Her connection to Cardiff isn’t just generational; it’s personal, lived, and enduring. Today, Amanda carries that legacy forward, honoring her family’s history while remaining deeply connected to the community that raised her. It’s this rare blend of heritage and local knowledge that gives her a genuine understanding of what makes Cardiff-by-the-Sea not just a place to live—but a place to belong.

Amanda helped me purchase my dream home! She was extremely knowledgeable about the housing market in the greater San Diego area and was so kind and patient as I took my time to narrow down my desired north county neighborhood. Once our offer was accepted, she truly outdid herself throughout the escrow process. She made sure I understood everything I needed to, and took anything off my plate that she could. She was the absolute best realtor I could have partnered with as a first time home buyer! I’ve already recommended her to two friends.
What My Clients Say
I recently had the opportunity to work with Amanda as her buyers lender. In my 35 years in the mortgage business as a loan officer I have never worked with anyone more proactive, attentive, and intelligent. Amanda is very nice to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to buy or sell real estate.
I just recently bought my very first home and was lucky enough to get recommended Amanda as my realtor through a friend. Amanda made this process so easy for me. As a first time buyer there’s so many unknowns and questions, but Amanda was there to answer all my questions and guide me through the process. She is personable, professional, attentive, and very proactive. Amanda worked tirelessly to make sure every single part of buying my first home went well and she went above and beyond. I strongly recommend Amanda and speak very highly of her! Thank you again Amanda!
