More about Ann

Why Real Estate?

Ronnie and I became Real Estate Agents over 20 years ago when there were no cell phones. We used CB radios to communicate with our office or agents in their cars. We had to take photos of properties with a camera, and rush the film in to be developed. Now technology has changed.

Why Harcourts?

It offers one of the best training academies, web-based, and technological systems available.

Why Harcourts Mercantile?

Ronnie and I are the proud owners of the company. We are passionate about real estate and we value the agents and staff that we employ.

Our Commitment to the Community.

Ronnie and I love giving back to the community Five years ago we created an awareness for elderly people living in an old age home in E.L. Since then every month we put together a birthday wish list for their precious people. As a Harcourts group, we have sponsored and paid for a vehicle for the E.L old age home. The Harcourts foundation also benefits far out company's and as a group has fulfilled many commitments.
