Amy grew up in St. Charles, Illinois so this area has always been Home. She started riding when she was 8 years old, and has gone from trail riding and open shows to showing on the Appaloosa Circuit at Regional and National levels. Prior to selling real estate, Amy worked for a real estate appraisal firm for 12 years as the Office Manager. While she didn't have her appraisal license, this job gave her invaluable experience as it taught her about appraising; how to choose comparable sales and make adjustments to arrive at a market value. It also taught her how to run a business; administrative duties, customer service, bookkeeping and managing. Amy obtained her real estate license in 2014 and started selling residential homes. In 2018 she upgraded to a Managing Broker License and decided to focus on Farm & Ranch type properties. That is when her business really grew and she realized this was what she was meant to do. Recently she formed the Farm Ranch Team and her goal is to continue to expand the team, as needed to keep up with demand. Amy also recently obtained the Accredited Land Consultant (ALC) designation thru Realtors Land Institute (RLI) and plans to expand her listings to include larger parcels of land. Amy currently resides in Kendall County on the 5 acre farmette that she and her husband, Joe, built in 1996. They currently have Appaloosas, Quarter Horses and cats. She is a member of the National ApHC and Longcreek ApHC, NAR, IAR and RLI.

Amy is a true professional with a superior understanding of the market and rural properties. She was like a trusted friend who I knew would give us great advice and do what is best for us! We should have listed with her sooner! Thank you, Amy for making the whole selling process simple and successful. You are a true blessing to all!

Amy was wonderful and professional the entries selling and buying process, we were excited to use her for the selling of our old home and purchasing of our new home. She was very knowledgeable and communicated the entire process and was reachable for any questions or concerns we had. Her support staff, Amy Roach in particular was a great assistant when we were looking at house and Amy was unavailable due to other obligations. I had previously saw Amy's yard signs and knew I wanted to work with someone who had experience selling farmettes/ranch properties. I would 100% recommend her to others.

Amy and her team know what they are doing when it comes to horse properties. They came up with a price based on her deep knowledge of horse properties and their unique amenities, presenting me a detailed market analysis. Then she formulated a comprehensive marketing plan to get my property out there on several platforms. SHE GETS RESULTS - my property was under contract within 2 weeks for a higher price than I originally thought possible. She helped me every step of the way leading to a smooth closing.
Compared to other brokers, they know the market and have the experience and results to back it up. Their approach to pricing and listing farm properties allows Amy and her team to be able to fully communicate the value of the property to prospective buyers. You need specialized Realtors for specialized properties – and Amy is just the ticket.
