The day after Bailey graduated from Morehead State with a Business Marketing Degree, she followed her parents to their new home in paradise, and immediately fell in love with the area. Three months later she was on her way to Europe to play professional volleyball in Germany and the Czech Republic, where she embraced the different personalities, cultures, and customs that she experienced while living abroad.

After 2 years Bailey was ready to start her life in the states, back in the beautiful coastal community she now calls home. Bailey’s Business Marketing Degree laid the foundation for her critical thinking and analytical skills, both key in negotiations, and since her return, Bailey has developed the wide network of family and friends that is so crucial to real estate. Her time overseas gave Bailey real experience in working with a wide variety of personalities, and her understanding of the importance of teamwork allows her to seamlessly help guide Buyers through the complexities of a real estate transaction, as she works so well with everyone.

Originally from Vermont, Rhea moved to Martha’s Vineyard in 1992 where she fell in love with the Island way of life and small community feel. Rhea has since raised twin boys who both graduated college and are making their way confidently in this world. After 20+ years of Real Estate on Martha’s Vineyard it was the right time for her new adventures to begin, and she decided to make a lifestyle change to another Paradise.

On her first visit to the Englewood area, it was clear this was going to be a place in the future for her to call home, with a similar small community feel, yet so accessible to so many attractions. It just felt right.

Her extensive background in vacation destination communities afforded her great success and while looking to “slow it down” a bit in this chapter of her life,

Rhea’s love of Real Estate and helping others transition their lives played a big role in her decision to come aboard with Carla Stiver and her team.

Outside of the office Rhea can be found kayaking with her partner Al, spending the day at the beach, exploring the area, or just hanging with her rescue dogs at home!
