About Me

Hello there! This real estate biz is quite the adventure, and I'm enjoying every bit of it. As an extroverted people person, finding ways to connect has always been my thing; whether I was bartending or serving tables, teaching kids their first guitar chords, singing my songs in a coffee house, joking around backstage (sometimes onstage, let's admit it) doing theater, or sitting around a fire in the backyard, I've always been my most happy, authentic self just being with and enjoying other people. And being a Realtor is definitely no exception. I get to use my outgoing, people focused personality to team up with my clients and help them navigate their rocky real estate road! My style of service is personalized, detailed and very focused on care and communication. So whether you're a freaked out first-time homebuyer or a long-time homeowner looking to sell, I've got you covered. And, perhaps as importantly, we will have so much fun along the way! Let's grab coffee sometime and chat--that's enough about me, let's talk about YOU!

Amanda and Doni's First Home!

Amanda Mai /

Doni and I are so excited to be looking for our first home together!  Though we are sad that we had to postpone our wedding until next summer due to COVID, it really gave us this wonderful opportunity to invest in our future together by quitting the renting game and becoming home owners a year earlier than we had planned!  Even though our wedding is pretty far off now, we would be so thankful if you would consider contributing to our down payment as an early wedding gift.
