My story
Before I ever opened a door for a buyer, I served as an NYPD police officer. That job taught me how to stay calm under pressure, read people, ask the right questions and solve problems fast. Those skills come in handy at the negotiating table, and on inspection day.
Then I relocated from New York to North Carolina and started over. I know what it's like to compare towns from hundreds of miles away, wonder about taxes and commutes, and try to make a big decision without knowing the area yet. That's a big part of why relocation is at the heart of what I do.
I found my passion for marketing while working in property management. I taught myself from the ground up, and it took me to the role of Director of Marketing for Caul Group, an eXp Realty mega team, where I led the team's marketing: marketing plans, farming campaigns, client events, and social media and branding trainings for agents. I've also spoken at eXp Con about how agents can stand out in today's attention economy.
Today I'm a licensed North Carolina real estate broker (NC Lic. 362778) with Anna Powell Real Estate | eXp Realty. I'm also a wife and a mom of two, so I understand busy calendars and big life changes.
What that means for you
Marketing is my background
Sellers get a real marketing plan, not just a sign in the yard: professional media, platform-specific social content and weekly reporting.
Relocation, from experience
Video tours, commute test-drives, and honest answers about taxes, utilities and how school assignment works here.
Local and nationwide
I personally serve the Triangle and Johnston County, and I can refer you to a trusted agent anywhere in the country.
How I work
- Straight talk. I'll tell you what I know, what I don't, and where to verify it.
- Everything in writing. Buyer and listing agreements, fees and services are explained clearly up front. Commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.
- Fair housing, always. I describe homes and areas by features, like commute, home styles, amenities and price. I won't tell you who an area is “for.” You decide where home is.
- Your schedule matters. Early, late and weekend showings where sellers allow, live video walk-throughs and e-signatures.
I also coach other agents on marketing and personal branding. You can find those offers, plus my free guides and consults, on my Stan Store.
Let's chat.
No pressure and no obligation. Tell me where you are and where you want to be, and I'll lay out the next steps, whether you're buying, selling or moving to North Carolina.
