Meet the team

Brian & Malia Becker

A husband-and-wife team, long-time locals, and your trusted local guides for buying and selling homes from the mountains to the lakes.

Our story

We learned real estate the best way: by doing it

Between us, we've called the Upstate home for most of our lives, and we raised our five children here, mostly between Clemson and Seneca. Long before we became REALTORS®, we spent more than two decades buying, evaluating, renovating and selling homes across Oconee, Pickens and Anderson counties.

That experience shapes how we work today. We know what a well-kept home looks like, what buyers notice the moment they walk in, and what it takes to get a house ready for market. When we walk through a home with you, we see it the way people who have owned, repaired and remodeled many homes would.

We both genuinely enjoy working and talking with people, and helping someone solve a tricky problem is the best part of the job. As a team with Keller Williams Western Upstate, we work every listing and every search together, from the first walk-through to the closing table, so you always know exactly who to call.

"Our promise is simple: honest guidance, steady communication, and a plan built around your home and your goals."

Meet Brian

A builder at heart

Brian grew up around his father's contracting and home renovation business, spending much of his childhood in a small town on the Hudson River in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains. His family moved to the South Carolina Upstate when he was 12, and he has been here ever since.

He earned a Computer Science degree from Clemson University and spent 40 years in the IT industry. Evenings and weekends went to buying, renovating and selling real estate, along with a long list of hands-on hobbies: woodworking, landscape gardening, building and flying model aircraft, flying real ones, sawmilling, remodeling, and even writing fiction.

The common thread is a love of figuring out how things work and making them better. For his clients, that means a careful eye for a home's condition, clear answers to technical questions, and a steady, analytical approach to pricing.

Meet Malia

A local through and through

Malia spent her first four years in Tennessee, Illinois and Indiana before her family settled in the Upstate. She has lived here ever since, mostly between Clemson and Seneca, and knows the area the way only a long-time local can.

She raised and homeschooled all five of their now-grown children, logging untold miles and hours at baseball games, practices and every other activity along the way. A lover of languages and teaching, she has taught Spanish to students in a local homeschool group for 13 years, and recently added U.S. history and cultural geography.

In real estate she has years of experience working with sellers, including negotiating short sales that helped homeowners avoid foreclosure, and supporting renovation projects from start to finish.

Today she loves having all five children close enough to visit, and reading Petite Rouge, Rattletrap Car and other favorites aloud to her many grandchildren. Clients know her for her patience, her warmth and her calm in tough negotiations.
