Hi, I’m Amy Mikeal and as a parent of four I know how important the right environment is for raising a family. It’s my goal as a Realtor to help every family find their perfect place to grow and thrive. I take great pride in not only my real estate knowledge but also my previous experiences in the home appraisal and construction fields. As a young wife and mother I personally supervised the construction of our first family home and that in turn spurred on my passion for reality. I began my journey in the home appraisal field then shifted my focus later on as I grew more interested in other areas including mortgage loan processes. Originally from upstate NY, my family and I moved to the Catawba Valley region when I was in middle school. I immediately fell in love with the people and surroundings that reminded me of the beautiful area where a large number of my family still live. Currently, when my parenting skills are not in demand, I keep myself busy by volunteering with my large church community and at my church's youth group. I also love finding time to relax and just mow the yard. Seeing a beautifully mown lawn gives me a great sense of satisfaction.

I am able to advise my clients on any needed repairs, potential remodeling, and what to be cautious of in the home buying and selling process. I enjoy the outdoors, spending time with my family, and expanding my knowledge of the current real estate market. I love being a broker because I get to meet new people and help them make a meaningful life decision.
