About three years ago my wife and I decided to move out of our little basement apartment and find a "real house." The basement worked fine for our first few months of marriage, but we needed to upgrade to more space. We had been friends with Amanda for some time and she had helped us with budgeting and financial advice, so we turned to her for help getting into a new house.
It wasn't long before Amanda's search process found us a great town home option. We went one day and looked at the place that would be our home for two and half years. As soon as we walked in I had the sense that "this is it." Turns out I was right. We were very grateful for all of Amanda's diligent work in the process to find us a place that fit all of our needs.
At the beginning of this year, we decided that we wanted to make another change and once again talked to Amanda about our options. We were expecting our first baby and our needs had changed for that reason. Amanda immediately went to work on finding us yet another place to live.
After a few weeks of searching, we found yet another place that had the immediate feeling of home when we walked in. It was the perfect layout for our needs, a great area and a nice yard. We knew that with God's help and Amanda's expertise we had a good shot at getting this wonderful house. So we prayed and waited for something to happen.
What was different about this second place was that the agency listing the home were far less professional in their processes than our previous management company, so there were several hiccups in the process. In spite of all the difficulties and hurdles, Amanda consistently went to bat for us to make sure that we were informed, well covered, and got the correct lease and deal that we needed. We got the house after what seemed like a long struggle.
We have now been in that house for over a month and couldn't be happier. It has provided for us the space, peace and privacy that we needed. Our daughter's room is almost ready, and we are enjoying every day of preparation.
Throughout all of our dealings with Amanda, we know that she makes good, godly decisions using the wisdom God provides. We know that she prays for her clients to find the right place, and trusts God's provision throughout the whole process, even through extreme frustration and uncertainty. That is why we are so thankful for Amanda's role in our lives as our real estate agent, our financial advisor, and our very good friend. We have seen God work in so many ways through her ministry, not just for us but for many of our friends as well. I know that she will continue to bless so many families through all that she does. Thank you Amanda for serving God and for serving others so well. We love you!
