Deanna Long
Deanna was raised in the small ski community of Wrightwood California. While growing up with a love for the outdoors, she became an avid skier and eventually a ski instructor at Mountain High Ski Resort. Living in Wrightwood taught her the values of living in a small town. One day she meet a young man at her father's church that eventually became her husband, Jason. For their honeymoon they spent a week near Silverton Colorado and instantly fell in love with the wonder and beauty that is Colorado.
Jason Long
Jason was born in the small Midwest City of Granite City Illinois. As a young man he moved to Southern California with his family. Using his upbringing of family values, personal attention and hard work he started his first company at the young age of 18 and went on to become a successful business owner. He met and married his lovely wife Deanna at her father's church and discovered his love for helping people with their dreams.
Soon after being married in 1993 Jason and Deanna moved down the mountain to the hustle and bustle of Southern California life. They now have 5 beautiful children Cortney, Joshua, Justin, Samuel, and Nathanael.
Jason and Deanna operated a successful contracting company with a focus on energy efficient and smart homes in Southern California for more than 10 years. During this time they became active in developing and investing in the local real estate market and found their true passion is in helping people find the home and property of their dreams.
One day we realized we missed the beautiful scenery and the slower pace of the mountain lifestyle. Since our honeymoon It had always been a dream of ours to live in the Colorado Rockies. 
That dream became a reality when we sold our company and moved to Colorado to focus full time on our real estate endeavors, and we have come to realize it's just better up here.

"One quality that really impressed me was that we never felt rushed to look quickly or decide quickly. I was impressed with how knowledgeable Deanna was about all things in and out of each house. I felt that She was truly trying to help us find a house that would suit our needs and bring happiness to my family. -Thomas & Becky G
We recently bought a new home through Jason and Deanna. Since we were not living in the area at the time, and were not even familiar with it, we thought that it may be a long and difficult process to find and purchase a home from long distance. But we were pleasantly surprised with the service that we received from Jason and Deanna. They helped us find a good neighborhood that suited our needs and a home that is just perfect for our family. We appreciated the quick responses we received to all of our questions. They were also very accommodating to our schedule, as we were so limited on time to come and tour homes. Without a doubt, we would use Jason again as our REALTOR®!" - Chet & Darlene R
"We couldn't have possibly had a better realtor. There is no one we will ever use again!" - Tom & Debbi P
Overall my real estate experience was effortless and timely! Deanna always put my interests first. She was very helpful in providing options on how to show my property. The best service she provided was her availability. I always had access to her. Very little demands were placed on me as a seller, it was an easy sale. I would definitely recommend friends and family to Deanna and the Long Group. - Richard D
Jason is one of the few real estate agents that I have dealt with who is truly interested in representing his clients in an honest and very competent manner. I was looking for a second home, and he spent many hours with me finding just the right home for our family. His years of experience helped me tremendously throughout the entire process. -Dave & Meg O
