Annette Akers

Annette brings more than thirty years of advertising and sales experience to every transaction. Her combination of hyper-local market knowledge and negotiating expertise gives her buyers and sellers confidence that their decisions are informed and that they are being put in the best position to succeed. Think of her as a “friendly shark” – competitive where it matters, yet down to earth and approachable.

Before transitioning to real estate, Annette created high-impact ads and developed marketing strategies for small business owners looking to increase sales. She then spent two decades in the dynamic and competitive medical device industry – working with physicians and medical staff to provide high-quality patient care. Her success in both fields depended on her ability to listen to client needs, think on her feet, and deliver tangible results, and she bring those same attributes to her clients today.

Whether you are a first-time buyer, a seller putting your 30-year home on the market, or an investor looking to achieve a specific ROI, Annette will take as much time as you need to become familiar with the real estate process and be available to you for all your questions and concerns. She lives and specializes in the Upper West Side, but has also done many deals in Chelsea, the West Village, and Hell’s Kitchen.

Annette is incredibly resourceful and have fostered a sizable online presence with her creative marketing and video series, WestSide Wednesdays, and Facebook Group Tasty Takeout. When she is not closing a deal, Annette enjoys exploring New York and taking care of her rescue cat, Frankie. Annette also enjoys reading, discovering new restaurants, and traveling.
