About Amy

Experience, results, communication, and client satisfaction are the core benefits my clients receive when they work with me. I know it is a challenging decision on whom you choose to represent you in your home’s sale or purchase. You have to balance out who has significant experience, the right strategy, and consistency to create the desired outcome. My team has represented over 1,000 families in the Greater Fredericksburg Region! Over 80% of our business comes from repeat clients and their referrals! If you are looking to sell your home, it is vital that the agent you are working with has a strong inventory and sales history. They must be able to generate buyers for your property in a timely and effective manner, often in out of the box ways, and then be able to negotiate the best outcome for you and your family. My list price to sales price ratio and listings sold versus listings taken ratio is higher than the average agent and the overall average on the MLS. My days on market average is 48% fewer than the MLS average which increases money in your pocket, enhances your negotiation strength, and reduces the stress of the home sale process! These statistics prove my system is effective and creates the results that are a large part of the reason my clients hire me time and again. If you are looking to purchase a home, your choice of agent can make or break whether you end up in your dream home! Every agent can open a door, but not every agent has knowledge and understanding of the market in a way that gives you the best opportunity to purchase the home you want, for the best price and the best terms. Is the agent you are considering an expert in multiple offer situations and negotiations? We are! You may not think that this market continues to generate those situations, but it does and you never know when you will encounter them. My team has invaluable skills that provide you with the latest knowledge, negotiation techniques, and success in purchasing the home that will be one of your largest investments. As a native of Spotsylvania, I know and love this area! I attended Chancellor High School and then obtained my B.A. in Communication at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. I am a mother of two wonderful sons and the wife of a dedicated former Marine & law enforcement officer. I am an avid equestrian and am a huge animal lover. My family and I own a local farm, where spending time together and caring for our animals is truly our passion. That same love for home and community carries into my work—it’s my greatest joy helping clients find their place here!

We were originally concerned about selling our home so close to the winter and holiday season, but with Allison's professional advice and tireless effort we had a buyer within five days of listing. We felt confident and optimistic the entire time we were working with Allison. We highly recommend her!
