensive homes ever sold in the Lehigh Valley, Nancy was involved in 18, representing both the Buyer and Seller in 11.

    For the fourth consecutive year, Nancy’s sales volume was a local record of $42.8 Million in 2024, with previous years of $38.8 Million in ‘23, $42.5 Million in ‘22 and over $45 Million in 2021. Of the 7,700 agents in the Greater Lehigh Valley MLS and Bucks County MLS, in a time when agents are combining their sales transactions, it is remarkable to have a sole agent continue such a presence.

    Graduating in the first class of women at Lehigh University, Nancy was in a Lehigh doctorate program when she joined the Dorey team. Still deciding what career choice would come next, she realized that real estate was a people profession and was a perfect match … a match that used her counseling, education and research skills, captured her heart and challenged her professionalism.

    Although hard work, knowledge and listening skills define a portion of her success, it is the many referrals from current and past clients that are testimony to her personality, skills and thoughtfulness. With over 40 years of experience and a reputation for discretion, Nancy has represented many of the Lehigh Valley’s top executives and VIP relocations. As an advocate for the arts and land preservation, she was involved with Saucon Valley Fine Arts, the Art of Preservation in Bucks County and is on the Board of Trustees for Historic Bethlehem Museum and Sites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. She was profiled in Kate White’s (former editor of Cosmopolitan Magazine) book, The Gutsy Girl, under the heading “How To Create A Big Idea Out Of Thin Air”. She was awarded the 2024, 2023 & 2022 Philadelphia Magazine Top Producer Award, 2023 Lehigh Valley Business Leader in Residential Real Estate Award and is 1 of 9 Nominees, nationwide, for the 2023 Who’s Who in Luxury Real Estate Billionaire Club Award. Luxury Real Estate also included Nancy in their “Selection of 2024 Significant Sales from LRE®”

    We had a fantastic experience with Carol Dorey’s team as both buyers and sellers. Our agent, Nancy Ahlum, made a positive impression on us when she sold us our home 14 years ago so we immediately reached out to her when we were ready to sell. From day 1, we had excellent communication and Nancy was clearly committed to getting us top dollar. The marketing team created beautiful materials, including a gorgeous 3D tour. Due to our agent’s good judgement, understanding of the local market, and attention to the many details involved in real estate transactions, our house sold fast and high--without a glitch. We cannot thank the Carol Dorey team enough for helping us successfully navigate this stressful transition!

    Nancy and her team were excellent shepherds through our 2023 local move. Nancy used her excellent knowledge of the local real estate market, well-developed network of providers and keen organizational skills to go ahead of us in every step of the process. She found a wonderful new home for us and sold our old home for above asking price in under 2 days. She provided truly professional service, with a big dose of personal care. Highly recommend the team at Carol Dorey!
