Hi, I’m Anna Klarck with AK Homes.

Thank you for visiting my website. I have been a Lake County resident for the past 24 years, licensed broker since 1996. I have an in depth knowledge of the real estate market in this area.

My passion is real estate and serving my clients. My goal with every one of my clients, whether selling their home or finding them the perfect new home, is to provide the absolute best real estate service available.

I am always looking out for your best interest. I infuse my passion and expertise to create a real estate experience that you will not forget. I truly enjoy meeting new people and creating lifetime friendships.

I am a firm believer in continuing education, and continually pursue to better myself by taking additional courses, and earning real estate designations, to be the best agent I can for my clients. I currently have 14 designations which will help you to make better decisions.

Most top producing agents have a team to handle the details and life cycle of your selling and buying experience, with little contact with the agent you signed up to work with. However, I provide personal attention with no impersonal team interaction. You hired me and you will get my undivided attention throughout your transaction.

When Anna arrived in the United States from Europe in 1989, she settled with her husband in Lake County. Having grown up the daughter of a European baker, sales and customer service mindset were ingrained in her thinking from a young age. “In 1996 I got my real estate license and have had a passion for the real estate industry ever since,” she says.

Agent Education: How to stay sharp at every stage of your career

by JASON PORTERFIELD JUNE 27, 2016
In real estate, the barrier to entry is low. Newly licensed agents are released into the world with the state’s blessing to sell real estate, but many of them lack practical, important knowledge about building up a successful real estate business, such as how to select what brokerage to affiliate with or how to generate leads. On paper, they are qualified. But real estate is a sink-or-swim business, and those lacking the core skills needed to compete will sink. 

There are many ways agents can address the education gap. Some may find mentors. Others might latch onto an existing team and “learn on the job” while benefiting from a safety net. Agents might go the online learning route, or may elect to invest in the services of a real estate coach. Each option has its own merits. However, agents first must acknowledge what they do not know – and decide the best way to learn it.  CLICK HERE to read more…
