Annie Bauer, REALTOR®

‘Exposure is Everything’; that is Annie’s deeply held sales philosophy, as marketing’s purpose is to deliver sales results. Annie will bring a paradigm shift in marketing to your property and position herself apart from other Realtors in Florida—think of her as your real estate ‘concierge.’ “Whether I am working with a buyer or a seller client, I expose them to the nuances of our local market. Exposure leads to knowledge and knowledge is power.” Annie has 17 years of the Sarasota lifestyle to draw from; her diligence and experience will guide you in assessing the value of your current or prospective home, which will enable negotiations from a position of power, not conjecture.

Annie holds real estate licenses in Florida, Illinois and Ontario, Canada. She started her career in commercial leasing, sales and management with CB Richard Ellis in 2002. When she decided to make the leap to residential sales in 2005, she hit the ground running. Annie has been honored for her success by the Chicago Association of Realtors by winning consecutive awards for ‘Outstanding Sales Achievement’ in 2007, 2008 and 2009. The Chicago Tribune also recognized her as a ‘Top Producer’ in both 2007 and 2009 despite the worst market conditions in decades. Undeterred, highly energetic and extremely motivated, she was nominated and won an additional award in 2009 from @properties for ‘Outstanding Sales Achievement—Development Division’ for her sales of new construction and conversion projects.

In her career, Annie has worked with a broad range of clients from first-time home buyers to investors, to sophisticated sellers and nationally recognized developers and asset managers. Annie enjoys the variety of her clientele. Each client is unique as each property is unique, and she adjusts to these individual needs. “I absolutely love real estate! What I bring to the table in my role as consultant is my sincere desire to educate my clients about market trends, neighborhoods and construction. An educated client is better able to make informed decisions in what can be a very emotional process. Many of my friends have become clients, and many of my clients have become friends. They know I have their best interests in mind, and they trust me.”
