About Tia Hughes

Tia began her real estate journey as an investor, and her enthusiasm hasn’t waned since. She purchased and managed rental properties soon after graduating from college.

Tax Accounting

Tia’s professional background includes Tax Accounting and Marketing. Her growing interest as an investor led her to a position as a Project Manager for a real estate company that sponsored Tenant-in-Common investments. There, she also did Asset and Property Management, as well as Acquisitions and Dispositions for the company’s portfolio. Tia’s tax accounting background served her well with a strong foundation in financial analysis—an important ingredient for real estate transactions.

Segue to Residential Real Estate

Tia’s residential real estate career began in 2010 at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, where she built a foundation of strong relationships with clients and the realtor community. Tia was recognized as a member of the Coldwell Banker International Sterling Society for “outstanding performance”.

Tia then moved to Rodeo Realty, where she displayed an excellent platform for serving her clients. She was admitted to Rodeo Realty’s Executive Club for her achievements. Tia later transitioned to Compass where she helped sellers reach their end goal, and guided buyers through their real estate transactions. She believes that matching buyers and sellers creates a win-win scenario for all. Tia has since come full circle back to Coldwell Banker where it all began.

New Investment Avenues

Currently, Tia also works in Investment Real Estate, where she specializes in Multi-Family Sales. Business-centered in customer service and client satisfaction, she believes that anything is possible with motivation and hard work. Qualified and adept to represent the most astute seller, yet gentle and patient enough help a first-time buyer, Tia remains eager to earn your business with dedication, integrity and communication.
