Meet Our Staff at Shelby!
Emma Shows - Bookkeeper
Emma has worked for RealtySouth for over 10 years. Before coming to the Shelby Office, Emma was the Office Manager for the Rocky Ridge Branch for 8 years. As a former Realtor herself, Emma intimately understands what it takes to process contracts and closings (and generally fix all of our messes!) and loves her job as the"guardian angel"of all of the deals that pass through the Shelby Office.
Originally hailing from Jackson, MS, Emma attended the Univeristy of Oklahoma where she majored in mathematics. She has been married to her husband Robert for almost 31 years and they have two daughters, one son, one grandson Brendan and one granddaughter Julie (not to mention their Akita named Kippi). In her free time, Emma enjoys reading, cross stitching, woodworking and sewing but her favorite thing in the world is spending time with her grandchildren!
Joyce Lynn - Office Staff
