About Tana

Hi, I’m Tana Widdows, a Realtor serving Chapel Hill, Durham, Cary, and the surrounding Triangle. I believe that selling or buying a home isn’t just a transaction, it’s a pivotal life moment that deserves creativity, strategy, and genuine care. My superpower is finding what makes a property truly special, then crafting beautiful, high-impact marketing to attract the right buyer.

Before real estate, I worked in radio advertising, helping small businesses tell their stories in ways that connected with customers. That experience taught me how powerful storytelling and good marketing can be, and now I use those same skills to help my clients’ homes shine. I partner with the best photographers and videographers in the business, leverage AI tools for smarter audience targeting, and design campaigns that blend cutting-edge strategy with real community connection. (Yes, I’ve even hosted pumpkin giveaways and food-drives at open houses to make listings unforgettable.)

As someone who moved here from Santa Cruz, California, I understand what it’s like to start fresh in a new place. I love helping relocation clients discover not just a home, but a sense of belonging, introducing them to the neighborhoods, trails, and local favorites that make the Triangle such a special place to live.

My clients describe me as strategic, down-to-earth, and relentlessly committed. I listen closely, align with their goals, and make what could be a stressful process feel organized, calm, and even fun.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me walking my Great Dane, Oliver, meeting friends for dinner, practicing yoga, or knitting something cozy. Real estate is about people, and I’m grateful every day that I get to help people through one of the most meaningful chapters of their lives — turning what’s often “the hard part” into something hopeful and exciting.
