ANN NEWTON CANE Ann Newton Cane has real estate in her blood; she was raised on a large cattle ranch near Mt. Shasta. Over the past 5 years Ann has represented clients in more than $300 million in transactions, and she currently has on the market or in escrow properties worth an additional $75 million. She has been recognized as the top producer in Contra Costa County for Golden Gate Sotheby’s, and San Francisco magazine named Ann one of the top realtors in all of Northern California. Ann’s prior career in telecommunications amply prepared her for sophisticated transactions. After graduating from UC Davis, Ann joined the then-upstart MCI and earned every honor possible for managing the company’s global corporate accounts. Her work there, and later at Qwest Communications, produced sales that ran into the billions. Ann took a break from full-time work to raise her two children, who graduated from (and competed in swimming for) Dartmouth College. Ann’s volunteer work made her prominent in her community, and her high profile readily facilitated her transition in 2019 to her real estate career.
