At Simmons Realty Group, relationships come first. Broker and owner Betsy Simmons believes that people—not properties—are at the heart of real estate. With deep, lasting connections to her clients, colleagues, and partners, she’s committed to creating an experience where friendships are formed, homes are found, and trust is the foundation of it all. Backed by proven systems and a strong support team, Betsy consistently ranks among the top 1% of real estate brokers in the Triangle. Her success reflects both her deep expertise and her people-first approach. Betsy’s journey into real estate was shaped by resilience and rooted in faith. A Boston College graduate with a nursing degree, she and her husband—and high school sweetheart—Brian built a family grounded in love and strength. When Brian was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in 2001, Betsy turned to real estate as a way to create stability and flexibility for their family. Today, Brian is a brain cancer survivor and serves as the business manager for Simmons Realty Group, supporting the team behind the scenes.

Their business is built on referrals and driven by values—serving others with integrity, compassion, and quiet confidence that speaks louder than words. Outside of real estate, Betsy and Brian treasure time with their growing family, including grandchildren. Whether hosting dinners, enjoying the beach, mentoring others, working out or chilling out, they see family and community as the true heart of life. Betsy’s greatest motivation is giving back—to her clients, her team, and everyone she meets. With the motto “putting people in front of houses,” she continues to make a lasting impact across the region by prioritizing relationships at every step of the journey.
