We are very excited to welcome Alyshia Merchant to our Divine Fog Realty Company - Roanoke VA Team!
Alyshia Merchant received her diagnosis with Lupus and Chronic Kidney Disease at a young age in 2012. Alyshia went into remission in 2020, and decided to step into Real Estate to not only change her life’s circumstances, and remove herself from the never ending cycle of receiving disability and housing assistance, but she also wanted to help change other people’s lives and circumstances. Alyshia is also a Qualified Virginia Housing Homebuyer Education Trainer, a HUD Community Development Citizens Review committee member, a 2022 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee member for the Virginia Association Of Realtors, and the Vice Chair of The Fair Housing Board for The City Of Roanoke. Her professional awards are “2023 Realtor Of The Year” Award for The Roanoke Times, 2023 Affordable Housing Hero Award From Virginia Housing, and a 2022, 2023, and 2024 Top Producing Agent award. One of her biggest accomplishments has been working alongside Roanoke Redevelopment & Housing to help individuals purchase homes while receiving their housing vouchers, as this was a community resource that she once utilized herself. She’s closed over 30 million in organic sales goals in her 4 year career span.
Alyshia is committed to continuing her advocacy work by passing along knowledge, and helping others in the disenfranchised community build generational wealth and economic growth through homeownership. She works with a wide range of clients from various backgrounds, especially those who benefit from government assistance programs and grants. In other words, Alyshia is The Lupus Realtor, and she is closing deals to heal. Her unapologetic testimony is that God has taken her from Section 8 to 6 Figures.
Give Alyshia a call at 540.819.2283.
