Anna Anderson celebrates a Brooklyn real estate career spanning four decades, almost as long as her fifty years as citizen of Brooklyn, her entire adulthood, having moved to Park Slope right after graduation from Beloit College, finding her first apartment on Berkeley Place back in the day as she began work at Charles Scribner’s Sons, a book publisher, in the heyday when literacy was a virtue.

She was at home on Berkeley Place as new shops and restaurants popped up…she was an early member of the Park Slope Food Co-op and continues today! You might recognize her from the Co-op or from a pool in Brooklyn where she swims. In 1987 her career careened from publishing to real estate sales: two of her first brownstone sales were 339 Quincy Street and 616 Madison Street. Bedford-Stuyvesant was on her radar before it was cool. When it was time to raise a family she lived in her own brownstone on First Street with son and husband.

Her long and varied career in local real estate culminated as a partner of Orrichio-Anderson Realty from 1998 until 2012 when she joined Brooklyn Properties, where she continues to make local real estate history.
