Ann Biester Deane brings the precision of a high-performance driving instructor and the strategic thinking of a Wharton MBA graduate to Manhattan real estate. A licensed Negotiation Expert and Accredited Buyers Representative, she has built a reputation for closing complex deals across Carnegie Hill, the Upper West Side, Greenwich Village, Midtown East, Chelsea, and Tribeca. Clients describe her as a "ninja" in negotiations—someone who asks the right questions, identifies what matters most, and communicates with clarity and speed. Her deals dont just close; they stick.

Anns approach to buyer representation is methodical and comprehensive. She maps out a detailed game plan from the first showing through board approval, assembling board packages that are clear, thorough, and designed to win. Her approval rate reflects that attention to detail. She works closely with mortgage professionals to keep financing on track and connects clients with trusted attorneys, contractors, and other specialists as needed. Even after closing, she remains a resource—helping clients navigate homeownership, building policies, and the occasional unexpected repair.

Extremely analytical, Ann has her finger on the pulse of the market and sellers appreciate her vast knowledge and effective pricing. She works with stagers who are experts in their field to showcase the home in its best light and attract buyers in the right demographics. Ann has completed over 20 end to end renovations giving her practical knowledge of what can and cannot be accomplished and their associated costs.

A recent member of the Society of Senior Advisors, Ann earned her Certificate of Senior Advisor (CSA,) and assists older adults whether they are downsizing or transitioning to Assisted Living by being the 3rd piece of the puzzle, which is the selling of their long-time homes.

A Carnegie Hill resident for more than 30 years and a co-op board member, Ann understands the approval process from both sides of the table. She raised three children in Manhattan, navigating the citys school systems and the logistics of urban family life. That lived experience informs her work with buyers and sellers at every stage. She is a member of the Directors Guild of America, Producers Guild of America, and Porsche Club of America, where she also serves as a Nationally Certified High Performance Driving Instructor.

Whether working with first-time buyers, seasoned investors, or families looking to expand, she brings focus, flexibility, and a commitment to getting her clients across the finish line.
