About Ann Marie
When Ann Marie is not busy serving her clients, you can find her spending time with her family and friends at home, at sporting or arts events, or enjoying sunsets at the lake with her husband of 33 years. Being at home with her gang is how Ann Marie unwinds after long days working for her clients. Ann Marie has dedicated her professional life to helping her clients achieve their real estate goals. Ann Marie was raised in Augusta, Georgia, the oldest of four born to Norah and Noel Schweers. Norah was born in Donegal Ireland and emigrated to the States in 1958. Norah lived in New York City for a time before meeting and marrying Noel and settling down in the deep south in 1961. Her experience served to give Ann Marie an appreciation and empathy for just how difficult relocating to a new culture can be. Noel Schweers was born and raised in Augusta. He started selling real estate in 1954 with an office on the corner of 8th and Broad Streets, the hub of the real estate world on that day! During childhood, Ann Marie loved to work in his office, make the lunchtime rounds to all the banks with Noel for rentals and escrow deposits, and then go for ‘meat-and-three’ at Bubba Farr’s diner, the mecca for businessmen and politicians. What a great place where you could sit in the big booths with the governor, a senator, local plant manager, or your mortgage broker or all four on any given day! It is little wonder that the lure of the business eventually drew Ann Marie home. Ann Marie was taught from a young age that if you want something in life, you must work for it. So that is what she did. At four, her mom signed her up for classical ballet with the formidable Frankie Rubenstein Levy. The exposure to the discipline paid off. Day in and day out for 20 years Ann Marie
