Meet Becca

Real Estate Advisor

I'm Becca Locke, a Mill Creek Real Estate Advisor with 20+ years of experience, 500+ homes sold, and 13 years of living in the community I serve. As founder of Locke Real Estate, affiliated with Real Broker, LLC, I rank in the top 5% of Northwest MLS agents and hold Washington State license #23740. I work with first-time buyers, empty nesters and downsizers, and relocation clients across Mill Creek, Bothell, Edmonds, and the greater Snohomish County area.

My background is a little different from most. Before returning to client work, I spent a decade in executive leadership as GM of Ben Kinney Companies and founding designated broker of Compass Washington. That experience means I bring serious market strategy to every transaction, backed by the kind of local knowledge that only comes from actually living here.

If you're buying or selling in Mill Creek or the surrounding Snohomish County communities, I'd love to be a resource. No pressure. Just a real conversation about what the market is doing and what your options are.

Work With Becca

Whether you're buying your first home, selling the one you've outgrown, or relocating to the Snohomish County area, you deserve an advisor who knows this market from the inside out. I've lived in Mill Creek for 13 years, sold 500+ homes across the greater Puget Sound region, and built a practice around one thing: making sure my clients make confident, informed decisions. Here's how I can help: Whether you're a first-time buyer navigating a competitive Snohomish County market, a homeowner ready to sell and move on, or relocating to the Pacific Northwest and trying to figure out where to land, I bring the same thing to every situation: deep local knowledge, honest guidance, and a process that keeps you informed from start to finish. Let's Start With a Conversation - No commitment, no pressure. Just an honest 30-minute call where I learn about your situation and you get a clear picture of what the market looks like right now.
