I'm so grateful to be a member of this amazing organization!

Please join us in welcoming Aislinn “Ace” Becktold!

As a mother of two sweet girls, a crochet artist, and a Spokane resident for the past ten years, Ace brings heart, dedication, and a true spirit of service to everything she does. She transitioned into real estate in August 2025 with a strong commitment to advocacy and client care, treating every transaction as a privilege and guiding her clients through their homeownership journeys with both professional expertise and genuine empathy.

Ace is already making an incredible impact in her real estate career. Within just six months of becoming a licensed broker with Keller Williams Realty Spokane, she was recognized as the #3 Top Producer for closed units in February 2026 — an impressive reflection of her hard work, talent, and commitment to excellence.

Before entering real estate, Ace built a remarkable thirteen-year career in secondary education in both Oregon and Washington. She taught 7th–12th grade English and social studies, while also serving for six years as a curriculum study facilitator. Through that work, she developed strengths in negotiation, project management, leadership, communication, attention to detail, and adaptive problem-solving — all of which now serve her exceptionally well in navigating contracts and supporting clients with integrity and care.

Ace is also deeply passionate about education and community involvement. She serves as a WSHFC-Endorsed Homebuyer Course Instructor and is actively involved in several committees within Spokane Realtors®. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in U.S. History and a Master of Arts in Teaching from Eastern Oregon University, and she is currently maintaining a 4.0 GPA while pursuing a Master of Arts in English at Southern New Hampshire University. Looking ahead, her goals include becoming a state-approved real estate instructor and eventually earning a PhD in Technical Communication and Rhetoric from Texas Tech University.

We are so excited to have Ace as part of our community and cannot wait to see all the incredible things ahead for her.

Welcome, Ace! We are so glad you are here.

Best place for comfort food in Spokane, WA? Hands down it's Ferraro's. Get the fettuccine alfredo, and I ask them to jazz it up with chicken, onions, mushrooms, and broccoli. 🧑‍🍳😘

Beginning with the end in mind: in K-12 classrooms and residential real estate transactions.

This is a skill that I was blessed to develop early in my teaching career: if we can backwards-engineer a unit of study to help students hone new skills, then we can craft actionable, attainable plans for each lesson or activity. Students are far less likely to get burned out on the learning process or ask, "Why are we doing this?" if they are shown in advance how any "pain points" directly prepare them for a summative assessment, a heavily-weighted performance task, or a life skill. I took a lot of cues and advice from veteran performing arts and elective teachers and applied those pieces of wisdom to the English and social studies content I shared with my own students. The content itself was always just the vehicle we used to help students arrive at or approach mastery of a new skill set.

The successful learning gains I observed after following this paradigm for 13 years in the classroom inform nearly every aspect of my interactions with my current and prospective real estate clients today. I'm not satisfied with setting a goal of just helping someone buy or sell a house. For buyers, each person's specific intentions for their short- and long-term use of a property determine the type of financing they might need. Their hobbies, interests, occupations, and family plans--in addition to their budgetary constraints--all contribute to the specific locations they may want to visit. For sellers, it's imperative to garner a complete picture of what their net proceeds might need to accomplish for them and their families. Sellers' available physical, mental, financial, and emotional capacity for the preparation, marketing, and showing of the property often dictate the strategies a Realtor might employ. Finally, the time that a client has to devote to the process on either side of a transaction should influence the pacing and pricing of the offers they need to submit or accept.

While the vast majority of agents honestly say their favorite part of the job is helping people, I've noticed that the best agents are those who become familiar enough with each client's unique set of life circumstances to deftly guide them through the liminality of a real estate deal and embark on what we hope will be a successful new life chapter. It's an integral step to take the time to collaboratively define--and occasionally revise--an end goal; this helps consumers keep the big picture of what they are trying to accomplish in mind. An effective agent must see themselves as the party primarily responsible for appropriately managing expectations and intentionally scaffolding the various aspects of the purchase or sale of a home.

I see this new career as a good fit for me because I still have the privilege of helping people learn new skills and accomplish important goals, all through beginning with the end in mind!

One of the coolest things about being a Realtor is developing the ability to mentally pivot between the "big picture" for a client's goals and the granular details you can observe about a home or a neighborhood. We learn to notice lots of patterns of behavior and property presentations in an effort to circumvent disaster and prevent simple miscommunication. But sometimes there are big and unfortunate ways the constant chaos and unpredictability of the natural world wreaks havoc on our manmade plans in this area--think windstorms or wildfires. And there are also tiny ways that nature attempts to remind us that we can't control everything--think kitty prints in concrete or dandelions on a manicured lawn.

It's important for someone like me, a self-avowed control freak, to stop planning for a moment, take a deep breath, and notice that it's ok to not always be in charge of things. Sometimes the happy accidents improve the original plan!
