Oh my goodness, how blessed I am, thank you, Dee


Amanda stands for AWESOME!  I first met Amanda in 2005 when I was relocating from Northern VA to the Atlanta area.    Amanda was referred to me by my daughter and son-in-law, who worked with her on the purchase of their new home.  Before even meeting Amanda in person, I instantly loved her pleasant personality.   Based on my criteria, she would send me real estate listings for the Atlanta area to prepare me for my move to Atlanta.   Amanda was successful in helping me find the perfect home.  As a first time homeowner at that time, she coached me through the home buying process.  I was very grateful for her guidance and genuine concern for me to be happy with my new home purchase.    

Almost nine years later after moving to the Atlanta area, I moved back to the Northern VA area due to a job transfer.   I was so amazed by Amanda’s work ethics and her lovely personality, that I kept her business card after all those years.   I gave Amanda a call and discussed options of renting or selling my house.  After prayer and careful consideration, I was led to put my house on the market on Dec. 7, 2013, with Amanda being the listing real agent.   I am happy to report that I closed on the sale of my house on Jan. 31, 2014.   Amanda is truly an amazing person who cares about her clients’ needs and desired outcome. 

I am truly blessed to have had the pleasure of working with Amanda for the purchase and sale of my home in the Atlanta area.   I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a friendly, great, honest, conscientious and trustworthy real estate agent who cares about her clients. 

With best regards.

Thank you, Mia

Amanda strikes again! Sold! Without hesitation, Amanda was there to assist my mother with selling her home. I had the pleasure of meeting Amanda in 2004 through my husband. We closed on our home in April 2005. I was so pleased with Amanda's service. I referred her to both my mother and in-laws with the purchases of their home here in Gwinnett county. I guess you can say she's family (smile). Her sweet personality and unwavering open heart make her stand out from the rest. Amanda knows her stuff! That's why it was an easy decision for my mother to work with her again when she decided to sell her home. We are thankful for Amanda and know she will continue to be a blessing to families for years to come.

Congratulations, Gabe and Cathryn~

The house buying process was a long and crazy process. Meeting Amanda was the best thing that could have happened to us. My fiance, Gabriel, and I are first time home buyers and had no idea what to expect. With Amanda's help and guidence she was able to find us the perfect home. Not only was she a tremoundous help, she looked out for our best interest and always had our backs. She went above and beyond what we believed the title of a "realtor" would do. At times, I believe Amanda was our sanity and convinced us we could get through it. We will forever be grateful for how accommodating and sweet Amanda is. On closing day I truly felt like Amanda was part of our "team" trying to get us into our home.

It's My Pleasure...

Back in January my husband and I, alongside our closest friends, I decided to look for a two-family home to rent together for a season while we all saved up to own our own homes one day. While at the time it seemed like a daunting task, Amanda Cole immediately made it seem not only possible, but likely that we could figure out a situation that would work for us all. Amanda helped us manage our expectations (and change them up a little if necessary!) and she also helped us manage the dirty details, all the information regarding a lease, what we should expect from the people we were renting from, what we should plan to do during the process, etc. We had hoped to be moved into a home by May but were so thrilled when we got to move in to one even sooner, April 15th! We are LOVING our situation -- the house we are in works so well for our two families... we both have our own space but still get to see one another and spend time together when we want to. We cannot thank Amanda enough for her help in not only guiding us to homes for rent but also in taking care of the "not-so-fun" details instead of having us deal with them ourselves in our inexperience. I will definitely be seeking out Amanda's help again in the future with any real-estate decisions and we would 100% recommend Amanda's services to anyone! She really is the best.

Thank you for Blessing Me with Your Friendship -

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!

First there were four and soon there will be five - - - His timing is perfect

My real estate experience: My experience was wonderful! My mind was at ease knowing that Amanda truly had our best interest in mind and continually sought to protect it.

You'll finally made it, congratulations and thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our journey working with Amanda to find our new home. She genuinely cares about not only finding her clients the right home, but cares about them as people first or foremost. We began this process with an agent and ended it with a friend. Marijo P.
