Anita Hartog’s philanthropic endeavors have taken her far from her home in Montebello, California, but her passion for serving others travels everywhere she does, endlessly inspiring her to better her community in any way she can.Somewhere along her journey from stay-at-home mom to small business owner, Anita found herself drawn to the world of real estate. However, it wasn’t until returning from her second volunteer trip to the Dominican Republic that she would connect and begin working with her mentor, a seasoned commercial agent, through his foundation. Under his guidance, she was soon negotiating multi-million dollar deals as a licensed agent and certified foreclosure short sale specialist.Whether she’s using her knowledge as an experienced realtor to assist her clients in finding their dream homes and perfect investment properties or spending time with her son and grandchild, there’s nothing Anita holds closer to her heart than family.After tragically losing her nephew, George, to suicide in 2017, Anita and her family came together to form Team G Cal. Through their efforts and yearly participation in the Out of the Darkness Walk, they have raised over $95,000 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, aiding in their mission to deliver the mental health resources needed to save other lives and provide hope for those affected by suicide.In addition to her work with AFSP, Anita is constantly working towards her achieving her biggest dream:To purchase a property of her own, where she will build and operate a ranch for underprivileged children so they may experience the simple joys of childhood outside the city, including learning about farming, riding horses, and enjoying carefree days spent running barefoot in the grass.From diligently helping investors navigate turbulent markets to discovering ways to leave our world a better place, Anita approaches each new project with open arms, ready to pour her heart into facilitating success.
