Cummins’ experience helps get the job done

- By Rebecca Maitland CORRESPOND­ENT

Anne Cummins has been in the real estate industry for almost two decades and has seen many changes, such as in technology, marketing, etc.

Her experience, market knowledge, staying abreast on the ever-changing contracts, trends, and her growing focus area have led to her being an awardwinni­ng Realtor.

“Real estate values are current and fluid. Premarket preparatio­n and right pricing are key. As a certified stager with my own accessory inventory, I prepare homes for market competitio­n at no charge. Tweaking what is there and adding what is fresh to arrange rooms for function and appeal before the profession­al photos is what achieves the quickest sales at the highest price, especially if the home is priced right from the onset,” said Anne Cummins, a Realtor with Martha Turner Sotheby’s Internatio­nal Realty.

Today, many buyers are searching online prior to contacting a Realtor or asking to see a property.

“Preparing a home prior to the pictures is one of the most important steps, because otherwise we may not be able to draw buyers to the home,” Cummins said.

Cummins, a native Houstonian, works in the Conroe, The Woodlands and Willis areas. And it is a great time to consider this area when looking to buy or sell a home, she said.

Moreover, she has called this area home for 20-plus years, so she knows the area, schools, amenities, and all this area offers.

“Working with Sotheby’s we have a great support system, and continual training. And we have our own graphic arts department, so our advertisin­g for clients is exceptiona­l,” Cummins said.

Plus, her clients benefit from her long-term experience in the real estate industry and understand­ing what her buyers want.

She is known for sincerely caring about clients, is a perfection­ist when it comes to serving clients with top-notch customer service, but most of all, she wants her clients to be happy at closing.

Prior to real estate, Cummins worked in human resources for an internatio­nal corporatio­n. She worked with many different personalit­ies as the national administra­tor, held conference­s, and handled hiring in the U.S.

“Finding and having one’s dream home can be a reality, and I find a high level of satisfacti­on helping clients find that perfect home to meet their needs and goals,” Cummins said.

Due to Cummins’ experience and client satisfacti­on, she has the distinct honor to be in Martha Turner Sotheby’s Internatio­nal Realty’s Circle of Excellence and was the No. 2 producer in The Woodlands last year.
