President/Broker
Email Address olivier@anchorfl.com
Olivier Monod visited the "Forgotten Coast" for the first time in 1981 and relocated permanently in 1988, joining Anchor as a real estate sales associate. He became Anchor Realty & Mortgage Co.’s broker and president in June 1990, overseeing three real estate associates and one employee in the single office on St. George Island.
Through Olivier’s vision and under his leadership, Anchor has grown to multiple offices, located along 85 miles of the "Forgotten Coast" and north to Tallahassee. With up to 80 real estate associates at the peak of the real estate boom. Anchor Realty & Mortgage Company posted sales of $235,932,037 in 2004.
In 2001, Olivier earned his designation as Commercial Real Estate specialist: CCIM (see ccim.com)
The drastic downturn in the Forgotten Coast real estate sales has forced the company to adapt in downsizing. We went from eleven to three offices. Many Realtors had to find other jobs and eventually left the profession. We are left with a small core of experienced veterans, whose loyalty for the company is only matched by their in-depth understanding of the market.
Olivier and his team have developed or sold many planned communities, including Gramercy Plantation, a 400-acre, low density, private community, with retail and residential areas in a high-end low density planned neighborhood. Gramercy Plantation was executed carefully to preserve the character and spirit of the area through dedicating substantial acreage to conservation and common grounds. The 110 home sites are scattered on minimum one-acre sites throughout the development.
Olivier, who grew up in Paris, first visited the U.S. in 1975 on a high school graduation trip; he fell in love with the country after touring from New York to San Francisco on a Greyhound bus. He subsequently moved to Florida and became a U.S. citizen.
A community leader, Olivier shows a keen interest in education and culture for our children through sponsorship of the ABC school (his two children and two step-children attend this local public school), and classical music programs for high-schoolers. Olivier and his family make their home in historic Apalachicola, in the Forgotten Coast.

David's familiarity with the "Forgotten Coast" dates back to 1968, the year he first moved to Tallahassee after graduation from the University of Georgia. Having grown up a block from the beach in Gulfport, MS, he was naturally drawn to the fishing and boating opportunities offered in this area. Constant visitors over the years, he and wife Nancy, finally purchased a home in the Lanark area in 1999. Although he received his real estate license in the late seventies, he enjoyed a 35-year career as a landscape architect and environmental scientist with the State of Florida. He is a licensed charter boat captain and has now been active in real estate since the Spring of 2005. Give him a call.
