Your home is your sanctuary… your calm in the storm.
To find just the right home for your lifestyle is essential. Finding the right real estate professional to assist you in this quest for your dream home is equally important. Whether you are a Buyer or a Seller ready to make a move, my affiliation with Fridrich & Clark Realty assures you that your customer experience will be both professional and rewarding. My career has transitioned from being a professional interior designer to real estate as a natural progression. My love of people and places in Middle Tennessee has inspired me to pursue people’s dreams with them as they sell and acquire property.
Nashville is a vibrant city! Being a native Nashvillian, I have witnessed the growth and experienced the stability of our community. It would be my pleasure to assist you with your real estate needs and your dreams!
Work Experience
In 1980 I founded a Commercial Interior Design and Furniture Business with three partners. We became one of the Largest Steelcase Dealers in the Southeast, and branched into the Tampa market in the 1990’s. We employed over one hundred people in Design, Furniture Sales Accounting and Warehouse. My job as Vice President involved marketing design services, negotiating contracts for design and furniture and being on the management team of the Company. When I sold my interest in 2005, I stepped back and took some family time.
I have been an affiliate broker with Fridrich & Clark Realty since 2009, and use my skills in sales and marketing and project management daily. I am detail oriented and sales focused, which has been very beneficial in Real Estate.
Family and Personal Interests
My family includes my husband, Don, my daughter, Eva and her husband, Chris and my two grandchildren, Sophie and Margaux. We take beach trips together and enjoy all the tennis matches, dance and singing recitals, and band concerts the girls are in.
Oil painting and drawing are my favorite pastimes. Working with paint to capture landscape and flowers is so relaxing. Travel has always been another passion for me and my family. We have visited several European destinations in addition to Israel and Argentina. I belong to Sister Cities of Nashville as a connection to learn about different cultures.
Philanthropy
Nashville is such a generous community. When I was in the design and furniture business, I contributed design time and furnishings to several facilities. Among those were the original Ronald McDonald House, Second Harvest Food Bank, and YWCA Domestic Violence Shelter. I continue to support these vital organizations. More recently, I have contributed to the Fridrich & Clark Agents’ Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, Monroe Carrell Children’s Hospital, Burro Bag food ministry to students, and Samaritan’s Purse.

Client Reviews
“My husband and I are so grateful to have Anita as our realtor. We have gone through the home selling/buying process multiple times now with her. She is an ally, and advisor through every stage. She is unfailingly responsive, patient, and kind. I would recommend her to anyone!”
– Angie and Tony Weeks
“Anita Baltimore handled the recent sale of my property in Nashville, and I’m writing to express my appreciation for her proactivity and professionalism throughout the process – a process made more complicated and onerous for her as I live overseas. Anita made everything very easy for me; she clearly understands all the requirements of US and Tennessee (and Nashville) property laws, which are a total mystery to me, and was particularly helpful in arranging repairs, cleaning, etc. so the house presented at its very best. I’ve worked with several realtors at various times in my life, but no one in whom I have more confidence than Anita – I knew she was working to get the best possible price she could and was always realistic and reassuring throughout the process. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
– Pat Duffy
“Anita is incredible to work with! As a first time buyer I didn’t know what to expect and she held my hand throughout the whole process and made it as seamless as possible. She truly listened to what I wanted and helped find a house that completely exceeded my expectations. She is also a true Nashville native and so knowledgeable about the area! I love my house and can’t thank Anita enough for being an incredible partner throughout the process.”
– Katie Zigelman
“It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Anita on our real estate ventures. Anita has an outstanding track record in the Nashville area for professionalism, experience and effectiveness. She first represented us as our relocation & rental agent and a few years later as the Buying Agent for the same house. As a first home buyer in the United States Anita made the entire process from our first meeting to our final transaction seamless. We could reach out to Anita anytime and she kept us informed of every critical detail in a prompt and courteous manner. Furthermore, she was simply outstanding in the negotiating process to help us get the best value. Anita truly went above and beyond – her experience, knowledge and connections on all things Nashville gave us so much comfort and all the “additional advice” and support provided to my family was priceless.”
– Simone & Nathan Hayes
