Homes-By-Holmes Real Estate

Where Experience, Integrity, and Homeownership Come Together

Meet Tanisha Holmes — Broker, General Contractor & HGTV House Hunters Featured Real Estate Agent

With over 25 years of real estate experience, Tanisha Holmes is more than a real estate broker. She is a business owner, licensed general contractor, entrepreneur, and passionate advocate for affordable homeownership.

As the founder of Homes-By-Holmes Real Estate, Tanisha has dedicated her career to helping individuals and families turn their dreams of homeownership into reality. Licensed in both North Carolina and Virginia, she brings decades of industry knowledge, hands-on experience, and a personal commitment to every transaction.

Having helped clients buy and sell more than 1,000 homes throughout the region, Tanisha understands that every buyer has a different story, financial situation, and vision for the future.

Helping Buyers Find Their Way Home

At Homes-By-Holmes Real Estate, we believe homeownership should not be reserved for a select few. Whether you're purchasing your first home, relocating, investing, or rebuilding your financial future, our mission is to help you explore the opportunities available to you.

Our specialties include:

• First-Time Homebuyers and Down Payment Assistance

• VA Loans and Military Relocation

• USDA Rural Housing Opportunities

• FHA and Conventional Financing

• Buyers in Active Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

• New Construction and Custom Homes

• Foreclosures, REO Properties, and Investment Opportunities

• Residential Home Sales and Relocation Services

We don't judge buyers by their credit scores, income, appearance, or circumstances. We believe everyone deserves to be heard, respected, and given an opportunity to explore homeownership.

From Real Estate to Building Homes

Tanisha's passion for housing extends beyond buying and selling properties. As a licensed general contractor and founder of SheBuilds Holmes, she also works in residential construction, renovations, additions, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), tiny homes, and custom homebuilding.

Her unique combination of real estate and construction experience gives clients valuable insight into purchasing, improving, and building homes.

Featured on HGTV's House Hunters

Tanisha's dedication to real estate has also brought her to television.

She is a featured real estate agent on HGTV's House Hunters, appearing in the episode Too Many Cooks, scheduled to air October 23, 2026, at 10:30 PM Eastern / 9:30 PM Central.

She is also recognized as an October 2026 House Hunters Newsletter Spotlight Agent, highlighting another exciting milestone in her professional journey.
