With a lifelong career in sales, Ann Marie Ford understands the importance of being detailed and responsive and has spent her career emphasizing those qualities. As Spark Real Estate's transaction coordinator, Ann Marie is ready to tackle any challenge and expertly handle even the most minute transaction details. She helps ensure that the firm's clients experience an entirely smooth process.

 

Ann Marie grew up in the sleepy town of Corona, California, with an energy that seemed tailor-made for a sales career. Right after graduating from high school, she began her career at FAC Sales, which sold gift items to retail stores. Ann Marie worked directly with account executives and new hires to establish goals and strategies that would increase productivity. She conducted training sessions, workshops, and sales meetings that focused primarily on objectives and accountability, and she helped her company rank as the No. 1 sales team for three consecutive years with Cast Art Industries, Inc.

 

When the gift industry was heavily impacted by the events of September 11, 2001, Ann Marie considered alternative career options before deciding to obtain her real estate license in 2005. She has since made herself further accessible to her clients as a notary public, certified transaction coordinator, and certified notary signing agent.

 

Ann Marie both married and moved to Murrieta with her husband in 2017. She seems to have a fondness for pairs as she is a mom of two grown children and two grown stepchildren and a pet mom to two dogs and two cats! In her spare time, she enjoys cooking, baking, gardening, hiking, spending time with family, and football season. A hugely proud Navy mom, Ann Marie supports the military and the Veterans Advocacy and Benefits Association.
