Business Directory

Anthony Chara is a seasoned Real Estate investor that has investing and property management experience dating back to 1993. After 16 years working for a fortune 500 company and traveling extensively it was time for a change.  Mr. Chara gave up his lucrative Area Manager position in which he managed 35 electronic technicians in 7 states and a $3M budget so he could spend less time traveling and more time creating wealth for his family. He turned to full time Real Estate investing around 2004. He has also started several service and/or education oriented companies.

Presently, he's managing member of Apartment Mentors and founder of Success Classes. He has owned or managed several successful companies during the last 20+ years. Mr. Chara owns or has owned properties in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Belize and Paraguay.

He has taught several thousand aspiring RE investors. Mr. Chara also volunteers and supports several worthy charities such as the American Red Cross, Denver Rescue Mission, Habitat for Humanity, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and the Wounded Warrior Project.

Mr. Chara turned to Apartments full time in 2004. He’s owned, partnered and/or has syndicated over 2000 apartment units around the country since that time. These units range from 31 units in 1 complex in Pennsylvania to 410 units in 4 complexes in Indianapolis. His partnerships include a 100 unit complex in Longview, TX, a 31 unit complex in Pottstown, PA, a 100 unit complex in Macon, GA, a 48 unit property in Lebanon, OH, a 60 unit complex in Burlington, IA, 9 units in a Hilton Hotel complex in Belize and Green Houses & Orange Grove lots in Paraguay.

In 2006, Mr. Chara decided to capitalize on recent RE market trends to offer superior technical training to RE Investors specifically targeting commercial investing with an emphasis on Apartment complexes. Mr. Chara’s techniques teach people how to analyze properties to see if the Buyer can increase cash flow and value for themselves and their investors.

Having reviewed several other gurus in the marketplace that specializes in Apartments, he set out to design and implement the best quality Apartment Investing training class in the market today. He taught his first class in September 2006, and he believes very strongly, based on the testimonials that he’s received, that he has achieved this goal.

What Sets Me Apart

My business, Ann Tristani Design LLC, draws upon my previous experience as a professional fine artist, speaking the language of design: proportion, scale, color, balance, emphasis, line, texture, value, repetition, and space. 

All of these elements matter, whether applied to canvas or to your home.  My life long pursuit of creating beauty gives me the tools to help you attain a home that feels right, reflects who you are, and has a soul. 

My interior design knowledge of and access to unique products and materials provides me with endless possibilities to bring fresh, contemporary and cohesive design ideas to your home.  

My goal as your designer is to hear your vision, understand your needs, and then gently and confidently lead you to design solutions, space planning, and materials selections which create a home that reflects your unique personality and enhances the joy, peace, comfort, and quality of your life.

So what does an Interior Designer do?

Ann Tristani Design LLC listens, envisions, plans, and outfits your space, considering both beauty and function in your interior design and creates for you a Design Presentation that thoughtfully responds to the needs of your unique space. Once you select the items or finishes you wish to move forward with, your designer will handle all the details of procuring your selections.  From concept to installation, Ann Tristani Design LLC is with you every step of the way.

A Designer considers...

Aesthetic details of your project, as well as space planning, traffic flow, and functionality, are all considered together to create a space that reflects your lifestyle and personality, and also complements the architectural features of your space.

Besides honoring your project with honesty, hard work, integrity, and transparency, Ann Tristani Design LLC has developed relationships with trusted contractors, artisans, vendors and others who can help execute your design with expertise.

The eye of an Artist...

A trained eye creates designs that are visually cohesive, while a creative mindset allows for solutions you might never have imagined.  Ann's experience as a professional artist along with her innate understanding of interior design will transform your home into a haven that looks polished, pulled together, and unique.... a place that feels good...a space you can be proud of.

When done just right...

...your space becomes a reflection of you... a home with a soul.  The art you display...the book titles on your coffee table...the accent pillows on your sofa...those funky accent chairs you splurged on. All together these home decor elements create something fresh and unique.  A place that brings you comfort, a place to call home.

What do you want your home to say about you?...

Let me inspire you and lead you through a home or commercial update that is a breath of fresh air in your life! I would love to meet with you for an Interior Design or Home Staging Consultation.
