CC Hightower
REALTOR®
Cell Phone: (912) 222-9277
email: cc@situsgeorgia.com
As a second-generation realtor with a keen eye for envisioning the potential of homes, CC cuts through the noise of real estate. Her foundation in real estate began in high school when her single mother of two founded a real estate brokerage business in Ocilla, Georgia, enabling her to learn the ins and outs of the industry while ingraining a true passion for all aspects of buying and selling real estate. Since then, she's had the pleasure of assisting homebuyers, landowners and even commercial investors in numerous real estate transactions.
Upon graduating from The University of Georgia in 2012 with a degree in public relations, she and her husband, Jake, hopped from Atlanta to Austin then to West Texas. Once they welcomed their first child, they knew it was time to move back home to Georgia to settle down and plant roots permanently. Having grown up in a small South Georgia town and vacationing in the Golden Isles over the years, it was an easy decision to make the move to St. Simons in 2018. CC and Jake were particularly drawn to the area because of the friendly people and the strong sense of community—making it a perfect place to raise a family.
It’s said that people do business with people they like, and CC’s warm personality makes you feel like you’ve known her for years. Her marketing background, attention to detail and dedication to each client lay the foundation for her to sell each piece of real estate for the best price possible, as quickly as possible, and as smoothly as possible. The buying and selling process can be a daunting task for many, but you can rest assured that CC will work tirelessly on your behalf to provide a seamless transition from one dream property to the next.
CC gives back to our community through her service as a board member of Habitat for Humanity of Glynn County and American Cancer Society Victory Board member. She is also a host team member at Saint Simons Community Church and a graduate of Leadership Glynn 2022.

Becca understands the importance of finding a place that suits your personal wants and needs and is dedicated to helping her clients find a place to truly call home.
After graduating in 2006 with a degree in Speech Communication from the University of Georgia, Becca called Atlanta home for 15 years. Her interest in real estate began with her first job as Communications Director for an Atlanta-based developer. She then began working on her real estate license while flipping a house in the Morningside neighborhood. Unfortunately, her plans changed with the market crash of 2008. Becca made her pivot from real estate into marketing and PR, working for clients ranging from a major shopping center developer, national and boutique retail stores, fitness studios and non-profits. Her ability to understand her clients’ unique needs and focus on their best interests made Becca a successful representative for a wide range of businesses. She brings that experience as well as her genuine warmth and caring with her in all of her endeavors and is always willing to go above and beyond the serve her clients interests.
In 2021, the Golden Isles, and Saint Simons in particular, called Becca back “home”. Becca loves the beach and biking and spending time with her rescue labs, Tucker and Cooper.
