Amy is amazing. When my wife and I moved to Auburn, Amy was super resourceful and helped us get to know the area, the different developers, and subdivisions. Communication is excellent and she goes above and beyond. Negotiations with the seller were excellent and the closing process was extremely smooth. We had such a good experience and we can not recommend Amy enough. We used her again to buy a lake house this year.

Craig Godwin

Amy has been our agent and friend for many years, she helped us buy our first home as well as two other homes since. She is so amazing to work with and makes the process fun. She is direct and honest which is the best thing when buying and selling homes. She works so hard and is a true master at what she does. She really cares about her clients and that really makes all the difference!

Melissa

Amy was helpful, knowledgable, and made buying a home so much fun! We were building in a new neighborhood from 10 hours away – Amy went to meetings we couldn’t be at, FaceTimed us, and helped pick out all of the small details to make our home perfect! She asked questions that we didn’t think to ask and made the buying process a breeze!

Amy is a fantastic real estate professional who is extraordinarily focused on finding the perfect home for her clients. She is thorough, dedicated, and hard working. Her knowledge of the Auburn and Opelika area is unmatched. We couldn’t have been better represented on our new home build and I would recommend her to anyone in the market to buy or sell a new home. She is awesome!
