Ambassador of the Month
anna piche
This month we are recognizing Anna Piche from Smith & Company Real Estate! Anna brings her wealth of real estate knowledge to the Ambassador team, as well as her warm smile and gracious personality! Here's a little more about Anna:
​
Hello, I am Anna Piche. I grew up in Sault Ste. Marie and work at Smith & Company Real Estate, as a Realtor, in the Eastern Upper Peninsula. As a dedicated and knowledgeable agent, I hold a degree in Marketing which has provided a strong foundation in market analysis, property trends, and client service. I enjoy being a Chamber Ambassador and staying active in our community.
I am proud parent of two adult children and a devoted grandparent to two (and one on the way) wonderful grandchildren. Family is at the heart of everything I do, and this personal connection to family life allows me to understand the importance of finding the perfect home for every stage of life. Whether helping a first-time homebuyer, seasoned investor, or families looking for their forever home, I bring a positive, solution-oriented approach to every transaction.
Outside of real estate, you will find me spending quality time with my family and enjoying everything the Upper Peninsula offers

I chose a career as a Farm Bureau Insurance agent because I care about the people in my community. I live and work in this area, so my service is always personal and always local. Because I care so much about protecting you and your family, I'll get to know you, your needs, and your dreams so that we can develop a personal insurance plan for you. Knowing you have the right insurance agent handling all your insurance needs is one of the most secure feelings you can have. My goal is to bring you peace of mind... and to help you and your family through the toughest times of your life.
