Amanda was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama, where she had her first experience in the Real Estate industry as a Realtor's Assistant. That experience sparked an interest that would continue through the years, even as she went on to pursue long held plans to complete a Bachelor's degree in Psychology at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, Georgia. She then went on to complete her PhD in Clinical Psychology at West Virginia University and additional training in that field in Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Chapel Hill before ultimately settling in Greenville when her husband joined the ECU faculty (Go Pirates!). Amanda found that she always kept her finger on the pulse of the Real Estate market during these transitions and opted to become a licensed Realtor in 2014. Being a Realtor capitalizes on her passion for serving others and her innate interest in Real Estate. Her background uniquely positions her to appreciate the full gamut of emotions her Real Estate Clients experience as they reach success in their home buying and selling journeys. Having specialized in the past as both a Buyer Specialist and Listing Specialist, Amanda offers her clients unique insights and expertise to navigate their full range of Real Estate needs, including buying, selling, and investing. Although she represents a wide range of Clients, Amanda particularly enjoys working with First-time Home Buyers, helping them understand how to best achieve their goal of purchasing their first home. She also considers it a particular privilege to partner with individuals or families who provide, or have provided in the past, military service to our country and are looking to address real estate needs. Amanda married her best friend, Matt in 2011, whose career is what thankfully brought them to Greenville. They love their adopted pets, and they like to spend their free time indoors cooking and watching the Pittsburgh Steelers, or outdoors fishing and hiking.
