Biography
About Sharon Tay
American by nationality and Asian by ethnicity, Sharon Tay was born in Singapore on October 15, 1966. At age seven she immigrated to the United States, living in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and the Philippines before earning a degree in Broadcast Journalism from Boston University. Her career began in the late 1980s at Boston Neighborhood Network and other stations, eventually leading to prominent morning news anchor roles at KTLA, KCBS-TV, and KCAL-TV in Los Angeles. A multi-Emmy-winning journalist, she also speaks Spanish and Cantonese fluently, and has made occasional appearances in films and TV shows as a news anchor.
After more than three decades in broadcasting, Tay transitioned around 2020 to real estate, joining The Altman Brothers Team at Douglas Elliman. She brings her research skills, work ethic, and long-term LA residency to serving clients in the luxury market. Now 59 years old, she stands 5'4" tall with black hair and brown eyes, and maintains a 36–24–36 figure. She is active on Instagram with 25k followers.
Her path from Singapore to a multi-Emmy career and now luxury real estate reflects a rare combination of skills. Few broadcasters make that leap, and even fewer do it in the same city. She currently works as both a realtor and a TV host, blending two demanding professions. Her story is one of reinvention, though she remains grounded in the discipline of journalism.
