Annie loves to learn and enjoys the variety of her clientele. She believes that each client is unique-- as each property is unique. "I adjust & even anticipate my client's needs. I'm direct & unafraid to have candid conversations that are paramount to their success in the sale & purchase of their homes and/or investments. Markets fluctuate & there are multiple variables that I address upfront to ensure my clients are 'in the know' making their transition as seamless as possible". Annie is a seasoned professional & she'll guide you in assessing the value of your current or perspective home which will enable negotiations from facts--not conjecture.
"I absolutely love real estate & the process involved in putting a deal together. In my role as a consultant-- my clients feel the energy & passion I evoke as I speak about market trends, neighborhoods & the peripherals of staging, photography & design! I leverage cultivated relationships in the brokerage community to get my clients in to see homes not yet listed to the public. I have a staunch sense of loyalty & urgency that generates results. My clients come first, always."
Annie has lived in almost every neighborhood in the city. She currently resides in the Fulton Market River District. She enjoys exploring new restaurants, staging & interior design. Annie is an animal advocate, loves yoga & running along the river walk. Many of her past clients become dear friends that make up what she refers to as her urban family.
