I have been married to my spouse for 42 years. We have a wonderful son and two fabulous grandchildren. We have a farm in the country where I keep my two horses. Tira, an Arabian gelding and Chickie, a Paso Fino (with an attitude). We love the wild life that visits on our farm. We see deer, red foxes, rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, ducks and geese.

I was born in South Carolina and moved to North Carolina when I was 3 months old. When my Dad saw me for the first time in the hospital, he said, “There is my little “Cookie”. Although, I was legally named, Phyllis, the nickname “Cookie” has always suited my personality much better and since it was my Dad’s special name for me, it has a lot of significance and sentimentality, especially since he passed away in 1988. So, that is the reason I use “Cookie” Watson instead of Phyllis Watson.

I chose the Real Estate Profession because I am a “PEOPLE PERSON”. My choice came in an unusual way. I was working with my personal Real Estate Broker looking for a home for my family and me. Because I had lived in Rocky Mount all my life and the Agent was originally from another city, I knew how to locate the listed properties better than she did, so she planted the seed in my mind for a Real Estate Career. That seed lingered and grew. I pursued the profession and LOVE IT. She set an example for me as to what a “Good Professional Real Estate Agent” should be. Unfortunately, she is no longer living, but I cherish the lessons and path she set for me.

Each time I am able to help customers find their “Dream Home” it gives me a sense of accomplishment and personal satisfaction. Having been in their shoes, I know they are making the biggest emotional and financial decision of their life.

From personal experience, I know clients can feel overwhelmed with all the paper work and real estate terminology. I want clients to feel at ease knowing they are my first priority and I will take as much time as necessary to make sure they are knowledgeable and comfortable with the choices they make.

Since being licensed as a Real Estate Broker in 1972, it has been my pleasure during the years to help many families buy or sell homes in Rocky Mount. I especially enjoy working with customers relocating to Rocky Mount. It not only gives me the opportunity to sell a home but to sell them on my hometown. Each and every transaction is as exciting and important to me as my first sale over 31 years ago.

As your Real Estate Agent, my pledge and commitment to you is to have respect for your time, be honest and fair, give timely response to messages, and to promote and protect your interest. I want to win your trust and give you professional, experienced service.
