About Anita Anita was raised in Tuskegee, Alabama with two siblings. Her father was a professor of Food Science at the nearby college and her mother was a seamstress and secretary at the campus bookstore. The family had also had a working farm of animals and gardens. Everyone had chores to do and higher education was stressed in the family. Anita was taught at a young age that if you want something in life, you must work for it. So that’s what she did. As a child, she aspired of being an Architect. Never in a million years did she think she’d stumble into the real estate industry, but you can’t always predict where or when you’ll discover what you’re meant to do in life. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Sciences and a Master's degree in Architecture, Anita worked her way from being a survey crew member in the foothills of San Bernardino, California mountains with the National Forest Service, to working with the National Park Service in Denver as a design and a historical architect. During her time at the National Park Service, she worked on prominent buildings like Dr. Martin Luther King's birth home in Atlanta, GA, Booker T. Washington’s home in Tuskegee, AL and designed several buildings across the nation in our national parks. Never wavering in her resolve to become the best version of herself with each career move. When Anita started in real estate years over 25 years ago, the business was quite different. A lot has changed with contracts, how business is conducted and, how the public receives information. However, there is one thing she noticed had not changed. People still need a place to live! People will always need shelter; this is a part of the reason why Anita ventured into real estate sales.
