Hi, I’m Erika Granderson—Thee Otaku Realtor.
Real estate is more than my career—it’s my passion for helping people find the place that feels like home. Whether you’re buying your very first house, moving up to fit your next chapter, or preparing to sell, I’m here to make the experience clear, enjoyable, and successful.
As a lifelong fan of anime and a proud local expert in Newport News and Hampton, I bring a unique blend of creativity, dedication, and a personal touch to every transaction. I’ve sold over 105 homes, earned the Circle of Excellence Gold award in 2022, and am backed by one of the top 20 brokerages nationwide.
When I’m not guiding clients, you’ll find me exploring local restaurants, filming episodes of Thee Good News—my community spotlight series—or catching up on the latest manga releases.
Let’s make your next move one you’ll always be proud of.
