Nicole Walker, Realtor – Director of Operations
Nicole Walker is a Florida native, hailing from Plant City, home of the world famous Strawberry Festival. In 2018 she decided the life she was living was not big enough for her, nor did she feel like she was in the place that God was calling her to be. Along with her beloved dog, Bella, Nicole moved to sunny St Pete and joined Keller Williams in May, putting herself on the path to realizing her dreams. In December 2018, Nicole accepted a position as the Director of Operations with The Crawford Team at Keller Williams St Pete Realty. This position was made for Nicole! Her expertise in marketing and system development as well as her attention to detail and organizational skills have already had a significant impact on the productivity and efficiency of The Crawford Team. Nicole’s natural ability to connect with people, her genuine concern and her incredible drive guarantee a long and prosperous future in real estate. As a licensed Realtor, Nicole is eager to help our clients achieve their real estate goals and she is equally committed to achieving her own; each day striving to be her best self. When she’s not managing The Crawford Team, you’ll find her enjoying all of St Pete’s best eateries, playing fetch with Bella at Fort Desoto Dog Beach or jogging through Vinoy Park.
Annie Kushner, Realtor
Annie Kushner ventured into real estate in 2016 when she made the move to sunny St. Pete from New York City. She brings with her a background in teaching and truly enjoys walking first-time home-buyers, sellers, and investors through their transactions by ensuring they understand every step of the process. Annie also brings to the team her experience as a real estate investor by playing an active role in remodeling 6-8 homes a year with her husband. When she is not hard at work, Annie loves spending time on the water or travelling home to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to spend time with her family.

Sierra Kluson, Realtor
Sierra Kluson is a world traveler and vegan foodie at heart, combining the two whenever possible!

With a passion for exploring the world, she still loves her Florida roots. Bradenton raised, and current St Pete resident, she strives to stay active within the local community. She believes part of the real estate buying experience is to learn about the local community and takes time to educate her clients on local places of interest.

Having a strong team is key which lead to the joining of The Crawford Team!
