Annie's success as a real estate broker is a byproduct of her passion for two things: An abiding love of Lake life and her penchant for cultivating lifelong relationships.

“To be able to find the perfect property for my clients and knowing that they can't wait to get inside it to truly make it their home is the best part of my job,” Annie says. “When you've helped someone find the vacation home they've always dreamed of, for example, and you see that look of eager anticipation on their faces, it is tremendously gratifying.”

Growing up at the Lake not only gave Annie a love for the Lake lifestyle, it gives her unique insight into the real estate market in the area. As the daughter of a general contractor, she grew up around development and the construction industry, which fueled in her a love for both. But it took her heading away to college and moving around the country to truly appreciate the Lake of the Ozarks. Now that she's home again, Annie and her husband, who also is a native of Osage Beach, feel fortunate to be able to raise their family in this unique community.

Annie’s background in construction led her to begin building new construction homes, buying properties, rehabilitating or redesigning them, and then selling them. From being a buyer and seller herself, a career in real estate was an easy transition. But what has made her career so successful is Annie's ability to develop friendships with people from every walk of life.

“I just generally really like people, and this job gives me so many opportunities to build lasting relationships,” she says. “Growing up here, with so many fond memories, it's a big part of my heritage. I love being able to connect people to this Lake life that I get to enjoy every day. The relationships this job allows me to build really feel more like family than professional or business relationships.”

Annie was taught from a young age that honesty, integrity and hard work are the keys to any successful business. Those core values, her lake heritage, and the experience of proven results enable her to provide the very best service for each of her clients, many of whom she now calls friends.
