    My real estate journey began when my family and I moved from busy Toronto living to a smaller city. The change sparked my passion for helping sellers and buyers find the right homes and feel confident throughout the process. My approach to real estate is grounded in integrity, empathy and commitment to personalized service. I believe in forging genuine connections with my clients and going above and beyond to exceed their expectations. When you work with me, you're not just another listing-you're a valued partner. I take great pride in working hard for my clients, going the extra mile, being available whenever you need me.

    Outside of work, I love nothing more than spending time with my husband and children and uncovering the hidden treasures within our community. Whether personally or professionally, I thrive on building connections, nurturing relationships and making a meaningful difference.

    Working with Amanda was a fantastic experience from beginning to end!

    We were hopeful first time buyers looking to enter the market at an EXTREMELY challenging time. Competition was high, inventory was low and the overwhelming feeling to take action or miss our chance completely was incredibly stressful. 

    Amanda took the time to get to know us, our wishes and our budget. When budget constraints began to tighten up, she opened our eyes to beautiful new areas we hadn't been considering before. She was very quick to respond to questions and always available to show us potential homes of interest with the soonest appointment we could get, again the competition was high! Ultimately we had our third official offer accepted within a fantastic neighbourhood in South Barrie and we couldn't be happier. This home is a perfect starting point for our young family as we enter the market and we owe our success largely to the guidance & market expertise provided by Amanda. We know we have a very talented Realtor on our side whenever we're ready to explore our next investment and we would recommend that you trust Amanda to guide you as well. Amanda - we cannot say thank you enough

    “Maria is both kind and knowledgeable, which are key qualities in a realtor. She knows the local market well and helped me set the right price for a quick sale, just as I had requested. She also recommended reliable contractors who offered fair prices and timely service. Maria ensured the photos of my cottage were top-notch, and she prepared professional handouts for showings. She managed all the paperwork efficiently, making sure everything was correct and stress-free. Her attention to detail and professionalism made the sale of my old cottage I had loved for years and years so much easier!”

  • Nicole & Drew

    I worked with Amanda and Maria on both the buying and selling end.  Their expertise, dedication, and attention to detail made the entire process seamless. When I was buying, they allowed us to take our time and did not rush the process. They guided us through every step with patience and care. When it was time to sell, Amanda and Maria worked tirelessly to ensure we got the best outcome possible. Their knowledge of the market and genuine passion for helping clients is unmatched. I couldn’t have asked for better partners.

    DescrIt was such a pleasure working with Amanda. As first time home buyers, we were unfamiliar with the process of purchasing a home, and the challenges that came along with it. Amanda’s devotion and dedication to finding us the perfect home made it a breeze. Amanda consistently ensured our journey was a meaningful and valuable learning experience, and kept us in the loop the entire way. Her efforts and time that she gave us never went unnoticed and was very evident in the quality of homes she showed us. Getting into a highly competitive market and moving from Totonto to Barrie was quite scary and intimidating, however, Amanda’s empathy, communication and strong negotiation skills always made us feel reassured and confident we would succeed in purchasing a property. Her personable and professional qualities are admirable and we would highly recommend her as your agent. Amanda will not find you a house, she will find you your dream home, in a community that best suits you and your family. We cannot thank you enough, Amanda! iption goes here

    Working with Amanda and Maria to sell our home was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish. Having two realtors supporting us throughout the process made a world of difference. There was always someone available to answer questions, provide reassurance, and keep everything moving forward smoothly. Their teamwork gave us complete confidence that no detail was being overlooked.

    One of the standout aspects of working with them was the staging support they provided. They offered thoughtful, strategic staging advice that transformed our home and highlighted its best features. It made such a difference in how the property showed and ultimately helped attract strong interest from buyers.

    What really set Amanda and Maria apart was how they proactively removed so many of the common pain points that make selling a home stressful. From coordinating showings and managing timelines to handling negotiations and paperwork, they streamlined every step. They anticipated challenges before they arose and guided us through each decision with patience and expertise.

    Selling a home can feel overwhelming, but with Amanda and Maria, the process felt organized, supported, and even enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful for their professionalism, dedication, and care. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their home—you couldn’t ask for a better team by your side.
