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.
