While still working in new home sales, Amanda once had a difficult time selling a floorplan for a new construction condo building in Chicago's West Loop because potential buyers couldn't picture themselves living in the empty space. She partnered with a furniture rental company, and was amazed at how quickly they were able to transform the vacant condo into a beautiful furnished model.

Amanda and her family are often found at their oldest daughter's basketball or volleyball games, or at their youngest daughter's dance competitions. They are also big fans of live music and enjoy attending as many concerts as they can.
