About Anna Rhodes

I have always had an interest in real estate ventures. I started as a real estate investor and later migrated to become a real estate agent. Now I welcome the opportunity to be your Realtor. With over 20 years in the customer service arena, my experience addressing individual needs truly benefits my clients. Having the heart of a teacher, my first time home buyer clients always learn something new along their path towards home ownership. Even those selling their homes often pick up knowledge they were previously unaware of in the sale of their home. Although real estate has a basic structure, each deal is unique and I work with each and every client as a unique member of the team before, during, and after their deal closes. I look forward to being YOUR real estate agent! Give me a call today.
