Ann pioneered the REO sales industry, with the inception of Ann Ball Realtors and she quickly gained regional recognition as an REO expert. As the company enjoyed sustained growth, she continued to specialize in marketing and management of REO properties, resulting in the formation of Ball Asset Management in 1992. Her company's expertise was sought out by lenders and agents nationwide.

Ann Ball returned to her roots in Little Rock, AR and in 2003 she joined forces with Crye-Leike Realtors, one of the nation's largest privately held real estate brokerage in the nation, to establish Bankers Asset Management (BAM). Armed with a powerful partnership and years of unprecedented REO knowledge, Ann Ball has taken BAM to remarkable heights of success.
