Ann Marie Skunda with Sky Reality is one of the most professional Realtors I have ever come across. She manages every detail and anticipates any potential issue or problem and knows how to capitalize on each opportunity. She is able to advise you correctly from her wealth of knowledge in real estate transactions. She always had the “bull by the horns” and she operates in complete control to achieve the best results. She managed a local Sale for us and a Purchase at the same time that was several counties away with a very contentious seller. The Purchase would have fallen through multiple times except for Ann Marie anticipating the next and correct strategy to keep everything on track. Our local sale occurred quickly with multiple offers and each offer presented a different complexity. She identified correctly potential problems and opportunities with each offer we had received. We adhered to her advice of which offer to accept based on her correct analysis of price, buyer personality and the overall offer with the highest potential to finalize in a sale. She was right on every step. I can promise you will be extremely satisfied by selecting Ann Marie Skunda with Sky Reality to help you sail through the many potential complexities of the real estate market today.

We have moved more times than we can remember. Ann Marie was absolutely flawless and professional and one of the best realtors we’ve worked with. She handled every last detail and we knew we were in good hands with her. She’s also a great ambassador for Wimberley!

We highly recommend her for any real estate needs.

We cannot say enough about Ann Marie. She was extremely patient with us in finding just the right home for us. She drove us around in March for three days and we viewed several properties. We liked a new house and decided to place a bid on it. We were not in Texas but Ann Marie took over and made certain that we would be pleased with the house we wanted. It was not to be. The home inspection revealed many faults in that home and Ann Marie strongly urged us against buying it. We were disappointed but at her urging decided to cancel that contract.

She assured us that our home would become available. She took our sister and brother-in-law on several more jaunts because we saw other properties on line. Ann Marie found out that our home was going to come on the market and made an appointment to view it. There were several other interested buyers for that home. Again, Ann Marie advised us and we made a bid which was accepted. The home inspector found several deficiencies in this house also. Ann Marie negotiated a better price after we submitted the contract and continued to work with us to give us information about our move. She hired people to do work in our home and continues to give advice. We are very thankful that we will have a continuing relationship with her.

Ann Marie has been wonderful and delightful. Every step of the way she was there for us. She was on top of things that needed to get done. She informed us with options and was great to brainstorm with. She was always friendly and just helpful as can be throughout the process. We now consider her and friend and will connect with her when we settle in. We would also highly recommend.

Ann Marie has been an essential part of my life for the past four years. It all started when I wanted to sell a large property on acreage and downsize to a smaller property with not so much land. Who knew that it would take more than a year to sell.

The entire time Ann Marie was by my side; encouraging me, not letting me give up, “it will sell”, she always said. And it did. She spent many hours finding me the right sized house on less acreage. I loved it. The new house was out in the country and had access to the Blanco. It was perfect. Only it wasn’t.

So, I decided to sell and called Ann Marie again. This time the house sold and she found me the house that I now call perfect. I found out that sometimes one can downsize too much and too fast.

All the time Ann Marie was warm, enthusiastic, optimistic, and working hard to find me the right house. She can certainly stand her ground when negotiating a contract.Something I just did not have time for. I appreciate her for all that she has done for me and my family.

Ann Marie is not only the best realtor but also, now, a very good friend.

Ann Marie is one of the best realtors I have ever worked with! She is knowledgeable, reliable, and caring. She listens to what you need and helps you find the home that fits those needs. She has a great network of people that help every step of the way. Buying and selling can be very stressful but working with Ann Marie those stressed were minimal. I highly recommend her to help you with your next home adventure.

I first met Ann Marie at the river, I was having a girls weekend and she came down there with her 4 dogs. My husband and I owned a lot in the same subdivision as Ann Marie so we both had river rights to the same river park. Ann Marie and my girlfriends of course proceeded to talk real estate and how much we all loved Wimberley. One of my friends actually bought a house from Ann Marie the next day.

Well since then there have been many real estate transactions that Ann Marie has helped me with. She helped my husband and me sell our home in Taylor. She found a builder here in Wimberley to build on our lot. Due to the sudden passing of my husband I needed to downsize from the home that we built. Ann Marie helped me find a lot in another subdivision where I proceeded to build a smaller home. After the home was completed I decided I did not want to move into it because I didn’t want to leave my present subdivision. I asked Ann Marie if she would sell the small home I just completed and she said no problem. She put it on the market one day and sold it the next day. I took my big house off the market.

A couple months later I bought a lot in my present subdivision from the same builder who built my big home. Upon completion of my home Ann Marie put my big house back on the market on a Friday and sold it on Sunday. My new house backs up to Ann Marie’s house…. we put a gate between our lots and the rest is history. ♥ Needless to say she is much more than my Realtor.

We happened to find her number online when we were driving around looking at houses in Wimberley. She immediately met us at one of her properties on a Sunday. Right away, I knew she would be our realtor. She was honest and genuine, and we felt such a connection with her. Ann Marie not only sold my house in Buda in just a couple months, she sold my mother-in-law’s home on 30 acres (which seemed like an impossible task for realtors they’d used in the past), and my great aunt’s home, also in Buda. I wouldn’t recommend ANYONE else. She is THAT good. She will fight for you every step of the way. Buying and selling has such ups and downs, and Ann Marie really minimized the stress simply because of her expertise and knowledge.

Not only is she a top notch realtor, handling 4 deals in our family, we still get to be friends. We know we can count on her if we need her, even now. There is no one else we would recommend to anyone needing a realtor.

Anne Marie Skunda skillfully ushered us through the sale of our unique property. Being an equestrian property with many different features it required her professional marketing skills which she applied artfully. Ann Marie made every aspect of our sale fun.

We bought an interim house with her help while building in Johnson City and are planning to list this house with her when our home is finished. We could say so many other wonderful things about Ann Marie but we decided to keep it brief.

My husband and I decided to make a move to the Hill Country, unsure of exactly what city/area we wanted to live. Ann Marie worked with us for over a year, showing us property all over several surrounding counties. She has a very strong work ethic. She worked many weekends, including Sundays. She was very patient with us, even spending many hours in freezing rain on various properties we were viewing. We would highly recommend her as a realtor to others and now consider her a friend.

Ann,

Debbie and I wish to thank you for your efforts in helping us find and purchase our home in Wimberley. As you know, we have transferred many times and have sold and bought a lot of houses and we can both truly say that no other realtor guided us through the buying process better than you. Searching for river front homes prior to our transfer being effective and then having those homes that we had found sold before our company would allow us to bid on them was certainly disappointing. But you worked very hard to find us alternatives and we are very happy with both the neighborhood and home that you helped us locate. We really enjoy the quiet secluded setting, the large lot and the great scenery and sunsets out the back windows. This really is a home that we can retire in if that works out in the future. And all of our children, spouses and grandkids love the place so maybe we can convince them to come visit us occasionally.

We not only appreciated your ability to find us a house. We appreciate your professional manner, your perceptive ability to understand what we were looking for and what our buying priorities were. You also provided good guidance on property values, potential re-sale issues, and bidding strategies.

In short, if we ever do decide to sell this house, we will check with you first on listing the property. And we could recommend you to other buyers seeking a realtor to work with.

Kind regards,

Barry & Debbie S.

 

We were referred to Ann Marie by my brother and sister-in-law who used her to find their home in Wimberley several years ago. They told me that she was very kind, personable and attentive to detail. They were correct. We were expecting a transfer from Houston to Central Texas within the year. I made at least seven trips to Wimberley to look at homes with Ann Marie. She is unbelievably attentive to detail concerning the your expectations to the point that she can find attributes in a home that you didn’t even know yourself that you were looking for. She takes the time to get to know you and your desires to best match up home and homeowner. She was just as patient, kind and courteous on the last house we looked at as she was on the first. She was professional and personable, she even packed us a lunch on one outing because there were not any restaurants in the area! Ann Marie is honorably devoted to her family and when you chose Ann Marie as your realtor, you get that same devotion hands down, she goes to bat for ya! She is currently looking for a home for my father now in the same area, she’s our family realtor.

Ann Marie is GREAT to work with. She knows the area and is ALWAYS available when needed. She uses a professional photographer. The quality photos and video of my home were key to its sale. I highly recommend her!

We arrived in Wimberley deciding to move here without ever seeing the town. Keller Williams was the first office we stopped into and that’s when we first met Ann Marie. We instantly her, and liked that she never pressured us into purchasing right away. We were unsure of the areas around town and she was always available for us. We finally decided to rent, until our home sold and she asked for nothing in return. Finally, having issues with the rent house that we had found on our own, she got us out and found another one for us. Again, getting nothing in return. Our house in Houston sold 6 months later. Ann Marie had informed other realtors what we were looking for and to keep an eye out. She got a call soon after, about one that was coming on the market. So we looked that same week and made an offer. We love our new home! She did a great job. We always felt she was in it for us, and not the commission. We recommend her to others all the time.
