Annie Wachtel

What do Clients Say?

"I chose several agents to interview when we decided to move when my husband retired. My original selection process for agents was to go on the internet and see how they represented their clients. Annie stood out among them all; however, I did talk with 3. Annie was hands on the best choice! Annie's approach is to represent the seller with the most professional media available...and she did just that. She sat down with us and went over everything in great detail. She listened to what we had to say and took all of it into consideration. She's a great listener...and she even took advice from us and implemented it! The photographer that came to the house was amazing and his photos showed our house in the best possible way ever. He has an amazing eye for capturing just the right shots. Annie knew who she wanted and we waited until he was available...good decision! I could go on and on. I would like to mention just one more thing...Annie became our friend!"

"It was a delight working with Annie. She was able to prepare our house for showings in the very precarious time of COVID -19. She was efficient and extremely careful with protocols. She was able to make us and potential buyers comfortable with her gracious and friendly demeanor. Her negotiation skills were rewarded with a quick sale and a result that made all parties happy. We can highly recommend Annie."

"The smartest thing we could have done! When my siblings and I decided to sell my father's house, we turned to Annie. She took charge from the get-go! Annie knew that we lived 3 states away and made our lives easy. From coordinating repairs, to negotiating with buyers, I was impressed with her energy and professionalism. Annie is knowledgeable and efficient. She is a great communicator always keeping us current. From start to finish, Annie made sure everything went smoothly. We are grateful and fortunate to have worked with her."

"Working with our very professional associate, Annie Wachtel, made this home purchase a pleasurable experience. She was readily available, knowledgable and prompt to respond to our needs, requests and concerns. Always one step ahead, she was well prepared to guide us through the process and we highly regarded her sage advice."

"Whether or not it's true, every single communication with the sales associate made us feel like we were her top priority. The instantaneous responses, the thorough explanations, the willing to repeat things were just so helpful. Again, we were first-time home-buyers but actually never felt that dread of being in the dark. We knew throughout where we were heading in the months-long buying process, but then also what the immediate next step was. Annie Wachtel, the sales associate, was unbelievable in being responsive. I would send out emails or texts at 6am and at 10pm, expecting an answer hours later. Instead, she would respond instantaneously, and my wife and I were able to learn much more quickly about the whole process (we're first-time home-buyers). Getting questions answered took seconds, not hours, not days."

About Annie

Business Philosophy

Whatever your real estate transaction, you are dealing with a major asset and an emotional bond at the same time. Being able to bring value to both parts of this equation is how I practice. I believe that an agent's most important tool is to be able to listen well and communicate directly to help a client determine their critical needs and wants. Pricing, timing and emotion can affect these choices. My background in finance allows me to provide the analytical side of a deal by performing market analyses and home valuations for each situation. As a native of Nahant and longtime resident of the Northshore, raising children in the schools and sports, I can share my knowledge of the differentiating factors between the towns and draw upon my local resources to help problem solve. Lastly, having served as a fiduciary for many years, I understand and am capable of bringing the accountability, ethics and responsiveness necessary to your home purchase or sale.
