Bio
Debra Stracke Anderson is president of Sloan Street Advisors, Inc., a commercial real estate firm based in the Washington, D.C. area. The company has served as tenant representative and site selection advisor for a clientele ranging from entrepreneurial and governmental entities to Fortune 500 companies in D.C. and across the country. The firm was selected in 2003 as the Washington, D.C. affiliate for ITRA Global, an organization that focuses exclusively on representation for corporate tenants and occupiers around the world.
Ms. Anderson founded the company in 2000, following years as an executive with major commercial real estate organizations. Her previous roles included Mid-Atlantic Regional Vice President of Leasing and Marketing for COMPASS Management and Leasing (subsidiary of Equitable Real Estate) and Regional Managing Director of Asset Services for Insignia/ESG. She led teams in winning such awards as “Top National Leasing Team” and in achieving 95% portfolio occupancy during a significant market downturn. Ms. Anderson’s many previous years of experience representing building owners on the other side of the table has afforded her clients a significant advantage during negotiations for office and industrial facilities.
Ms. Anderson is a member of the Society of Industrial and Office Real Estate (SIOR) and earned the SIOR designation, based on business volume. She is also a Certified Commercial Investment Member of the CCIM Institute, where she earned the CCIM designation, denoting a graduate level education in commercial real estate investment. She was named one of seven professionals chosen for “Women of Influence – Standouts” in 2019 by ALM’s Real Estate Forum, the leading publication of the commercial real estate industry, after having been inducted into the publication’s “Hall of Fame” in 2018. She was selected by the Washington Business Journal and the Mid-Atlantic Real Estate Journal as one of the “Best of 2015” and “Best of 2010” in the category of largest office lease transactions and was also chosen a “Virginia Woman of Influence” by Virginia Lawyers Media, which annually recognizes the outstanding efforts of women in all fields, including law, business and education.
Following several years as a member of the ITRA Global Board of Directors, Ms. Anderson most recently served as Chairman Emeritus. Her previous service included four terms as the first woman Chairman, during which she led the organization through unprecedented international expansion and received the Exemplary Service Award. She received the “Ronald R. Pollina PhD Diamond Leadership Award” conveyed by ITRA Global to recognize outstanding leadership, mentorship and contributions to the organization. Most recently, she received the first-ever ITRA Global "Lifetime Achievement Award". She has also served on the board for organizations that work to improve the lives of at-risk children and is a proud Air Force brat.
