What AMANDA'S Clients Say

I knew Amanda personally and got on her mailing list. Through personal conversations and the information she sent I felt confident she would be the right agent for us. Amanda is very knowledgeable and if there happens to be something she isn't sure of, she is willing to ask questions to gain the knowledge needed. Amanda is personable, professional, and always willing to go the extra mile. Overall, this home buying experience was positive and enjoyable with Amanda as our agent!

Amber B

Amanda Smith displayed a high degree of professionalism throughout this home buying process. Amanda is meticulous and has a high attention to detail, in addition to being prompt in responding to all forms of communications in a thoughtful, detailed, and comprehensive approach. Amanda was definitely great to work with, she lessened the stress, and she provided excellent customer service. Amanda provided excellent overall sales experience, which meant a lot to us, as we were able to quickly build a solid rapport, which in turn greatly assisted us in purchasing our very first home seamlessly, and with less stress! As such, we would highly recommend Amanda Smith for your next home buying process.

Rios & Stone

Amanda is the best! I have a tendency to get anxious about everything and she was so calm and reassuring. I have been told how stressful buying a house is and how terrible the experience can be but I never once experienced this. She negotiated an incredible deal on my new home, and I’m now writing this review while looking out at my new yard, something I never thought I’d have! Her communication and willingness to work with my crazy schedule was so helpful! Everything went so smoothly, even the slight hiccups that popped up were easily handled. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Amanda!

I work with Buyers and Sellers. My priority is my client’s experience. I strive to make their transaction as stress-free as possible. I learn about a client’s priorities, needs, and future plans. We can then work as a team to find the best fit for them.

I help clients realize their dream of buying and selling their homes with an effective combination of Southern charm and PNW tenacity. I love to win for my clients with a calm demeanor and a smile.
