We had a great experience with Ann Finley in both selling our home and purchasing a new home. She had a great understanding of the market in our area and was available and helpful to us at all times. We highly recommend Ann Finley.

-Myra Hager, Client

Ann recently assisted us with a mountain cabin purchase and we found her to be extremely knowledgeable, attentive and professional. She took care to make sure that we knew at all times where we were in the process. Ann was also great at working with the seller's agent on negotiations and getting our questions answered.

-J. Page, Friend

Ann has been my agent for three real estate transactions in the past three years, including both selling and buying. That says it all! She is simply the best! I would never go elsewhere.

-H. Lawe, Client

"We were introduced to Ann as part of our relocation. During this stressful time Ann more than exceeded our expectations and worked tirelessly to make sure we got what we wanted. We can't say enough great things about our experience working with Ann and have been thankful for her continued involvement even after the purchase of our home to insure we are happy."

-A. Lesinski, Client

It's true that Ann is never too busy to help me, my friends & family. She was very calm to help me for negotiation the offer and solve the problems raised peacefully.
