DGS Founders

Donnie and Emma Lou Nowell founded DGS LLC in 1985, leveraging their strong work ethic and community's trust. Moving from South Georgia in the 1950s, they rode Atlanta's commercial real estate boom. Today, DGS remains innovative, focusing on cost-effective, eco-friendly solutions, timely client service, and a positive employee experience.

Current Partners

​Atlanta Expertise, Elevated Service

Brooke and Skip Long, Atlanta natives with a fresh strategic vision, are propelling DGS to new heights.  Their leadership is driving the company to the forefront of the commercial real estate service industry, delivering exceptional results for clients and employees alike.

Brooke Long

Meet Brooke: A Legacy of Leadership

As a third-generation owner, Brooke embodies the very essence of DGS. Her journey began in childhood, witnessing firsthand the family business blossom from its modest origins — quite literally starting with a broom and a bucket. This deep-rooted connection to the company's history fuels her passion and dedication.

Brooke's impressive professional background in both residential and commercial real estate further strengthens her leadership. Her experience as a VP and Executive Account Manager in corporate America provides a unique blend of industry insight and strategic vision.

Since taking the reins at DGS in 2010, Brooke has successfully guided the company towards continued growth and prosperity. She remains steadfast in upholding the family's unwavering commitment to quality service, while also embracing innovation and driving the company forward.
