DOUGLAS DITTMANN – VICE PRESIDENT, REALTOR®
In Memoriam of Douglas Dittmann (an Army Vietnam Veteran). Douglas Dittmann, who was also Erica’s father, became a Florida licensed real estate agent in 1982. In 2015, he obtained his real estate license in North Carolina and officially joined Team Anderson Realty as a Home Buyer and Listing Specialist.
His background made him an exciting addition for Team Anderson Realty and an integral part of developing the Firm!
When Douglas first became licensed in 1982, he joined a Century 21 firm in Boca Raton, Florida. He chose to specialize in luxury home sales in Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, The Bahamas and surrounding areas and quickly grew to one of the top agents at every firm in which he worked. He eventually started his own firm, Première Properties. He has a great deal of experience buying and selling commercial real estate and investment properties. His largest sale was a land transaction at $18,000,000. His luxury home and commercial sales experience sets him apart from the average real estate agent. He has a background in interior design and staging which has proven to be an invaluable asset for Team Anderson Realty’s listings. He is professional, efficient and honest with a background in real estate that has been through two housing bubbles (and bursts) without having to leave the business of which he is truly passionate.
He will be missed, but his legacy lives on through his daughter Erica Anderson, the Firm owner.
