Award-winning broker Tina Holt appointed SVP and Regional Manager

Long & Foster Real Estate is growing its presence in the Hampton Roads and Northeast North Carolina markets and has named a new Senior Vice President and Regional Manager to lead the company in these efforts. Tina Holt, a real estate broker with over two decades of experience, has been promoted to the executive leadership position with the company, effective this month.

“Helping people reach their highest potential is my passion in life, and my new role at Long & Foster Real Estate presents me with limitless opportunities to do just that,” said Holt. “I’m excited to guide our new and experienced Realtors to their greatest abilities, while also positioning our company for even greater successes on the Virginia and North Carolina coast.”

A native of the Hampton Roads region, Holt brings expansive knowledge of the local marketplace and its area buyers, sellers and renters. She grew up in the Hampton Roads area and lived in northeastern North Carolina for about 15 years before returning to her Hampton Roads roots in 2020. In addition, Holt has an impressive real estate sales and leadership background, having worked in the industry through economic ups and downs, always keeping her teams motivated and on track, no matter the market conditions.

In her new role, Holt will oversee operations and business strategy, ensuring Long & Foster best supports local agents, as well as area buyers, sellers, investors and renters. She also will continue to lead Long & Foster’s Oceanfront and Kitty Hawk offices, as well as the associated agent-led offices, while taking on these new responsibilities for the broader regions.

Outside of her day-to-day responsibilities at Long & Foster, Holt is active in local Hampton Roads Real Association. Currently, she is vice chair of HRRA’s Owner/Manager Council and is part of its Professional Standards Committee. During her career, she has also volunteered with other area Realtor associations and wrote an inspirational self-help book, “Green Bananas,” which is an Amazon best-seller.

Holt is known amongst her colleagues for her approachable nature, problem-solving skills and transparency—values that have enabled her to succeed in her own career. Additionally, as a certified life and leadership coach, under the John Maxwell program, she brings an unending commitment to serving those on her team, as well as a continual focus on improving her own leadership and business skills. Holt, who is also a professional speaker, regularly shares these insights at keynote addresses.

“As we looked toward the future and our continued growth, we decided to invest further in our agents’ and company’s success and appointed Tina to lead the Hampton Roads and Northeast North Carolina markets for us,” said Boomer Foster, president of Long & Foster Real Estate. “With Tina at the helm in these regions, I’m confident we’ll bring the local expertise and service needed to best serve area residents.”
