About
As a 14th-generation Floridian with over 460 years of family history in this great state, I bring deep roots and a strong sense of community to everything I do. I was raised near Orlando, and my love for Florida’s coasts and the peace it brings is something I enjoy sharing with others. I’m also proud to come from a family with a long tradition of military service, giving me a personal understanding of the dedication and sacrifice required on all sides of that journey.
I’m a wife, a mother of five, and a passionate animal lover with several generations of rescue pets. Before becoming a loan officer in 2019, I worked professionally as both an interior designer and a court reporter—careers that have sharpened my attention to detail, enhanced my communication skills, and taught me the importance of listening to what truly matters to each client.
My mission is simple: to help you secure the keys to the home you’re dreaming of. I specialize in a wide range of lending solutions tailored for homebuyers and investors alike. Whether you’re navigating a recent bankruptcy, struggling with limited funds for closing, or exploring complex financing options, I’m here to guide you.
I offer access to:
Down payment assistance programs
HELOCs and closed-end second mortgages
DSCR loans
FHA, VA, and Conventional loan products
No matter what challenges you think might stand in your way, don’t assume the door is closed until we talk. Let’s chat and explore your options—I’m here to help you move confidently toward your next chapter.

About Anita McGillin
Extensive Experience, Local Expertise
Anita launched her career in 2014 in Upstate New York before making the City of Venice her home. Today, she serves as a dedicated guide for clients across Sarasota County—including Englewood, North Port, Osprey, and Nokomis—as well as the Fort Myers area. Her "inside-out" knowledge of Islandwalk at West Villages, where she previously served as a property management admin assistant, makes her an invaluable resource for understanding the unique nuances and amenities attached to HOA’s in the growing area.
A Legacy of Service & Trust
Coming from a proud Navy family, Anita holds a profound respect for those who serve our country. This personal history drives her to be a fierce advocate for Veterans, specializing in maximizing savings through specialized VA benefits.
Anita has built her reputation on "Trust," offering a compassionate and steady hand to those navigating life’s major transitions—whether it's helping a first-time buyer find their "piece of paradise" or supporting a seller in saying goodbye to a longtime family home.
The Weichert Advantage
By joining the Hallmark Properties team, Anita leverages the collective strength and collaborative culture of our Sarasota office. Her clients benefit from a meticulous attention to detail and the gold-standard service that defines the Weichert brand.
Beyond the Market
When she isn’t analyzing market trends or scouting neighborhoods on her E-bike, Anita enjoys the coastal lifestyle of Venice. On her weekends off from hosting open houses and accommodating customers you can find her hitting the road in her RV, caring for her three rescue animals, enjoying a local game of Bingo or taking a yoga class!
