Author: Ann M Huddock

Hello Friends! I'm a mother, wife, Realtor, mortgage loan originator, dog owner, southeastern Minnesotan, Virginia-born, and lead singer of a local rock band. I am committing to writing a blog post every Weekend in order to strengthen my writing and communication skills as well as find a creative outlet outside of music because lets face it...I don't have any artistic skills :). Throughout the buying and selling process, I strive to be an intuitive and passionately committed partner with my clients. Today's consumers demand convenience and I provide fast, easy service and the support you need when you want it. Whether you are a first-time home buyer or you are downsizing now that the nest is empty, I'm excited to partner with you every step of the way. Homeownership is how most people build wealth and I am the expert you need to navigate you through the process. I am licensed as a Real Estate Agent in MN & WI with Fathom Realty and I am a member of the National Association of Realtors®.
