Born and raised in Michigan, I have lived in several states. I got my bachelors degree at the University of Michigan. I taught elementary school in Massachusetts and California. We moved to Colorado in 1989 because California was getting too crowded and at that time we were avid skiers and golfers. What a perfect place to live and work! I met Pat Murphy at a Niwot event and soon after that joined her at Niwot Real Estate. I've worked with her and her team here selling real estate ever since and on July 1, 2021 we officially joined Compass-Colorado, LLC. I've been very pleased with this new arrangement. It gives me more support and technology to make my work with you buying and selling easier and hopefully more productive.
My slogan from the start has been "A Realtor you can count on for service, sincerity, and a smile." You will find me professional, knowledgeable, honest and almost always cheerful. I love gardening and golf and can tell you about the many Golf Courses in the area. Most of my business is from referrals and repeat business. I love working with first time buyers to help them navigate the often scary home purchasing adventure! Let me be your Buyer's Agent!
If you are thinking of selling be sure to talk with me about the services we provide you through The Niwot Group and COMPASS-Colorado.

Whether you’re buying your first home, your dream home, or your tenth investment property, yours will be a big investment. We know how important this is to you. And we have an army of experts to make sure we find the perfect property for your unique circumstances. Finding the perfect property is just one way we can help you with your real estate purchase. As real estate agents, we have ongoing access to experts in every related field from lending to relocation. We won’t rest until we've taken you through every step of the buying process. It’s our guarantee to you.
Because we have lived and worked here for many years, we can provide you with detailed information about our communities, cities, and state. We have a clear understanding of the local market, and the inventory of homes. We also have full access to our Multiple Listing Service (MLS) so you can shop online from the comfort of your own home. Make a list of the homes you want to see and we’ll tour them together.
"Compensation" means how the buyer's agent gets paid. Compensation remains fully negotiable by Buyers and Sellers and their agents. In the past it had become normal for the Seller to offer compensation to the buyer's agent for bringing and representing the Buyer throughout the entire contract period. This offer of payment was referred to as the "Co-op" or "Comp" and was written in the MLS listing. As of August 16, 2024 this has changed and it will no longer be a feature in the MLS.
The home buying process may seem complex, but we’ll make it easy for you. That's what we get paid for! We will help you:
• identify your priorities
• understand the market
• research different communities
• apply for financing
• understand the seller’s responsibilities
• search for properties
• complete and present the Colorado Contract to Buy and Sell
• counteroffer until the deal is just right
• help you evaluate your home inspection
As our client, you will have all the benefits offered by a professional Realtor.

Ann was incredibly helpful through the entire home buying process. She put up with a couple of very picky buyers (my wife and I) with professionalism and was very responsive to our requests. We never felt pressured to place an offer on a property that we weren't 100% interested in or that was beyond our means. We are extremely happy with our new home that she helped make happen!-

Sold it for us in 2021 for more than the listed price to the first buyer who looked at it!
"We have to admit, Ann, it was a little strange to look down the table during our closing on Thursday and not see you there! Because we couldn't tell you then, Bonnie and I want to take a minute now to let you know how extremely appreciative we are for all you did to sell our Vermillion Road home. You put an amazing amount of thought and energy into keeping us (and everything and everyone else) on track. It was wonderful to work with you again. With sincere gratitude..."

Ann Mills is a knowledgeable and personable professional. She listened to my goals and was able to price and sell my condo within weeks of it appearing on the market. One bonus of working with Ann is being able to succeed through her ability to network with other realtors and their buyers. She has good instincts about the market and it was my experience that her advice can be trusted. If you are looking for a realtor for your purchase or sale, I can highly recommend Ann Mills.
Sellers' Agent in Niwot Estates
Ann went above and beyond the call of duty to help us sell our parents' home from out of state. Niwot Realty found us a buyer and helped negotiate a deal that allowed the sale to go through quickly. Ann worked all of the details to make it all happen!
7664 Estate Circle, Niwot
Ann was wonderful in helping us find a home as we moved from Seattle to the greater Boulder area. Overall, she was very responsive, easy to work with, and cared a lot about helping us find what we wanted. We especially appreciated the amount of effort she put into showing us homes, especially when we were visiting from Seattle. In particular, she was working her local connections to help us see homes that might soon come onto the market. She was also helpful in coordinating with local contractors to get some needed work done on the house and helping us (and the seller) remember all of the must dos. We recommend Ann as a realtor especially for folks who may be considering relocating and want a caring and attentive agent on the ground.

Bought a Single Family home in April 2022 on 84th Place in Arvada, CO.
This is now the 3rd time we have used Ann as our agent. As always she did a tremendous job for us, consistently going out of her way to ensure a positive experience. We always felt confident with where we were in the process and in the end got an amazing home for a great price!
Ann was a joy to work with and extremely knowledgeable about the Longmont area. We were new to the area and wanted a trusted source to assist in our search. She was positive and excited to show each house we looked at. Ann made looking at new homes a ton of fun! Thanks for all your help Ann!

Ann was great to work with. We have a long history, and she was able to quickly learn what I was looking for and showed places that reflected my wants but also allowed me to expand or change. She helped me find a place I wanted within two weeks of driving to places with her. Ann listens to what you tell her. I recommend her as a realtor with a good eye, local knowledge, and a willingness to follow up on inspection and replacement details.

"Love the new condo in Longmont Ann helped me buy!"
Ann was a valuable resource in finding my condo and assisting during the build process. She's well-connected in the Longmont area which proved so helpful! I was purchasing in Longmont while living in NC and her expertise was reassuring. She gave sound advice and was a step ahead in the process. Strongly recommend Ann!
