About Tessa

Serving California & North Carolina with Distinction

With over 30+ years at the forefront of luxury real estate, Tessa Johnson is a commanding force in the industry, seamlessly bridging two of the country’s most desirable markets—California and North Carolina.  Tessa is celebrated for her strategic expertise, elevated aesthetic, and concierge-level service that transcends the traditional real estate experience.

Tessa brings a rare dual mastery to every transaction: as a seasoned real estate professional and accomplished interior designer. This distinctive combination enables her to craft highly curated experiences for her clients—blending sharp market acumen with a designer’s eye for detail, form, and function. She specializes in the luxury enclaves of Malibu, Beverly Hills, Hollywood Hills, Studio City, Sherman Oaks, and the dynamic Chapel Hill / Research Triangle region of North Carolina.

Known for her intuitive approach, Tessa leads with empathy, listening deeply to understand each client’s unique goals. Whether she’s guiding a first-time buyer or orchestrating a discreet, off-market multimillion-dollar transaction, her process is grounded in integrity, precision, and style.

With a background in design and staging through her company, Las Tejas Designs, Tessa expertly prepares properties for maximum visual impact and market value—turning homes into showpieces that resonate emotionally and financially with today’s discerning buyers.

·Named among Real Trends’ Top 1.5% Agents Nationwide by Sales Volume

·Recognized as a Los Angeles Magazine Real Estate All-Star

Raised in the architectural haven of Montecito, California, and formerly a long-time Los Angeles resident, Tessa now calls Chapel Hill home. A devoted mother of two grown boys and a grandmother of 3, she brings the same disciplined work ethic, creative vision, and marketing savvy to real estate that she once homed in the performing arts and high-level sales industries.

Her insider knowledge, elite network, and quiet discretion have made her a trusted advisor to a loyal clientele—from Hollywood to North Carolina’s emerging luxury market. Tessa’s refined sensibility and market fluency allow her to connect the dots swiftly, often closing exclusive deals before they hit the MLS.

Whether representing a modern hillside retreat in L.A. or a historic estate in Chapel Hill, Tessa Johnson delivers a bespoke, design-forward real estate experience—one defined by trust, taste, and transformation.
