After coming to the painful decision to sell our vacation property in Sandpiper Bay Golf and Country Club, it was time to find a real estate firm and listing agent that would help us through the selling process, since we live in Canada. After extensive research, Anna Marie Kozel and the firm she works for, Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage, kept coming up as one of the top agents and real estate firms to work with. I reached out to Anna Marie and was immediately comfortable working with her. She provided her honest opinion, not what you want to hear and that all decisions were ours to make. She kept us up to date on all showings and feedback that she received. Anna Marie also let us know that if we had any questions that we could call, text or email her anytime. She was also sensitive to the fact that we lived in Canada and could not travel down if any issues arose. Anna Marie organized the repairs the buyers requested after their home inspection. During the closing phase, things stalled, and Anna Marie stepped in, took charge and brought it to the finish line. We are forever grateful to Anna Marie for her professionalism and sensitivity in the sale of our vacation home. I would highly recommend Anna Marie Kozel to anyone who is thinking of selling or buying a property in the area, along with Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage. Gerry/Christine

Anna Marie Kozel is an extremely knowledgeable real estate agent. For someone like me who seldom buys or sells real estate, she has been patient in answering my questions and giving feedback. She walked me through each area of selling and buying and never made me feel inadequate. I value her honesty and quiet way of helping you with everything involved. If I ever buy or sale in Sunset, there will never be another agent for me but Anna Marie Kozel. She is the BEST! Betty Terrell

I have dealt with Anna Marie Kozel two times. First time was in selling my house and most recently purchasing my home. I’ve dealt with a lot of agents over the years but none come close to Anna. She makes me feel like family and stayed in touch constantly through the whole process. From the first time I met her, I felt like I’ve known her for years. I have shared her information with so many others for any future business. She is the best!

Anna Marie Kozel is by far one of the most professional, knowledgeable, experienced, diligent and hard working real estate professionals we have ever known. She was our agent who helped us find our home in Ocean Ridge Plantation when we moved from Virginia. And she was our agent for selling that home this month and the purchase of our next home in Tidewater Plantation in North Myrtle Beach, SC. Her undertow the real estate tools available and the real estate rules and requirements in both NC and SC is unsurpassed! Her good nature and patience had a calming effect for us as sellers and buyers. We would recommend Anna Marie without hesitation and with the accolades she has earned and deserves.

This is the second time we have used Anna Marie Kozel for real estate transactions, first as a Buyer and second as a Seller. She is very personable, reliable, and honest during the buying and selling process. During our latest sale of our home she provided excellent recommendations for staging our home, provided accurate comparable sales, and assisted with the evaluation of three offers received after two days on the market, all of which were over our asking price. We closed on our home in less than 45 days from the date it was listed. We would not hesitate to recommend Anna Marie and her team to anyone interested in selling their home in the Brunswick County area of North Carolina.
