Introducing Anne My Real Estate journey started with a passion for excellence; it grew into a passion for customer satisfaction.

I have the privilege to live in PGA West and to golf and work in some of the most beautiful golf courses of La Quinta. I have more than 11 years of experience as a realtor in the Valley and I have been nominated among the Top Realtors of the Valley 5 consecutive years.

Being constantly among the top agents of the Desert proves one thing: when you work exclusively for the clients, with the clients, when you understand their needs, respect their constraints and their timeframe, when you bring professionalism, integrity, support and knowledge, the buyers and sellers recognize it and appreciate it. I love being a Real Estate Agent: the trust built with my clients, the success we achieve together in their real estate journey and the satisfaction of a job well done keeps me going

Let’s get together and talk real estate strategy for you, with you!

What My Clients Are Saying I have bought and sold many homes over the years and Anne made this transaction the most enjoyable that I have ever experienced! We looked at this house 3 years ago, when we first met Anne. We did not buy it, but it came back on the market and Anne called us to make us aware. We really appreciate her follow up. Unfortunately, in the past I have wondered “who`s side is my agent on?”. There was never a doubt with Anne. She was responsive, direct and supportive through the whole process, even while out of the country. I would recommend Anne to everyone!

MECOBO, LA QUINTA Best agent in the desert. She is very professional, very organized, always available and very knowledgeable. I am recommending her to everybody I know.

MBRADBURY, LA QUINTA Anne is a joy to work with. She is very in touch with the local marketplace and is extremely honest in the advice she offers to her clients. I would definitely use Anne again and will recommend her to my friends.

JJWILLIAMSDWSTEEL, LA QUINTA When we think about Anne Stark, two words come to mind right away: dedication and integrity. We used Anne to sell two properties for us and we can’t tell you how pleased we are. She is thoroughly committed to her clients. She works tirelessly to get the job done, keeping you informed every step of the way. We have met many realtors in the Valley and if we had one realtor to recommend, it would be Anne Stark.

SHERRY H, LA QUINTA
