Annie Earls
Agent

Annie’s Real Estate credentials found a solid foundation in her degrees in Communications Advertising & Public Relationship, and a Masters in Education. As an agent, her goal is to make the buying and selling processes as easy as possible. She is a “walking checklist” making sure each box in the closing process is checked on behalf of her clients.

Annie is a mother of two beautiful girls, Bella & Addie, and a military wife. As such, she has moved multiple times (and always when her husband was deployed), equipping her to learn the ins and outs of real estate, how to present competitive offers in fast markets, and how to prepare homes to sell for top dollar. With her background in customer service and sales, and the need for a flexible schedule as a military wife and mom, Annie finds her passions combined and is always ready to go the extra mile.
