Tia Glover, known as one of the newer personalities on *The Real Housewives of Potomac*, has pivoted from image consulting to real estate, building her business steadily over the past three years. Despite the visibility from her television presence, Glover emphasizes that success in real estate requires diligent effort beyond the attention the show brings. She views her platform as a tool to direct attention to her business rather than an automatic source of deals.

Glover’s real estate passion has roots in her family background, with her father investing in properties globally. After moving to Washington, D.C., and deciding it was her permanent home, she pursued her real estate license, initially in Virginia, then D.C., and plans to add Maryland soon. She parallels her previous profession in image consulting with real estate by focusing on services that significantly transform clients’ lives. Helping clients make wise investment decisions remains central to her approach.

Working with Sotheby’s International Realty, Glover operates primarily in the DMV area, home to affluent Black communities. She handles a range of clients from first-time buyers to multimillion-dollar homeowners. Glover prioritizes long-term relationships, understanding that a home purchase is often a significant, sometimes lifelong commitment for her clients. She acknowledges the competitive industry requires agents to identify what sets them apart and focuses on personal differentiation first, with her identity as a Black woman and foreigner following.

Visibility from being on *The Real Housewives* has introduced new challenges for Glover, including managing inquiries from non-serious buyers and adjusting how she conducts business, often bringing someone along to property showings for safety. Despite the nervousness these changes sometimes bring, Glover is committed to growing her real estate venture by working deliberately and authentically with each client she serves.
