I’m an ordinary woman who just did the next thing for nearly seven decades.
Raised by loving parents and more cousins than I could count, I built a life on faith, hard work, and figuring it out as I went. My husband and I share the same values — and over one hard decade in our thirties, we lost all four of our parents. I cared for three of them under our roof, in a house that always felt too small. That season eventually became a book, Daughters of Naomi — and it’s why I do what I do now.
I’m Becky Fields. I’m just an ordinary person who has simply done the next thing — raised by loving parents, surrounded by more cousins than I could count, and given enough challenges along the way to build a real measure of faith, a belief in the rewards of hard work, and the resourcefulness to chase whatever the Lord put in front of me next. I married a man who shares that faith and those values, and together we’ve been blessed with seven children and nineteen grandchildren.
Over one hard decade in our thirties, we lost all four of our parents, and the last two grandparents. I cared for three of our parents in our home — a house that always felt too small for what it was holding. Before I had an empty nest, I was a stay-at-home mom, a homeschooler, the CFO of my husband’s engineering business, and, more than a few times, a student in the school of hard knocks.
When my last child left home, I spent the next decade building a career in real estate — learning to actually communicate, thanks to Toastmasters, and putting a lifetime of ordinary experience to work helping people solve real problems. Somewhere in there, I realized my everyday, unglamorous life was actually a story worth telling. I told it in Daughters of Naomi. Today I’m known around Houston as the Grandma House Buyer, helping seniors and their families navigate the transitions, the downsizing, and the legacies of a life well lived.
Becky Fields – Author, Daughters of Naomi | Licensed Texas Realtor® — Houston, TX
The industry I work in is full of people who see a transaction where I see a person — and not all of them are people you should trust with something this personal. Let me say this as plainly as I can: I will never treat you like a transaction. If you ever feel that way from me or anyone else, let it be known. My God owns cattle on a thousand hills. He didn’t put me here to profit off anyone’s grief. I won’t do it, and I won’t let anyone else do it in this space.
If you choose, you can do business with me. If you need help with the house, I can help in a couple of ways. As an investor, I can buy your house outright. As a REALTOR®, I can represent you and list it.
But unless you take the initiative, whenever you find me on the front porch, I’m just your friend — one who happens to have some hard-won experience that might help you care for the people you love.

Speaking — invite Becky to your group
I love talking with women’s ministries, eldercare groups, and community gatherings about the journey of “walking a parent home” — the faith side and the practical side. If your group is looking for someone who’s lived this and not just studied it, I’d love to hear from you.
Tell Your Story — for the next book
I love hearing the stories of other “Daughters of Naomi.” I’m planning my next book, Stories of the Daughters of Naomi. Maybe we could use yours.
My front porch just got a little bigger, and you’re welcome to step up on it — grab some ice-cold lemonade, take the porch swing, and talk a while. If you’re walking a parent home right now, I want you to know: you don’t have to do it alone.
