Ann Smith delivers trusted results. Witnessing Ann and her team transform the neighbor’s house, all the neighbors were astonished by what was accomplished. The homeowners selling their home raved about Ann Smith and highly recommended that I contact her to list my aunt’s home. Ann’s tenacity and support paid off by way of an offer on the first scheduled showing of that neighbor’s home and that’s as good as it gets when anyone is selling a home. A unique obstacle: My Aunt’s home had a reverse mortgage and only enough equity to pay the balance and cover the closing costs. Shortly after my aunt's passing, long estranged family showed up claiming the house was theirs and a battle began that involved a lawsuit, attorney's fees and a house sitting empty during the hottest sellers’ market of 2022. With phenomenal legal advice, I found a way forward. However, by that time, the market had cooled, and the interest rates were about to take the biggest spike in 40 years. Knowing her work firsthand, I reached back out to Ann. I shared the details of the battle and painted the picture once again of there being no money in this house, no money in it for me, and some volatile heirs she would have to deal with. Knowing what I knew, I was more or less trying to talk Ann out of it, all while knowing I needed what I knew she had: Trusted compassion! Ann told me once again, "Oh I am good at working through conflict, and would love to help you." Over the next several months, Ann did what most Realtors do when a home is vacant and, on the market: House checks, handling maintenance issues and more. I lived out of state and Ann gave me peace of mind that my aunt’s home was being cared for by a team that cared. But beyond that, this is where the real value in Ann continued to amaze me. With each and every decision Ann navigated through conflict and built trust where there had not been any between these estranged family members. She maintained confidentiality with each party, solicited input, gained alignment and secured signatures, over and over and over again. Ann Smith made the impossible, possible and remained optimistic. She kept pushing through with resolve to serve all without bias. From the original listing agreement to 67 showings and multiple offers, when we ratified, Ann displayed endurance tactics like I have never seen. Although Ann’s compassion, tenacity and an incredible attention to detail are the skills of her expertise, the core of her value is that she truly cares about the people she’s supporting. Yes, Ann was the bridge that build trust where only raging waters existed… Without Ann, this estranged family would have never come together for the sale of our historic family home. What started with dreams of newlyweds, this home, designed by family, built with wood from family land and now sold to a new family, with the help of someone who understands family, Ann Smith. Should you need more than an expert, look no further than Ann.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Ann since 2015, and was confident in her ability to help find me the perfect first home in 2021. Ann's approach to home buying is unique in the sense where she combines her professional expertise acquired from decades of a successful corporate career with her passions of helping people and making dreams and potential possibilities a reality. Ann worked with me to understand my short-term and long-term strategies for buying my first home. She even determined with me what my must-have requirements were for my home. Ann further helped find the ideal location for the occasional work commute, easy access to the airport, and of course the gorgeous outdoors of Northern Virginia. Each step of the way, Ann was right there to ensure the process was smooth. Together we developed a strategy, nailed down a timeline, communicated, and executed our overall plan - flawlessly. While this included driving countless miles looking for the perfect house, once we found "the one" I was under contract within a matter of hours and experienced the smoothest closing. Ann's expertise helped me find the perfect first home and made home ownership a reality.
