Welcome to O’Konek Realty!  

Doing real estate for me is my mission field.  Whether it was being a first sergeant in the Air Force or the Ethics Officer in the VA Health Care Center, God gave me a love for helping people. As a real estate agent, helping people buy or sell their homes goes far beyond just a transaction; it’s a chance to serve people in the community and contribute to the American dream. I take pride in guiding families through the often complex home buying process, ensuring they find not just a house, but a place they can call home—a sanctuary where they can create memories and build their future. Every successful closing is a testament of my commitment to fostering stability and prosperity within our community. This dedication stems from a deep belief that strong, vibrant communities are the backbone of the nation, and by assisting individuals and families in finding the perfect home, we both directly contribute to the strength and unity of the midlands.

My first duty station was Shaw AFB in Sumter, and I fell in love with South Carolina.  I knew I would come back here after my military service to make Columbia my home. I love living in the rural area of Columbia, and I am passionate about community service and community involvement.  We have attended Trinity Church on Hallbrook for over 20 years and hosted home bible studies monthly since 2010. I am a annual board member of the A21 Walk For Freedom to support ending human trafficking, act as secretary for the Capital City Republican Women's group, and attend SCGOP meetings in Columbia. In my free time, I enjoy cooking and baking bread, fishing, spending time with family and friends, raising chickens and ducks, and of course, watching all Gamecocks sports!

Buyers and sellers need a professional who can provide insightful advice, listen attentively, and maintain composure in stressful situations. I've continued my education in real estate to meet those needs,  obtaining certifications as an Accredited Buyer Representative, Real Estate Negotiation Expert, Seller Residential Specialist, e-Pro in digital marketing, Pricing Strategy Advisor, and the Graduate Real Estate Institute.
