About Me

Thank you for visiting my page. I’m Anita Carr, and I’m excited to introduce myself. With over two decades of real estate experience since becoming licensed in 2000, I bring a wealth of knowledge to every transaction. My real estate sales history is diverse, ranging from multi-million-dollar homes to apartments. This diverse background—including my career as a registered nurse—gives me a unique ability to handle a wide range of situations with empathy, attention to detail, and a strong problem-solving mindset.

I was raised in a military family, where my father’s journey from sailor to Chief Petty Officer deeply shaped my values. He taught me the importance of honor, integrity, hard work, and financial discipline. At the age of 19, I made my first real estate purchase using savings earned from odd jobs I’d done since I was 12. I understood early on that homeownership is a powerful way to build long-term wealth.

Over the years, my dream of raising a large family has come true, and I’m proud to be the mother of four bright children. Another source of pride is seeing my two youngest children graduate from college debt-free—an achievement that reflects my commitment to perseverance.

My nursing career focused on consumer advocacy, which has translated seamlessly into my real estate business practice. After retiring from nursing in 2022, in a matter of months, I reflected on the fulfillment I’d always found in helping people, which led me to return to real estate—a field that brings me joy and allows me to continue making a positive impact.

While searching for my own home to purchase in Spokane, I had the pleasure of meeting with several local real estate agents. One broker, in particular, stood out for her professionalism, ethics, and kindness: Kari Hayes with John L. Scott. Kari's integrity and commitment to her clients resonated deeply with me, and I knew right away that I wanted to align myself with a firm that shares those same values. I am proud to be part of the John L. Scott team, where agents live by the principle of "living life as a contribution."

Today, I’m settled in my vintage home near Cannon Park, enjoying all the wonderful things Spokane has to offer.

If you’d like to learn more about my "You-Focused" approach to real estate, please take a look at the testimonials from my past clients. I would be honored to earn your trust and help you with your real estate needs.

As a John L. Scott broker, my mission is transactional excellence and client satisfaction. That means I work tirelessly to make your home buying or selling process as efficient, stress-free and lucrative for you as possible.

Representation

I take pride in offering high-caliber full-service residential real estate expertise. My clients are my top priority, and I focus on delivering the best possible results for them.

Expertise

The real estate market is hyperlocal, seasonal and temperamental—in other words, it can change on a dime. Technology has made information more accessible to everyone, but it can be difficult to keep up with recent events that affect home values. The benefits of working with a licensed real estate professional go far beyond what a mobile app, online video, or website can do.

I provide my clients with information on market seasonality and information relevant to what is happening in their specific neighborhood. This customized analysis includes recent comparable sales that factor into an offer and acceptance strategy.

Negotiations

Successful negotiations help move a conversation forward and transform the process into an agreement that’s a win for all parties. Negotiation is not only a skill, but a mindset. I keep my clients’ best interests top of mind as I negotiate on their behalf. 

Transactional Excellence

I am dedicated to transactional excellence for every listing and sale. What this means for you is that I oversee every detail of the real estate transaction. The transaction is far from over once an offer has been accepted. I monitor inspections, appraisals, title, escrow and loan processes. Communication and collaboration with all the partners and parties involved with the transaction ensures a smooth and timely closing. I am committed to my clients before, during and after a sale.
