"My Profession is Real Estate, My Priority is You"- In 20 years as a Real Estate Professional, I've found that providing the very best service is essentially putting "my clients first." This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to the clients needs. Many qualities and skills go into being an excellent Real Estate Professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work. This "client first" philosophy is my approach and requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business, in addition to, utilizing the latest technologies enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. When I started in real estate I recognized that I had a passion for helping people. I have always made the client the most important part of my business.

"Anna Marie Kozel has been working with us for 2 years through buying and selling several properties. She is very informative about the buying and selling process for all concerned. We appreciate her honesty and her respect for what we would like in a property. She would not steer us to buy what was on the market just because it is listed. She patiently waited with us for just the right property to go on the market. Every transaction we have made with her has been a wonderful experience. Anna Marie becomes a friend of yours, she doesn't just help you buy or sell and say good bye. Anna Marie was a fabulous source of local information when we relocated to Sunset Beach. She always answers the phone or gets back to you in a timely manner. We look forward to working with Anna Marie on our next transaction. We highly recommend her."
Response: "Susan and Jimmy, thank you so much for the glorious review. I would buy a house from me if I read a testimonial like that about me. You are the best friends and I will love you forever. I hope you don't mind but I added your testimonial to my website. You can go there, click on About My Team, and click on Testimonials to the right. Thanks again. Anna Marie"

"With Anna Marie's help, we both sold our condo and purchased a new..." Read More
"With Anna Marie's help, we both sold our condo and purchased a new one in a realtively short period of time. Anna Marie obviously knows the Sunset Beach market. We were only able to be at Sunset Beach for the weekends and Anna Marie made the time to show us properties available, obtained needed information and communicated both by phone and e-mail even during her own vacation time. When she was out of town she made arrangements for one of her fellow realtors, Lin Kelly to show us arround. Anna Maire made the experience most enjoyable and walked us through the selling and buying process as a professional while dealing with us as friends. If you are looking to buy or sell in the Sunset Beach area, we highly recommend Anna Marie."
Response: "Larry and Sara, thank you for the glorious testimonial. I would probably buy a house from me after reading that wonderful review. It is through clients like you that helps me to become so successful. I just heard the 2007 year end results and I am currently 15th in all of Brunswick County because of friends like you. I took the liberty to add your testimonial to my website. If you want to review it, just go to www.annamariekozel.com, click on About My Team, and click on Testimonials to the right. Thanks again.

"Anna Marie did an outstanding job helping me find a home in Sunset Beach. She's an experienced, savvy agent with an excellent understanding of the local markets. Most important, however, is that she has a trait often lacking in realtors - patience. Anna Marie appreciates what an important and personal step home buying is and she never pushes. This is a great comfort when making such a big decision. I'd gladly recommend Anna Marie to anyone buying or selling a home."

1989
How many years have you been in Real Estate?
My career in real estate includes 19
What is the average home price in your market?
400,000
Are there any new developments or trends in your area?
I sell real estate in an area where new construction is constant and will continue in that direction for many years to come.
Why do you enjoy being a real estate agent?
I enjoy the interaction with people of all walks of life and the satisfaction of helping clients buy and sell their properties.
What is the most challenging issue you face as a Real Estate Professional?
I strive everyday to work toward achieving the maximum level of professionalism and striving to raise the bar in the real estate profession.
Tell us one of your client success stories or an interesting moment in your profession.
Throughout my career, I received numerous awards and recognitions for my real estate successes. However, the one I cherish most is the Customer Service Excellence Award. This award was given to the agent in our company who reached the optimum level of customer service through letters and testimonials from satisfied clients. This was the most prestigious award, given more recognition than the top selling agent in our company.
What is your best characteristic?
I am a true people person and have the ability to create an immediate rapport and trust with the client. Many of my clients end up as very good friends after the closing transaction.
Who or what inspires you the most?

What is the best advice you ever received?
My very first Broker In Charge, who played a very important role in my success, always told me "the harder you work, the luckier you get." I always remember that when I put in those 10 or 12 hour days.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I love living right here in Sunset Beach, North Carolina. My husband calls this area "Heaven".
