.Betsey’s Real Estate began in 1996 in a small office in the basement of Betsey Merritt’s Roanoke Rapids home and has been growing ever since. Betsey’s southern heritage taught her the importance of honesty and hard work, and the value of a good sense of humor and it is these traits that have served her well in life as well as in her career.
.
Betsey was born in Seaboard, NC where graduated from North Hampton High School. Betsey says that she learned the basics of customer service while working at Fannies while growing up in Seaboard, but her first “real” job was as a buyer for Riches Department Store in Atlanta.
.
Soon there were new priorities in Betsey’s life. She married Rob Wilson in 1969. Rob was a fighter pilot and a test pilot for the USAF. They had two children, Kate and Brad and the family lived all over the world while on assignment in Germany, Spain, England, Texas, Arizona, Florida and North Carolina. Rob died in 1978 while training in Whitesands, NV. Betsey and the children moved back to North Hampton County and soon after to Roanoke Rapids. Then in 1980, Betsey married Tom Merritt, a high school science teacher and the family has since grown to include 5 wonderful grandchildren.
.
Betsey’s real estate career started in 1981 while working as a managing broker at Ginger Hale Realty. She was fortunate to learn a lot about running a business and the local real estate market during this time, and with her love of people and understanding of the area, along with her drive to succeed, Betsey decided to start her own company. Betsey has a strong understanding of the community and the local real estate market and she’s very successful in both business and her personal life. Some of her achievements include:
.
• Rookie of the year- Goldsboro MLS, 1976
