Where does Becca Pitts work?

I work across Pierce County and South King County most of the time, and I go wherever the right house is. I've closed deals from Everett to Morton and from Grays Harbor to Roslyn. I live in Bonney Lake, I grew up in Eatonville, and I've lived in Pierce, King, and Whatcom counties, so a lot of this region I know from the inside rather than from a map.

How long has Becca Pitts been a real estate agent?

I've been a licensed real estate broker in Washington since 2010 and I've closed more than 270 transactions. Before that I spent eight years in event production doing sales, project management, and creative work, until the Great Recession ended that and somebody recruited me into real estate. I'm currently with eXp Realty LLC and I was named an eXp Icon Agent in 2022.

What does SRES® certification mean?

SRES® stands for Seniors Real Estate Specialist, a designation from the National Association of REALTORS® that takes additional training in reverse mortgages, aging in place, care placement timelines, and the tax side of selling a home someone has lived in for decades. It matters most when a move involves a parent and the whole family is in the decision. It's the work I care about most, for reasons that come out of my own family.

What is the first meeting with Becca like?

It's a conversation, not a script. I ask what you're trying to do and why now, you ask me anything you want, and we figure out together whether I'm the right fit. Then I send you a questionnaire that covers timeline and budget and also asks what snacks you like. Nobody signs anything at a first meeting.

Who is Allbree Warner?

Allbree is my right-hand person, and when you hear from Allbree you're hearing from me. She knows where your file stands and has the same answers I do. Most clients hear from both of us, and she's very often the reason a deadline gets caught early.

Does Becca Pitts only work with seniors?

No. Senior transitions are the work I specialize in, and they're one part of a normal week. First-time buyers, move-up buyers, sellers, investors, people relocating to Washington, people buying raw land to build on: the questions change, the way I work them stays the same.

About

I grew up in a town with one blinking light.

Here's the thing about 270 closings: they teach you exactly where a deal breaks. So I structure things so they don't. Before we start, I've already worked out Plan A, Plan B, and usually Plan C, and I bring up the hard parts in week one while there's still room to do something about them. You don't need to carry all three plans around. You just need to know somebody has them.

Where I'm from

Eatonville, Washington. You'd miss it if you blinked at the blinking light.

Eatonville sits at the foot of Mount Rainier and it was founded by the Van Eaton family, which I mean literally and not as a piece of local trivia. Dr. Tom Van Eaton delivered me. My best friend growing up was Gloria Van Eaton, and she is now Dr. Gloria Low, the doctor in that same town.

So that's the kind of place it is. The people you grow up with are the people who take care of you later, and everybody knows exactly how you treated the last person you dealt with. Honestly, I think that's most of what I carried into this business. Your name is the whole thing, and it follows you around a county the same way it follows you around a town.

From there I went north to Bellingham and got a BA in Business Administration from Western Washington University. Then Puyallup. Then Tacoma, over in Westgate, for about ten years. A short stretch in Renton after that. And since 2017, Bonney Lake, where I'm on my second house. I bought this one on purpose because it has an ADU, and my mom lives in it.

Which means when I say I know Pierce County, I mean I've paid property taxes in it. I've lived in King County and in Whatcom County too. And I've written deals from Everett to Morton and from Grays Harbor to Roslyn, because I have never had a house simply come to me. I go where the right one is.

How I got here

Real estate was never the plan. Somebody recruited me in 2010.

Before real estate I spent eight years in event production, doing sales, project management, and the creative side of it. If you have ever been in a room full of people having a great time and never once thought about how the room got that way, that was the job. Budgets, vendors, drawings, deadlines, and about forty things that all had to land on the same day or everybody could see it.

Then the Great Recession showed up and I got laid off. Somebody saw something in me and recruited me into real estate in 2010, while the market was still climbing out of the wreckage. On paper it looked like the worst possible time to start.

It turned out to be the best training I could have gotten. In 2010 the work that was actually there was short sales, foreclosures, and REOs, which is to say the files nobody wanted. The seller is a bank, the paperwork is punishing, the timelines belong to somebody in another state, and nothing closes unless a human being keeps pushing on it every single day. I learned this business on the hardest version of it. A normal transaction has never rattled me since, and when a file gets complicated is usually the point where I get useful.

Steve Hiatt at Keller Williams gave me my start and my first real footing in the business. From there I went to Best Choice, and for the last six years I've been at eXp Realty LLC, where I was named an Icon Agent in 2022. Two hundred seventy closings later, I'm still doing the same thing I was doing on the distressed files: answering my own phone and telling people the truth about what's actually in front of them.

How I work - Six things you can count on from me.

It's a conversation, not a script.

I don't have a presentation I run at people. The first time we sit down, I want to hear what you're actually trying to do and why now, and I want you asking me anything, including the questions you're worried sound dumb. Those are usually the good ones. By the end of it we'll both know whether I'm the right person for this, and I'll tell you honestly if I'm not.

The questionnaire asks about snacks.

Before we get going I send you a questionnaire. Some of it is what you'd expect: timeline, budget, what you can't live without, what you won't put up with. Some of it asks what you like to snack on and what you drink when there's something worth toasting. I'm going to be in your life for a few months, occasionally on a hard day, and I'd like to show up with the right coffee.

I bring up the hard thing first.

The uncomfortable conversation is so much easier in week one than in week six. If the price isn't where you want it to be, if the roof is going to come up on inspection, if the timeline in your head doesn't match the one the calendar is offering, I'm going to say it at the start, while there's still room to do something about it.

Plan A, Plan B, and usually Plan C.

270 closings teach you exactly where deals break. So before we start, I've already thought through what we do if the appraisal comes in low, if financing wobbles, if the other side goes quiet for a week. You don't have to carry all three plans around in your head. You just need to know somebody has them.

Other agents call me.

Agents on the other side of a deal, agents I've never met, agents who hit something they haven't seen before. My phone rings and I pick it up. Partly because it's how I'd want to be treated, and partly because the agent I help this week is the agent reading your offer next spring, and they'll remember.

Tequila and Sour Patch Kids.

That's the closing gift. A bottle of tequila and a bag of Sour Patch Kids, because that's the transaction: sour, then sweet, and worth it at the end. And the relationship keeps going after that. I've helped clients load furniture, chase down things left in a garage, and sort out storage weeks after closing.

Who else you'll hear from

Allbree Warner

Client care and transaction support

Allbree is my right-hand person. When you hear from Allbree, you're hearing from me. She knows where your file stands, she has the same answers I do, and she is very often the reason a deadline gets caught before it turns into a problem. You'll meet her early, and you'll be glad you did.

At home

Ryan, my mom, and the reason I got certified.

My husband Ryan is a full-stack developer and runs Selden Furnishings, so dinner around here swings between contract addenda and database migrations, and somehow we both find that relaxing.

My mom lives in the ADU. We bought this house specifically because it had one, which is its own quiet lesson about this job: the house you need at fifty is often not the house you were shopping for at forty, and a lot of families figure that out under a deadline.

The SRES® certification came out of something harder than that. My dad had Alzheimer's, and I learned from the inside what that does to a family. The decisions nobody is ready for, the timeline nobody chose, and a house sitting in the middle of all of it. That story is mine to tell properly and I'm going to write it out here soon.

What I'll say for now is that it changed what I'm good for. SRES® certification is real training in reverse mortgages, aging in place, care placement, and the tax side of selling a home somebody has lived in for forty years. When a family calls me about a parent, I already know the shape of the week they're having. It's the work I care about most, and it is one part of a normal week alongside first-time buyers, move-up buyers, sellers, and people moving here from somewhere else entirely.
