About Nerem & Associates Boone

A family-owned real estate and insurance team serving neighbors since 1957

Nerem & Associates Real Estate & Insurance has been part of the Boone community for nearly seven decades, helping local families and businesses make confident decisions. We blend a hometown feel with modern tools, so you get personal guidance plus a smoother, more efficient experience.

Our story, rooted in Boone

Built on relationships, carried forward with continuity

Founded in 1957, Nerem & Associates grew alongside Boone—serving generations of buyers, sellers, and policyholders who want straightforward advice from people who know the area. As a local, family-run business, we’ve earned trust the old-fashioned way: showing up, following through, and treating clients like neighbors.


Today, we continue that legacy with a modern approach, including improved systems, digital tools, and a team structure designed to keep service responsive and organized. With a father-to-son transition underway, the values stay the same while the day-to-day experience keeps getting better for the people we serve.

With local insight and coordinated services, you can manage property decisions with fewer surprises and better continuity.

    Life changes like marriage, growing families, or retirement often come with new housing and insurance needs. We help you review coverage, adjust protection, and plan for what’s next without pressure or confusion. Our goal is to make sure your home and insurance choices still fit your life as it evolves.
