Anna was great but most of our time was spent with her associate Jonathan Ennis. We have bought and sold many homes and our experience with this team was the best we have received

ZillowVERIFIEDJonathan to us was the perfect agent in every respect. We highly recommend him. We are Swiss citizens living in Switzerland, but we came to our second home every year, except for the pandemic years 2020/21. We owned our Sea Trail home through a Panama company which made the sale of it quite complicated. Jonathan navigated us thru all the difficulties with great know how and excellent communication as well as the necessary patience. We are very grateful to Jonathan. He did an excellent job.

ZillowVERIFIEDAnna Marie knowledge of the Sunset Beach real estate market is unparalleled. We spent the better part of a year looking for right house for us. When we found the house her expertise allowed us to close the deal efficiently and effectively.I recommend Anna Marie without reservation.

ZillowVERIFIEDAnna Marie Kozel was always professional, knowledgeable and trust worthy. We were out of town and needed a realtor that understood our needs and listened to what we were looking for in a house and community. We trusted Anna Marie so much we bought the house without even being there! She worked with us for almost a year and always gave us the attention we needed. Even after we closed we have relied on her knowledge and expertise as we are new to the area. You will not regret working with Anna Marie as your realtor.

ZillowVERIFIEDAnna Marie was amazing to work with. She is very knowledgeable about the area; a local. She offered suggestions for contractors when needed. She made our experience flawless! I my husband and I couldnt have asked for a better realtor to represent us as sellers. Highly recommend!

ZillowVERIFIEDAnna Marie was referred to us and we could not be happier with her service. She promptly listed our lot at Crow Creek, and in the same year of the listing agreement brought us an offer which we countered and the buyers accepted. We had tried listing our lot with (3) other Realtors over the last 5 years and we had absolutely zero offers.

ZillowVERIFIEDThis was a good experience. Anna Marie Kozel is a thorough professional. She took her time to guide us through the selling procedure, invited questions and resolved any issues efficiently. We would recommend her without hesitation.

ZillowVERIFIEDThe initial meetings were amiable. This realtor quickly sold our home at a good price. I am confident that we would have sold the home independently and perhaps for more money given today's market. It certainly would have been much less aggravating, confusing and stressful, (realtor induced). After the contract was signed, Anna Marie sent me several e-mails stating that the buyers were interested in purchasing some of our furniture and asked if we would be willing to exchange our BOSE system for theirs. She also asked that we patch and paint the holes left from the TV brackets and other wall hangings. We agreed to patch and paint. I responded that we would evaluate the sound system exchange. She suggested that we communicate directly with the buyers and gave us their contact.They agreed to purchase the furniture that we were willing to sell and add an agreed upon amount for our BOSE system. We did not want their system as it was an older SERIES ll ($500 new) compared to our Series lll ($1100 new). Additionally, our system was free standing on the cabinetry, (NOT RECESSED), and attached to replaceable wiring behind the cabinetry. The buyers were apparently pleased with the arrangement. The BOSE system was not listed in the "personal property" section of the contract as was the garage, refrigerator, washer, dryer, etc. I might add that the contract did, in fact, state that TV brackets, mirrors and curtain rods stay with the house. The buyers wanted the TV bracket (despite the realtors request to patch the holes left from the TV bracket) and were willing to let us take two curtain rods. I did want to take the bathroom magnifying mirror but willingly left it at the buyers request. I state these details to point out that the realtors requests via e-mails and a very uncomfortable conversation (when she called us and stated that the BOSE must stay with the house), were arbitrary and certainly not commensurate with the contract.However, despite contract language, we were able and willing to accommodate the buyers and visa versa. We were happy about that especially given that house buying and selling is very stressful and emotionally taxing. Subsequent to the buying, exchanging, and selling communications, we had little contact with Anna Marie. Unfortunately, her demeanor and tone were curt and discipline like the last two conversations we had with her. This was very disappointing.

ZillowVERIFIEDOur first two meetings were amicable. This changed dramatically after the papers were signed. This realtor sent us several e-mails; one, asking that we exchange our existing BOSE System with the buyers BOSE system. All of our BOSE components were countertop accessible; NOT RECESSED. There was no "cut out" language in the contract for this BOSE exchange. There was a line to include the garage refrigerator and appliances. We were able to come to an agreement with the buyers request to leave our Series lll System, twice the value of their Series ll replacement, for an additional $300, without an exchange or replacement. Anna Marie Kozel took it upon herself to complain about and refute the amicable arrangement we made with the buyers and insisted that the BOSE System remain with the house without compensation, (contrary to our legal consultation). The buyers purchased many other items for an agreed upon price, (none were written in the contract) as well as relinquish a curtain rod that we requested to take with us. The realtors e-mail also asked that we patch and paint holes after removing TV brackets and other wall items. This too was not written in the contract but we agreed to accommodate the request. Her meddling into buyer/seller concessions, contradictory insertions and incorrect interpretations of the contract: exchange, patch, paint, must stay... created unnecessary conflict, strain and discomfort amidst an already extremely stressful event. Annamarie's tone and attitude towards us was not friendly as before the contract was signed and unwarranted. We exceeded all areas in accommodating the buyers. We felt disciplined and disrespected, She stated, "I will be with them when they do their final walk through", as if to insinuate that we would ever consider doing anything that was questionable, dishonest or in violation of the agreements made with the buyers. We greatly regret selling with this agent.

ZillowVERIFIEDAnna went above and beyond helping us navigate our recent lot purchase. We highly recommend her. She attended a builders showing with us. She wanted to be there to assist us in asking questions that would be very relevant to us in picking our builder. We had told her that this was our first house we've ever built and we really appreciated her willingness to help in anyway she could.

ZillowVERIFIEDMy husband and I are very likely to recommend Anna Marie and her Team. The COVID-19 pandemic threw some challenges our way, as we worked to sell our existing Raleigh home and find a new coastal home in Brunswick County. Anna Marie's patience, encouragement, and generosity along the way are greatly appreciated. She gently nudged us into finding the perfect home for us and our family. We couldn't be happier!

ZillowVERIFIEDAnna Marie Kozel is the only Real Estate Professional to consider when buying or listing a home in Sunset Beach and especially in Sea Trail.We bought and sold with Anna Marie and we were very happy with both transactions.She is very personable and yet very professional in all aspects of the transactions. She is very knowledgable about the local market and knows all the people you need to work with to complete a deal, ie home inspectors and all of the venders needed to complete the home inspection list. We would use her again and strongly encourage you to talk to Anna Marie when you are either buying or selling your home.

Anna Marie Kozel and her team did a great job of listing and selling our home. Anna functioned as both listing and selling agent, and she was fair and honest in working both sides of the contract. I would strongly recommend Anna Marie to anyone looking for a skilled, professional realtor.

ZillowVERIFIEDAnna Marie Kozel was most capable in helping us sell our beach house. She was very understanding during a difficult time, yet very professional and caring. She was very prepared in her presentations but never pushy; she made a point of educating us in the whole process of home selling and patiently explained everything to us; we really appreciated her manner, her expertise and her knowledge of homes in the area and giving us her best opinions and advise; We heartily recommend her; we know we were in the best of hands with Anna Marie. In fact, the first person that saw our house bought it which was fantastic! You will not go wrong if you pick Anna Marie Kozel to sell your home, or find you a home. Her whole team is great; we had the great fortune to meet a couple of them??

ZillowVERIFIEDProfessional, friendly agent that was able to lead me through the entire process. Which was not easy... On any issue that arose he quickly handled it while keeping me fully informed. I truly felt like he kept my interest at the forefront throughout the process. If you have an agent that really treats you like friend, you are ahead in this and any game in life.

Review for Member: Anna Marie Kozel
ZillowVERIFIEDThere's a saying that, 'there's no substitute for experience' and that was never more true than what our experience with Anna Marie proved. Imagine trying to find a new home in a market where houses were going pending in a matter of hours, sometimes it seemed, even before they hit Zillow! Add to this being 600 miles away and in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic! Can it get more crazy!? Well this is where an experienced agent makes all the difference. Anna Marie stepped up and took everything in stride, including the extent of emotions from exhilaration to heartbreak, from pleasant to petulant, she managed it all and got us the house we wanted. Not to mention that she completed the offer paperwork on the house we finally bought FROM HER CAR on the highway! So if you want an agent that is going to go the extra mile (pun intended) for you and make sure your dreams are fulfilled, you want Anna Marie!

ZillowVERIFIEDWe actually worked with Trenna Deviney in the same office. (We had no contact with Ms. Kozel) Trenna was timely, provided needed information and a schedule of the process, all in a professional, friendly manor. Our purchase was a fairly simple transaction and closed as planned. We would recommend Trenna for real estate needs in the area.

Personable, professional, and caring are the best words to describe Anna Marie. We listed our home with Anna and then the Covid 19 hit with all of the ramifications on isolation and social distancing hit. We even experienced a period where house showings quit. Anna Marie Kozel was there to encourage us and guide things until our home sold. I would recommend her to anyone selling a home.

ZillowVERIFIEDAnna Marie went above and beyond throughout the entire process! We were able to easily express our wants and needs for what we felt would be a successful community for us and she was always willing to accommodate my crazy schedule for showings. She ran the spectrum of homes from our top tier to our lowest and helped with the pros and cons throughout. Our purchase presented many challenges after our offer was presented and accepted. She was supportive in our vetting of the details as they emerged and supported whatever decisions we made. She had several local contacts that helped us get prepared for the move from our home in PA to South Carolina. We had several opportunities to visit the home and get what we needed so we could be move in ready at closing. The closing process itself went smoothly and she was very helpful in getting us there and wrapped up. We were ultimately very happy with our purchase despite all of its challenges and are happy we had the opportunity to work with Ann Marie.

ZillowVERIFIEDAnna Marie was very helpful in properly marketing and selling our lot at Crow Creek. We unfortunately overpaid for the lot but we expected to live there and loved the property. Things changed and we moved to Colorado to be near our son. Anna Marie was very upfront about the value of the lot and was able to find a buyer to purchase the lot at a reasonable price. We would definitely use her services again and recommend her to others.

ZillowVERIFIEDWe just closed on our new home in Calabash and the entire experience was a complete stroll in the park with Anna's knowledge and expertise! Even meeting her for the first time, you feel like you've known her forever and she's like one of the family. She is very quick to respond to any questions, handle anything that you may need very quickly and she was always looking out for our best interests, considering we were buying our new home while living in another state. We have already told others about her that are interested in moving to the area in the future. We wouldn't use anyone else!

ZillowVERIFIEDAnna Marie helped us for the third time in 2018. We had a home built on a lot that she located for us. She listed our home and helped us to price it correctly.it sold within 3 weeks. We were very pleased with her service. Buying and selling real estate are two of the most stressful events. Anna Marie did her best to alleviate that stress. We would not consider anyone else and will recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell. Her husband Al also added value to the equation with his years of experience and photography skills.

ZillowVERIFIEDI contacted Anna Marie in September 2018 to put my condo on the market in Sunset Beach. I had two offers in less than a month and the property was completely closed in less than two months. She is very knowledgeable about the area. She is also an excellent stager. After my condo sold I contacted her about searching for a house to replace my condo. She found a nice house with all my requirements in Ocean Isle Beach. I would highly recommend Anna Marie if you are looking to buy or sell your property!
