Get to know Akilah and Rebecca |
Akilah Armstrong is a proud Cambridge native; no matter where she has traveled over the past decades, she always returns home. When she moved back after college, she observed a shift in her community: new high-rise buildings, new condominiums, and lots of renovations. This shift, and the desire to give back to her community, is what initially drew her to real estate. Now Akilah actively contributes to this change, with a focus on enabling Cambridge to remain welcoming to all cultures, backgrounds, education levels and financial statuses. This variety is what makes Cambridge so special, and she loves nothing more than helping others find their home in this amazing city and surrounding areas. After completing her education at Bentley University with a BS in Marketing, Akilah worked in advertising. There, she gained valuable insight into the corporate world of marketing. In particular, Akilah learned how best to reach and engage consumers. She has transferred those skills to the Liz & Ellie team, where she helps clients by targeting the right audience for listings and locating the best homes for buyers. Akilah also manages the team’s social media platforms, assists in creating marketing collateral, and supports clients throughout the buying and selling process. Outside of work, Akilah loves to relax with friends and family over a nice meal, and goes for walks around her beloved Cambridge and the surrounding cities. She loves her cat, Carmen, and you might even catch her going for “cat walks” around the neighborhood! Akilah also enjoys the visual arts and adds to her personal art collection whenever a great piece catches her eye. Finally, Akilah loves to travel, which is made evident by the long list of places she’s visited over the years. Her all-time favorite destination is her “second home” of Barbados, where her family is from; but Cambridge is where her heart is. |
Rebecca Taplin comes from a teaching background and serves as our team’s “Life Support.” She has worked with diverse populations, including immigrants and refugees, special needs students, children at Montessori schools, and people of all ages, from Kindergarten through adulthood. What started out as helping keep Liz & Ellie’s records up to date six years ago has blossomed into an all-encompassing support role. Rebecca helps the team function smoothly. She keeps transactions on track, manages client outreach, and helps with short- and long-term business projects. She approaches her work with positivity, ensures accountability, and keeps us motivated and cheerful. Because of Rebecca’s role, Ellie and Liz are able to focus on you, our client, without worrying about whether the background tasks are getting done. Rebecca also gives Ellie and Liz invaluable advice from an outsider’s perspective, to keep them grounded in their clients’ real estate experience. In fact, after working with them for over 5 years and seeing how they do business, she used Liz and Ellie to help buy a new home and sell her old one. She will happily share her experience with you! During her free time, you may find Rebecca identifying native plants in the woods, visiting relatives in Maine, or helping to take care of her family's 2 guinea pigs, the betta fish, and the leopard gecko. |
