Annemarie fell in love with the Central Coast when she attended Cal Poly back in 2001. It was there she held a concentration in Finance and Appraisal but also received her minor in Psychology. Both of these schools of thought, coupled with Cal Poly’s learn-by-doing philosophy, have contributed to Annemarie being an informed, compassionate, and hard-working realtor.

Having grown up in a real estate family, Annemarie is keenly aware of the care each transaction requires. Like the entire Richardson team, Annemarie strives to exemplify the highest integrity giving each client a quality, full-service experience. Annemarie is always timely with clients and is dedicated to their best interests, while always maintaining a calm presence during every scenario. Annemarie is a member and supporter of Mission de Tolosa, Old Mission Elementary School, and Mission Prep. She also nurtures local causes such as the Templeton Cancer Support Community, the Cal Poly Stampede Club, ECHO Homeless Shelter, the local Honor Flight chapter, Paso Robles Chamber of Commerce/ Women in Business, and is a registered volunteer of Jack’s Helping Hand.

Living on the central coast provides Annemarie and her family with endless opportunities to be outdoors. Topping their favorites are walking the Bob Jones Trail, a day at the beach, watching her alma mater's sports teams, or wine tasting at one of the many acclaimed wineries in SLO County. She and her husband, Tom, are members of the San Luis Obispo Country Club, where she enjoys tennis and occasionally playing golf alongside her husband and two girls. It helps that as a realtor, she also has a strong love of decorating, assisting her clients visualize the potential in their homes. When she isn't busy being with her family and two dogs, or working with her clients, she enjoys a bit of traveling. However, Annemarie feels most comfortable entertaining and cooking at home for friends and family. It is for this reason that she genuinely understands the meaning and value in finding that unique place to call home, where so many wonderful memories, big and small, are made. Over the course of her life, she has realized that there is no other place she would rather have those memories made than at her home on San Luis Obispo's Central Coast.

Client Testimonials

“Moving to the Central Coast was always a dream, but mostly felt far fetched. When we decided to just take the plunge and see what happened we were disheartened by a few aspects of the market. Annemarie came into the picture. Before we we even ready to purchase she was giving us tours, talking with her connections to help us find a potential rental, and checked in on us like an old friend would. We looked at so many homes. Each time Annemarie listened, seeking to understand, never to push or make a quick sale. When we finally did find our home the buying process was challenging. Due to some logistical issues of the seller, communicating was especially difficult and on more than one occasion we considered just throwing in the towel. Annemarie, having come to know us, fought hard. Every challenge that arose, she took care of with grace and quiet dignity. Home buying can be an emotional experience, and I know we were not always the easiest to support, but she never let on. She demonstrated deep caring for our family, and in the end we got the home we knew was perfect for our lives to begin again on the coast. All of that work brought me joy, however when we walked into our home for the first time we found a lovely gift from her, and inside a card with a picture of our children from the day we fell in love with the house. She captured a memory. Those kind of details don?t happen in a regular business transaction, those kind of details only occur when the person you are working with loves what she does, has deep respect (and patience) with her clients, and a love for the community she serves. I have deep respect and appreciation for Annemarie, I would recommend her without reservation. And while I swore I would never move again, if the day ever comes, she will be my first call.”

“My husband and I have been wanting to leave the California Central Valley for a little over a year to make the move to the Central Coast. We were connected with Annemarie through a mutual friend and became fast friends. Annemarie made the time to meet with us to ensure she knew exactly what we were wanting. Not long after we began our search, Annemarie found us our dream home. We knew the second she sent us the listing that this was our forever home. Throughout the entire home buying process, Annemarie served as the best liaison between us and the sellers and guided us through the process with ease. She attended every home walk through, inspection, etc. and even stepped in to represent us when we could not make the drive to the coast from the valley. She always had our best interest in mind and did all that she could to make this experience enjoyable and as stress-free as possible. On move in day, she came to congratulate us and welcomed us with donuts and breakfast burritos from a local bakery and gifted us a lovely basket of all local goods. She has truly helped to make our new home feel special. We have gained a friend in Annemarie, and we are just so grateful to have worked alongside such a passionate individual!”

“We are from the Valley and decided on purchasing a vacation home in Paso Robles. Annemarie came highly referred and we knew from our first meeting that she would be great to work with. Her knowledge of the area and market helped us find the perfect home. She was so patient with us and took the time to set up showings in as many homes as possible while we were in town. We started working with Annemarie in October and closed the house in December. She is smart, efficient, kind and just a joy to work with. She is definitely the only realtor that we will work with in the future.”

“Annemarie was truly exceptional in her service to us. She is thoroughly professional, considerate, and willing to do what needs to be done for her clients. She is an excellent communicator and kept us informed throughout the sale process. She gave us wise counsel and graciously assisted with matters we could not handle personally, given that we live 3 hours away. She far exceeded our expectations and we gladly give her our highest recommendation. We really enjoyed working with her! ”

“We were blessed to find Annemarie! She kept us informed as all of the steps occurred and let us know what to expect in the future. I've bought and sold a few homes in my life, Annemarie made this the least "painful" of all of the house buying/selling experiences. I have told Annemarie that I will recommend her to anyone buying or selling in the future.”

-Rich and Nancy

“Annemarie was our real estate agent for my grandfather's estate. Our family was under high stress with emotions due to his loss and settling various issues that pertained to this complicated process. Annemarie was not only with us through every step but she was incredibly thoughtful and patient. She was understanding and had the maturity to realize that some things had to take some time. Her communication was impeccably fast and reliable. Our family was impressed at how insightful she was and even when we thought we had no options, she came through with poise and good advice. We are incredibly grateful for her steady guidance through an emotional process for us. I wish she lived closer to our area so I can continue to refer her to our local friends and family.”

-Todd
