Academic Pedigree

A double major in Sociology & Public Policy at Hobart & William Smith laid the analytic foundation; a 4.0 GPA master's from NYU's Steinhardt sharpened her research discipline. Earlier chapters at Putnam Indian Field School and Greenwich Academy instilled the curiosity and rigor that guide her work today. That academic backbone now powers every comp analysis and due-diligence review.

What Amanda's Clients Are Saying

Real-world perspectives on Amanda's market insight, steady negotiation style, and commitment to white-glove service.

"Amanda is the best realtor in CT. She has connections in the best towns and has insight on what is going to be listed before it's officially put on the market. She also understands your taste and strives to only send you quality listings that fit your criteria. Before working with Amanda we had lost 2 houses in bidding wars with another realtor. Working with Amanda was a game changer. She was honest, and walked us through what it was going to take in order to get the house we wanted. She also has a big network for all the pre and post buying process. I highly recommend Amanda. She was key in helping me and my family get our dream home."

"Amanda was knowledgeable about the market, responsive to our requests and walked us through the purchase process of buying our house in Greenwich. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone buying or selling a house in Greenwich, Old Greenwich or Riverside!!"
John M
"Amanda was amazing to work with and has become a dear friend. She found us our off-market dream home in a very challenging environment. She was patient, knowledgeable and hustled for us (often we were the first to see a house). We couldn't recommend her more highly!!!"

"Amanda did an absolutely outstanding job at finding us a rental home in Darien, CT. We're relocating from IL to CT and were finding it very difficult to navigate this tremendously competitive real estate market, while not being physically present to view homes, etc. Amanda was diligent, listened to our needs and wants, found us a number of options within our criteria (which we thought was impossible) and did a number of virtual showings that fit our schedule. She was also so responsive, and we very much appreciated her sense of urgency, given our tight timeframe to find a house. I was honestly so stressed out with having to plan a move and find a home. I thought we'd definitely have to settle on a house we may not love, but thanks to Amanda's efforts, she took on all the stress of finding us a home that we did not have to settle on at all! She was also so knowledgeable about all the various towns in Fairfield County, CT, what might and might not work for us, school districts, etc. She answered all of our questions and helped us all the way through negotiations, offers, lease execution and beyond! Not only is she knowledgeable and great at her job, but she's also fun to work with! :) Amanda is quite literally THE BEST in the business! Don't know what we would've done without her. We would very highly recommend her and her team."

"Amanda is an amazing broker. She was incredibly helpful for my wife and me as we first rented a home that she helped us obtain (bidding war) and later spent a year and a half patiently and diligently helping us find the perfect home to purchase in an increasingly aggressive market. Amanda also helped us settle in Greenwich once we first moved up here from New York City and even introduced us to other families in town. It was clear to us from early on that she genuinely cared about our family and she was always available, day or night, to speak with us, answer questions and offer guidance. Amanda's work ethic, network and perspective on the market were extremely valuable to us as we shaped our preferences for the type of home we wanted and the neighborhood that we wanted to live in. We highly recommend Amanda."
