About Rebecca

It Was a Decision Made from the Heart.
A Decision This Professional Has Never Regretted.

Rebecca Monson remembers when she chose to make her home in the Truckee area. As a very logical person who has always valued education and learning, this savvy businesswoman will tell you her decision was an "educated choice," backed by much research and fact finding. But dig a little deeper and you'll learn that, like so many others who are proud to call this area home, Rebecca's major reason for choosing to live here is that this beautiful, natural location touched her heart-and continues to do so.

A Life Lesson

Seeing her daughters frolic in the snow, experiencing a sunset with her family from their boat while on Donner Lake or enjoying the evocative smell of a chimney fire on a crisp autumn day-these special moments have taught Rebecca a valuable lesson. That lesson is that it's important to savor every day and appreciate the great lifestyle she has found here.

A Change of Pace, A Change of Place

Rebecca had been working for a high-powered software company in Marin County. She lived in San Francisco, but wanted a change from the fast-paced, city lifestyle. For as long as she can remember, Rebecca has been an outdoors person who loves the water and the mountains. She was ready for a change in her life, one that would allow her to indulge her love of swimming and skiing. With its beautiful mountains and lakes, the Tahoe/Truckee area was the perfect choice for this lively and talented professional.

A Bay Area Tradition

The eldest child of two doctors, Rebecca was raised in Novato. Instilled with a passion for learning, education has always been a dominant part of her life. Armed with her bachelor's degree in economics from Cornell, Rebecca pursued her interest in marketing through positions with the North Lake Tahoe and Truckee/Donner Chambers of Commerce. While working for the latter, Rebecca attended night school at the University of Nevada to earn her MBA, completing studies in finance, investment analysis and venture capital.

The Good Life

Rebecca met her future husband, Eric, here in the Truckee area. He is a licensed general contractor, and he and Rebecca built their first house together on a lot with magnificent 180-degree views of the Truckee mountain range. The couple continued to buy and sell homes in the area, becoming well acquainted with the many different neighborhoods and their unique properties. With the birth of daughters Madelyn and Emily the two settled into a happy family life in their scenic surroundings, making the most of all the summer and winter activities available.
