I am one of the few true natives of Wilmington. Because I am a Wilmington native, I am familiar with all of Wilmington and the surrounding areas. I have enjoyed being a Real Estate Agent since 1995. I have a background in insurance and banking.
I appreciate the hard work and dedication provided by the Fire, Police and EMS. If you work in the industry, please contact me about the special incentives with lending, inspections and closing attorney.
When I am not working, I enjoy spending time boating and sport fishing, cooking, traveling and enjoying the Intracoastal Waterway.
Why Experience Matters:
I have worked hard to become a successful Real Estate Agent/Broker in today's market. I first became interested in Real Estate while working as an Insurance Sales Agent. While selling insurance I attended the American College of Bryn Mawr, PA gaining valuable insight to the financial market, which served as the foundation of my Real Estate career. I am a strong believer of the motto “knowledge is power." I understand that just holding a Real Estate is a license is not enough to do the tasks expected by quality real estate professionals in today’s market. As a previous Coldwell Banker Franchise Owner, I have real insight on both the front and back side of every type of real estate transaction.

As a Wilmington resident for over 50 years, I have had the pleasure of calling this beautiful town my home. I am proud to say I have lived here since I was 3 years old, seeing lots of changes and growth along the way. The city of Wilmington and its beaches are Hot Spots for vacationers throughout the year, continuing to bring growth to the Port City.
I joined Keller Williams with 26 years experience as a local Wilmington business owner. I have had the opportunity to meet thousands of people of all ages, many being repeat customers for more than 20 years. Needless to say, I am a people person and believe in customer service. I like to discover the needs and wants of my clients and help them achieve their goals, and I value the trust my clients have in me. By being a part of the KBT Realty Group, I am confident I can help you with your real estate needs.
I enjoy spending my free time outdoors, whether it be walks on the beach with my wife or just spending time working in the yard.

My personal mission has always been about helping people create new futures for themselves and their families. And having the privilege of facilitating a move to a new neighborhood, finding a new home, or creating new income through investment properties, is a very rewarding way to do just that.
After a 25+ year sales and marketing career in the travel and hospitality industry, real estate offers just the right opportunity to combine my love for sales and marketing innovation, along with win-win contract negotiations and building strong personal relationships to impact the lives of people around me in ways that truly matter. After having lived all over the country, and finally finding my way here to beautiful coastal NC, the opportunity to share all the great things that this area has to offer with others, makes “work” seem like “play” every single day!
With a deep commitment to “doing the right thing – always," and enjoying plenty of laughter at every opportunity, regardless of whether your objective is to enjoy the highest possible returns from the sale of your most precious asset or your goal is the hunt for your next “living the dream” or vacation get-away home here in beautiful Brunswick County, as your NC Broker by the Sea, I guarantee to make it fun, fast, and fruitful. By working together with my outstanding partners at KBT Realty - the #1 producing team in the region and the #1 real estate firm in the world - I can assure that all my customers experience the level of customer service excellence they deserve.

I grew up in North Carolina in the town of Goldsboro and attended Appalachian State University and then spent two years working in Chapel Hill. I earned my MBA at The University of Tennessee in Knoxville. After having spent 7 years in marketing, I realized I was uniquely positioned to combine the expertise of my business and marketing background to help others make one of the most important decisions of their lives, real estate investments – whether to call someplace home or be on the path to wealth through investing. I spent 10 years as a licensed agent in Reno, NV where I grew a small team and then chose to return home to North Carolina to live near the beach and family.
I was a top producing agent not because of chance, but because of persistence and education. I always cared deeply about my clients and refused to let them fail, negotiating on their behalf and educating them so they could make the best decision for their families. As a broker with KBT Realty of Keller Williams, I take that same approach with buyers and sellers in the southeastern coastal North Carolina region.

My real estate business centers around building rapport and gaining the trust of every client I have the pleasure of representing. My goal is to exceed expectations.
My military background has awarded me the opportunity to truly appreciate the experience of new beginnings. I understand what canvassing a new environment entails. Making connections, adapting to change and overcoming adversity has become second nature. As a former Air Traffic Controller and Social Worker, being detail oriented and having a heightened sense of awareness are qualities that I consider paramount.
I have spent years fostering a genuine desire to advocate for others. If you're looking for someone who finds joy in overcoming obstacles and navigating the real estate market then you’ve found your perfect candidate.

My clients call me the ultimate match maker, my passion has always been rooted in customer service. The truth is I was born to serve, it was only natural that my career started as the manager of my husband’s health care practice. Together, we built a successful practice from the ground up. Customer service was the backbone of our business model and our primary focus. Getting to know our clients on every level was something that came naturally to me and led me on my career to Real Estate.
After 10 years of managing my husband’s office, it was time for me to build a career of my own, which is when the match making began. I started in Real Estate in 2006, and it was an amazing fit for my
customer services skills and my creative vision. I saw not only what a house needed, but also how a house could be transformed into someone’s dream home. I’ve spent the last 15 years in helping people buy and sell homes. During this time, I stayed in the top 5% of real estate professionals, year in and year out. My results are driven by my clients’ happiness and shows that I love what I do.
Whether it’s buying or selling a home in a master plan community like Brunswick Forest, or a dream home on the beach, I know my expertise will get you to your next chapter.
In my spare time I enjoy golfing, cycling, and baking, and enjoy volunteering with dog rescues helping transport dogs to their forever homes.

I became a real estate broker to help families navigate one of their largest purchases and core life experiences. The work I do is meaningful, impactful and often life changing. My background in architecture and construction set a strong foundation for real estate success and sets me apart from most agents. I've spent the last 5 years diving into real estate and establishing a reputation for innovation to ensure my clients achieve their goals. It is important to me that everyone has a chance at home ownership.
I am a native to North Carolina with extensive relocation experience from my time in the US Air Force. Since moving to Wilmington, I have spent lots of time giving back to the community and advocating for our youth. I love to share all that Wilmington and the surrounding areas have to offer with people relocating here, based on your interests. I will travel to you and with you throughout southeast NC to help you reach your real estate goals.
My business is built on integrity, determination, and communication. I combine my experience in architecture, construction and real estate with extensive training and my clients win. I have helped several local families buy and many relocate from out of state. I am a culture award winner with Keller Williams and always advocate for equity for ALL. I'm confident that my diligence, skills, and passion for my work will make the home buying and selling process more enjoyable for you.
Outside of real estate you can find me around town exploring local coffees shops, at the yoga and spin studio, at the beach and promoting human kindness through my apparel brand, Be Mo' Kind, that gives back to end bullying and youth suicide. I also have two rescue dogs and am part of the local Jeep community.

I was born in Bosnia in 1991. At age 8, I moved to Burlington, Vermont and spent the next 17 years enjoying the waterfront town. I relocated to Rhode Island in 2017, and enjoyed 6 years by the ocean! In 2022 I decided to make a move to warmer ocean life in Wilmington, North Carolina. I come from a hard-working family that always achieves what they set out to do, and excel at every job we hold. We are perfectionists and want the best for ourselves and anyone we meet. I have had 15+ years of customer service experience, whether it was nannying, waitressing or being a restaurant manager. I knew that I wanted to be a real estate professional from watching Chip and Joanna Gaines, knowing full well I was not a house flipper, or had enough dad jokes (yet), to do what they do. It was a beautiful thing to utilize skills and assets to help people find a place to have many family meals in.

I am originally from Clifton, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, DC where I engaged in the private practice of law for over 20 years. It was a general law practice with a strong emphasis on both residential and commercial real estate transactions. I earned my undergraduate degree from George Mason University with a B.S. in Public Administration and my law degree from George Mason University School of Law. My dream since I was young was to call the beach my home. I discovered Kure Beach in 2003 and instantly fell in love. Finally, in 2014, I made the leap and moved to Kure Beach permanently. I was lucky to have my dream come true.

I am a proud Michigander but have called Wilmington my home since 1998. I grew up in both the East Lansing area, home of Michigan State University, and the metro Detroit area, of which both enjoy a diverse population. I learned to appreciate many cultures which in turn created my love to meet new people and learn their story. After living in Michigan, Florida, Virginia Beach, the Piedmont Triad area of NC, Eastern Iowa and upstate NY it helps me to understand this market better. I was a Navy wife during the Gulf War then I sold a successful service business I had co created. One visit to Wilmington and I decided to move here. Persistence and the belief in top notch customer service are my strengths. I joined KBT after 20 years working in both sales for a franchise real estate company locally and Broker in Charge/Business Development for their large long term rental management division. Advising on the benefits of owning long term residential rental property in this area was my specialty. For 19 years I was instrumental in growing an extensive portfolio of owners. I decided to join Keller Williams and the KBT Realty family to best utilize my experience and knowledge in this growing coastal real estate market. KBT provides the positive support, technology and TRUE team atmosphere which is crucial for success. When I am not helping clients, I love to walk for exercise, read, work in my flower gardens, create new recipes, cook and entertain. My husband of 20 years and I love to look for vinyl records, thrift shops and listen to music. If you meet me and you love music, I would love to hear what artists are your faves!

Dealing with Becky is a pleasure. She is so professional. She is very dedicated to her work. Once you get involved with her, she will take the ball and run with it.

She will handle everything. I would highly recommend anyone that is wanting to list or purchase a home call Becky.
by JamieMrs. Brown has assisted our family in purchasing, selling, purchasing, and soon to sell again, over the past 10 years. I totally trust her instinct. She has always got me into what I want to see and taken me to homes she researched for me too. Always flexible with schedule, very prompt and to-the -point with other realtors involved. I recommend her to my friends and anyone who needs a realtor. Her knowledge of the coastal area is amazing most likely due to living here her whole life.
