Sold a Condo home in 2018 in Madeira Beach, FL.

When we decided to sell our beach-front condo, we began by interviewing local realtors who had received great feedback from their clients. When Anne Hensel met with us we were immediately impressed by her professionalism; she is very personable and came to our meeting well prepared. With her skillful presentation, Anne proved to us that she was a person we could count on to represent our best interests. Anne is a great listener and she knows how to make an impression with her extensive knowledge of the area and current real estate market. Anne and her team created a fabulous virtual tour of our condo that allowed potential buyers to see all that our unit had to offer. The virtual tour was so effective that the condo sold immediately. Anne then competently negotiated the conditions of sale and kept us well apprised of the process right through to closing. We were exceptionally pleased with Anne's efforts on our behalf and heartily recommend her with a very well deserved FIVE star rating.

We met Anne Hensel about a month ago when we were became interested in buying a property in St Petersburg. She is a delightful person who never put any pressure on us to buy, which we really appreciated. She took in our needs and only showed us properties that met our criteria - again a plus. She answered all our questions and had wide knowledge of not only the properties, but also the neighborhoods. To say we were impressed is an understatement. She is personable, professional and positive. We recommend her without hesitation. Michele Elliott

Sold a Condo home in 2015 in St Pete Beach, FL.

Passionate about helping achieve whatever it is her clients want. That's what comes to mind when I think about Anne. I first started using her professional services to help manage a small vacation condo about 18 years ago. Her attention to detail led to using her again a few years later to acquire a $3 million property, and once again recently to help sell that same small $250,000 condo. Regardless of the size of the transaction, whether simply looking to find a reliable house cleaner, to helping win a bid against sophisticated competing buyers (even though we bid less, mind you!), to selling in a tough market, Anne consistently did an impressive job at first making sure she understood my goals, and then helping me achieve them in a fair and professional manner. In the 18 years of history since the first time I worked with Anne, I have never experienced a professional that does a better job at making sure her clients achieve their goals.

Simply stated, We would not have gotten the house of our dreams if Anne didn't go WAYYYY above and beyond to help us. She went well beyond what a realtor is required to do. She made us promises and she stopped at nothing to keep them. Highly recommended. If you are looking for the highest level or professionalism, and a woman that knows her how to make things happen, then look no further. I have never written a review for anything, but I could not resist putting the word out about Anne.

She was fantastic. I had found this as a local listing and Anna happened to be our realtor. I've never used a realtor before but I'm glad I did, Anna was great. She was timely as to when we needed to meet, she responded quickly to everything and even in the moment of the crazy "cash" deal that fell through she was able to get in touch with us ASAP to tell us we got the place even when things were hectic. It looks a matter of weeks to square things away. If you want a realtor Anne is your person!!! She was also a local in the St. Petersburg/TI area so that helped out quite a bit.

We have bought and sold many homes through the years and we can’t stress enough how good our experience was with Anne. From start to finish she was all over it. She picked up our listing from another realtor who didn't invest time or energy. Many others would shy away from such listings but Anne took the ball and ran with it.. and with passion and energy like no other. She helped stage the house, was proactive with marketing and we had an all cash offer in hand within weeks! Strong but fair negotiator. Extremely responsive and worked with us until the end and has been great in maintaining the relationship since. If we could move her to where we are today we would!
