Anne West • Anne West is a member of the Maureen Spriggs Group at Coldwell Banker on the North Shore of Chicago. She is a full-time Realtor with strong business and marketing skills that she applies on behalf of her clients each and every day. Anne transitioned to real estate after a successful twenty-year career in consumer marketing, where she developed marketing strategies for some of the top consumer brands. Her expertise in marketing and advertising is a competitive advantage for her clients because she knows exactly how to package and promote homes for sale to attract the right buyers. She is also a tech-savvy Realtor who effectively uses the web, social media and mobile marketing to maximize exposure for her clients’ properties. Anne moved around a lot prior to settling down on the North Shore several years ago, so she knows what it’s like to be new in town and how important it is to have an agent who can provide expert guidance on the communities, neighborhoods and schools. She finds it immensely satisfying to help people relocate to the area because she adores her adopted community and loves to share with her clients all of the wonderful things the North Shore has to offer.
