The NAGLREP LGBT Real Estate Retreat is a refresh from a typical conference. Enjoy 3 days of networking with LGBT and allied agents from all around the country, gain insights into what your top producing peers are doing, and immerse yourself in LGBT+ culture.

We’re excited to network and learn together.

Our host hotel is the Aloft Asheville Downtown with rooms starting at $224/nt. Set in downtown Asheville, NC, in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, our host hotel is steps from a world-renowned culinary and arts scene. When you are ready to explore, the Biltmore Estate, the River Arts District are minutes away, and great hiking and walking trails just 30 minutes from downtown. Pets stay free at this pet-friendly hotel. There is no hotel group rate or special link to book. Simply reserve online by the hotel website link above. If your favorite Asheville hotel or airbnb is nearby feel welcome to stay where you prefer.
