About Kia-Tishayn

I’m Coach Kia—a REALTOR®, coach, and community advocate creating safe, affirming spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals and families navigating homeownership and life transitions.

I understand that buying or selling a home isn’t just about property—it’s about belonging, safety, and being respected. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, relocating, or rebuilding after change, you deserve representation that’s honest, affirming, and protective.

With a background in real estate, leadership, and community work, I bring straight talk, strong advocacy, and heart to every transaction. I educate clearly, negotiate confidently, and make sure my clients feel supported from start to finish.

What I stand on:

???? Inclusive homeownership

???? LGBTQ+-affirming representation

???? Community-centered growth

???? Coaching rooted in identity and lived experience

Beyond real estate, I serve on committees with the Durham Regional Association of REALTORS® (DEI, Public Schools, and Community Service) and work alongside organizations like the Bragtown Community Association, Ummis Ummah, and One Community One Voice One Vision to advance affordable housing, community voice, health advocacy, and economic empowerment.

You don’t have to explain who you are here. You get to show up fully—I’ll handle the rest.
