Amanda Stokes

Amanda is very professional and an expert at her craft. She is very organized and communicates very well! She is well connected and knows all the inns and outs of the market. She does a great job of pointing out what to look for in houses and making sure you understand what that means.

We decided to sell our home and we went back with Amanda Stokes since she originally helped us find this home. We have eventually sold the home, but communication wasn’t as smooth as we had hoped. She is a fine agent and it may not be specific to her, but I struggle when agents act like you work for them instead of the other way around. Multiple times we were told to contact the buying agent directly by Amanda. That seems to be our agents role. There were several times when I wondered what our agent fees were covering ($46,000+ total between the two). I appreciate an agents input, but ultimately it is our home and we are paying for her services. We bought a home four hours away from the one we sold and our buying agent was the exact opposite. She could not have been more understanding, accommodating, and reflective of our wishes. We bought the new home before we sold the home with the Amanda and I know the agent we used to buy our new home set a high bar which impacted my perception of Amanda, but I do not think I should expect less either way. Selling a homes stressful and the agent should be asking questions to seek understanding.

Amanda has done a great job in helping us find our new home. We have used Amanda as a realtor in the past and she works nonstop to get what the customer wants. This time she helped us to sell and buy a house. We were very fortunate that Amanda got our house listed and we were under contract in seven days. Then she helped us get our new house under contract in less than a week. Amanda helped us with finding painters and movers to help us make the transition as smooth as possible. She was also available by phone calls and texts when we had any questions. I would highly recommend using Amanda Stokes as a realtor. She will help you get what you are wanting.

When Amanda sent us the home we’d been waiting and praying for we reached out immediately. She got us a showing within 2 hours. Her expertise of the market and negotiating skills got us an accepted offer in just 2 days. She fought for us like a bulldog in negotiating with the sellers and was always on top of what was best for us. She guided us through complex contracts with ease, explaining everything in plain English, which gave us so much confidence. Amanda was always incredibly responsive, answering every call and text, and kept us updated on every detail along the way. We appreciated her honesty and how she always made time for our many questions, no matter how big or how small. Her expert ability to communicate with all the home inspectors and contractors made the whole process easy. Purchasing a home can be very scary but Amanda took control, made it fun, and handled all the worries for us. She went above and beyond by giving us contacts with reliable contractors she has worked with for improvements we wanted done. Amanda made the transition to our new home perfectly seamless. She was friendly, professional, and a delight to work with—she truly made this a great experience. We feel she built a great relationship with us, and we now consider her a family friend who we can call on for her many talents and assets. We will definitely be sending our family and friends to her.

Working with our real estate agent was truly an exceptional experience from start to finish! She went above and beyond to help us get our house ready to sell—offering great advice, thoughtful suggestions, and hands-on support that made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Her expertise and eye for detail helped our home look its absolute best, and we felt confident every step of the way. Not only did she exceed our expectations with the sale of our home, but she was also incredibly helpful in guiding us through the purchase of our new one. She listened to what we wanted, offered honest insight, and made sure we found the perfect fit for our family. Her communication, professionalism, and dedication are unmatched. We are so grateful for everything she did for us. If you’re looking to sell or buy a home, we cannot recommend her highly enough!

Found Amanda on the internet when we were living in FL. Visited the Hickory area and decided this was where we wanted to be. We spent over a year trying to sell our house in FL and Amanda suggested an agent in our area. Had a contract on our house in less than a month and are happy homeowners in the Hickory area. Amanda stayed in contact with us the whole time and was a driving force in negotiations to buy our new home. She has expert analysis on the area and has helped us even since we moved.
