Broker-Owner Tisha Janigian delivers strategy-first, people-centered representation for buyers, sellers, and investors across California and beyond—precise pricing, clean and competitive offers, steady communication, and calm, skilled negotiation throughout the transaction and beyond. She began her real estate career in 2015, after years of experience with sales and negotiation. 

Founded in 2019 after years with leading brokerages, SHE IS HOPE Realty was built to provide personalized, superior service while giving back to the community. The firm specializes in residential and luxury sales, investment properties, residential & commercial property management and leasing, vacation rentals, and civilian/military relocations, as well as complex transactions including probate and short sales.
Tisha and her team align budgets with real comps and identify strategies tailored to each client’s goals—timing, offer structure, the right financing, and value-add improvements—so clients can maximize results with confidence. A vetted network of lenders, inspectors, insurance pros, contractors, and escrow keeps every step smooth; when a rental component is part of the plan, the team continues support with property management and leasing. She also assists clients who are relocating or investing out of area.

Guided by her personal story and the values her parents modeled—integrity, compassion, and community—Tisha founded SHE IS HOPE Realty and the nonprofit SHE IS HOPE LA. At closing, SHE IS HOPE Realty allocates a portion of both brokerage and agent commissions to SHE IS HOPE LA to educate and empower single mothers returning to the workforce—so your purchase or sale delivers community impact without compromising results. Tisha also supports Komitas Wings of Hope, aiding families and villages locally and abroad. During the 2025 Southern California wildfires, she and her team assisted displaced families with housing placement and essential resources, and she was recognized by the National Association of REALTORS® among the top LA Wildfire Responders.

Tisha personally mentors her team and recruits agents committed to integrity, service, and impact, with a vision to expand SHE IS HOPE’s footprint into major U.S. cities and internationally.

A Boston-area native and Babson College alum, Tisha relocated to Los Angeles in 2012 with her two sons, Nicholas and Alexander, to start anew after divorce. That lived experience informs a practice clients describe as warm, candid, informed, and prepared—numbers-forward, people-centered, and unshakably calm under pressure.

I left the corporate world to pursue My dream of becoming a realtor. With a long-time fascination about Real Estate, I studied and cultivated a rich understanding of the Real Estate market. I have also developed a deep respect for the history and memories which rest in each home.

I moved with my husband and son to the San Fernando Valley over fifteen years ago and have become active within my community, acquiring knowledge of the local private and public schools, new developments and local Faith communities.

    Whether guiding first-time buyers, helping families find their dream homes, or supporting clients through major life transitions, I believe real estate is about more than a property - it’s about people, purpose, and creating a lasting impact. My goal is to provide exceptional service, build meaningful relationships, and help others achieve their goals while making a difference - one home at a time.
