Rebecca Watwood of CENTURY 21 Agate Realty

Personal Profile

I grew up in Brookings and graduated from BHHS. At 19 years old I got my Oregon real estate license as I wanted to follow in my father's footsteps as a Broker and investor. Because I was attending college out of state, I was only able to sell real estate during the summers which I very much enjoyed. I graduated from college with a double major: Business Administration and Home Economics with an emphasis in Design.

I relocated permanently to San Diego after graduating from Point Loma Nazarene College. I worked as an Escrow Assistant for just over 4 years which gave me a huge understanding of the escrow side of a transaction. I was recruited by a Mortgage Broker that I dealt with during my escrow career as they were going to train me to become a loan officer and required me to get my California Real Estate license, which I did. The market changed and they went out of business but I kept my California license. I then worked for a Computer Market Research Company as an Executive Assistant for various VP's and supervised 11 assistants within the Company for 5 years before relocating to Brookings, Oregon.

I reactivated my Oregon Real Estate license and have worked at Century 21 Agate Realty as a Broker since 1999 and as a Principal Broker since 2001. After my 1 st year back in the business, I started receiving honors as a Top Producer in the Brookings area. Since '01, I have been a Principal Broker and manage the agents in my office daily. I have held many Board position with the Curry County Board of Realtors including President in 2011.

My husband got into real estate in 2001 and we are lucky to work together. He brings great knowledge of the construction industry to our team and we often bounce strategy off each other. He too has been a top producer in the area and is also a Principal Broker.

I am also a licensed Sales Associate in the State of California with Ming Tree Real Estate and find it beneficial to be able to serve clients whether they want to buy and sell in California or Oregon.

I am a hard worker and very knowledgeable about the Brookings area and market which is appreciated by my clients. With my background as an Escrow Asst, Loan Officer Asst and Supervisor, I have a complete understanding of the real estate transaction process and anticipated issues that can arise in a transaction. I am always seeking to educate myself on industry changes, new laws and new technology which will make me a better agent.

I think it is very important for Buyers and Sellers to find an agent that they can trust, that is very knowledgeable in all aspects of real estate and can refer to the experts when one is needed, that works full time in the business, that will adjust to industry and market changes, that is compassionate about their job and will work hard for their client. These combinations of attributes help make the real estate sales experience successful.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to help you with your real estate goals.
