About Me

A citizen of the world, I was born in South Africa and lived in Bermuda and England prior to moving to the US in 1983. After living in Los Angeles for a few years, I moved to New York in 1990. I have been working with Klara Madlin Real Estate since 1999, and in 2005 I became a partner and co-owner of the company. In 2012 I was awarded First prize in the prestigious REBNY Deal of the Year awards. This honor is awarded to the real estate brokers who close the most complicated deal of the year, and shows extraordinary ability and skill in overcoming seemingly overwhelming obstacles to close a deal.

I came to real estate from a decade long career in the entertainment industry where I held various executive marketing positions at Warner Home Video Inc., Atlantic Records and Interscope Records. My extensive experience marketing entertainment worldwide had prepared me very well for marketing and selling real estate in the cultural melting pot that is New York City.

I take great pride in my ability to deliver an accurate listing price and market analysis for each home. Selling a home is a collaborative effort between the home owner and their broker. I work diligently with each homeowner to create a customized, comprehensive, and effective marketing and advertising campaign for their home. I manage each phase of the sales process to ensure a seamless transaction for my clients and to achieve the highest market price.

I am one of a select group of Realtors® in Manhattan who has earned the professional “Accredited Buyer Representative” designation (ABR®). As such, I have a comprehensive understanding of buyer representation. I enjoy applying my knowledge and extensive experience to working with purchasers and welcome the challenge of finding their elusive “needle in a haystack”. Open communication is the key to a successful broker client relationship, and I listen very carefully my client’s wish list and only show them properties that fit their requirements and specifications. I follow the market closely and send my customers new listings to review as soon as they come on the market. This gives my buyers a competitive edge which is essential when looking for a home in New York City.

I am well experienced in marketing and selling residential real estate and know how to navigate my clients seamlessly through the complex and ever-changing Manhattan market. My goal is to make my client’s selling or buying experience as straightforward and as positive as possible. I am a loyal, honest, dependable and hard working broker who will handle your real estate business with the priority, discretion and dedication it deserves.

Call me today for a complimentary consultation on your real estate needs. I look forward to putting my experience to work for you!

Recommendation:  I’ve known Ann for years and have found her to be the best broker I have worked with. She knows the NYC real estate market extremely well and is very price conscious. More than that she is easy to get along with and does not try to “sell” anything. If you tell her what you want she will go find it for you and not try to push you into something she thinks you should live in. Ann has helped me find apartments to buy and to rent and also found tenants to live in an apartment I own but rent out. I have looked at hundreds of apartments with Ann over the years and she has always been very patient and professional. I would not work with any other broker and have recommended Ann to friends. They’ve all loved her. She manages to find great places that no one else has noticed and she is really helpful about answering emails and calls years later. She is my go-to person for all sorts of real estate-related advice.” Anya Stiglitz, NY, NY.
