Anne Carroll,CRB,CRS,GRI —a preservation advocate with a long-time passion for historic architecture and a desire to preserve our history became a real estate broker 1983 specializing in marketing and selling historic properties. There is quality found in historic homes—the quality of design, material, and handcraft—that doesn't exist in many of today's McMansions e.g. plaster walls and decorative elements created by craftsmen. Specializing in marketing and selling historic properties comes with its own set of challenges. Historic properties are unique and appeal to a specialized buyer. You need very specialized marketing for these types of houses. Unlike cookie-cutter houses in tract developments, historic properties can be a challenge to value. Since each property is unique, it's often difficult to find comparable sales. Historic properties are, by definition, old—many are more than 100 years old. As a result, they have issues that real estate professionals who deal with newer homes don't often face. Still, the rewards of specializing in historic properties can be great. They all have charm and stories and Anne feels very privileged to be able to be a part of it. Historic preservation is what put Troy on the map for a community who cares about its history. If you preserve the character of a building you get more of a community feeling. When you start tearing down history, you lose that sense of fiber.
