Like so many local residents, Rebecca’s journey to the Upstate began elsewhere and has included life milestones that have dotted the map throughout the US. Rebecca was born in New England and attended a small college in Indiana. It was there that she met her husband. While her initial plan was to become a teacher, she answered a greater calling after the birth of her first child. She knew immediately that her life’s greatest work as a mother had begun, and she chose to spend the next 15 years of her life dedicating herself to her family. As her children grew and became more independent, Rebecca wanted to pursue a profession that would allow her to interact with people and serve them on a personal level. She found that role working with an eye doctor, and quickly recognized that she wanted to serve people in a deeper and more meaningful way. Throughout her life she had befriended a number of Realtors, and she felt strongly that she could leverage her outgoing personality and desire to help others by pursuing a career in real estate. Rebecca enjoys the challenge of helping people buy and sell homes on their terms and guiding them through the journey in a way that is personal and enjoyable. She is committed to the idea that the real estate journey should be relational rather than transactional. In turn, she works hard to form a bond with her clients so that she can personalize the experience to their standards. When not serving her clients, you can find Rebecca riding bikes on the Swamp Rabbit, vacationing in Hilton Head, volunteering in her church, cooking, and entertaining for friends and family. Having now lived in the Upstate for nearly 25 years, her number one passion has never waned… her children continue to be the joy of her life.
