Anita Thomas Gershen
Associate Broker/Sales Person
Associate Broker/Sales Person | Armes Real Estate & Land Company, Inc.
A pillar of West Virginia real estate, Anita Thomas Gershen brings over four decades of trusted experience, market knowledge, and unwavering client commitment to Armes Real Estate & Land Company, Inc. As an Associate Broker, Anita’s leadership and expertise are instrumental in mentoring new agents and delivering exceptional service across both residential and commercial sectors.
A lifelong Beckley native, Anita began her professional journey in payroll and administrative work, where she mastered the art of organization and client service while working with key-punch systems and early accounting technologies. But it was in 1984—when she became a licensed REALTOR®—that Anita discovered her true calling. Her passion for helping individuals and families realize the dream of homeownership quickly grew into a career defined by integrity, excellence, and results.
Over the years, Anita has successfully closed hundreds of transactions, from first-time homebuyers to commercial investors, and earned numerous sales awards recognizing her outstanding performance. She is also the former owner and Principal Broker of Lighthouse Realty, Inc., where she led a respected team before joining Armes Real Estate & Land Company, Inc. to continue doing what she loves—serving her community with professionalism and heart.
Anita is deeply committed to professional growth. She holds multiple designations that set her apart:
• GRI – Graduate of the Real Estate Institute
• CRS – Certified Residential Specialist
• ABR – Accredited Buyer Representative
She is also a proud member of the Beckley Board of REALTORS®, where she has served as Treasurer and volunteered on numerous committees throughout the years.
Outside of her career, Anita is devoted to her family. She and her husband, Mark Gershen, share a beautiful life together with their daughter, Lisa, son-in-law Andy, and grandson Andrew, all residing in Mebane, North Carolina. Their beloved Shih-Poo, Bentley, rounds out the family.
Whether she’s guiding clients through one of life’s biggest decisions or hiking the scenic trails of West Virginia, Anita does everything with heart, purpose, and unmatched experience. Her love for gardening, interior decorating, and exploring the Mountain State’s natural beauty reflects the same care she brings to her work.
Anita Thomas Gershen is more than a REALTOR®—she’s a trusted advisor, industry leader, and community advocate ready to help you achieve your real estate goals.
