Long before beginning her career in real estate, Amanda built a career around people. Her background in recruiting, human resources, customer service, coaching, and sales taught her how to listen, ask the right questions, work through challenges, and keep things moving when there are a lot of details involved.

Those skills translate naturally to real estate. Amanda knows that every client comes to the table with different priorities, questions, concerns, and goals. Her job isn’t to push someone toward a decision—it’s to understand what matters to them, provide the information they need, and help them confidently decide what comes next.

Amanda understands that buying or selling a home can be much more emotional than people expect.

A home might be where your kids grew up, where friends gathered around the kitchen table, or where ordinary days became some of your favorite memories. Selling can mean saying goodbye to something meaningful, while buying can represent an entirely new beginning.

Amanda appreciates both sides of that experience and brings a personal, thoughtful approach to each.

Amanda is proud to call the Brainerd Lakes Area home and loves the community and lifestyle that make this part of Minnesota such a special place to live. When she isn't working, you'll likely find Amanda spending time with family and friends, cheering on her teenage son at a sporting event, hanging out with her beloved German Shepherd, or enjoying one of the many lakes we're fortunate to have right in our backyard.

It’s that genuine connection to the area that inspired Amanda Up North.

Whether you're buying your first home, searching for what's next, or preparing to say goodbye to a home that's been an important part of your story, Amanda's goal is simple: make sure you feel heard, informed, and supported—and hopefully have a little fun along the way.

Because finding the right place isn't only about where you live.
It's about where your next chapter begins.
