About Amanda Shepherd, MCNE, MRP, Broker Associate

Hello! I'm Amanda Shepherd and I was born and raised in Arizona. I fell in love with the beautiful city and welcoming residents of Ames when my husband and I moved here in 2010. Ames is where we have decided to raise our family and we have found a great community here.
I work with families in the Ames and surrounding communities to help sell and find the perfect place to call home, all while ensuring they have a great experience. I have been a Realtor® since 2016 and have recently (2021) received my Brokers License and am a Broker Associate with Hunziker. Becoming a Broker Associate has helped me gain more knowledge and confidence when working with clients and other Realtors®.
With the MRP Designation (Military Relocation Professional) I am able to use my knowledge and skills learned to help Military Families and our Veterans find that perfect place to call home and transition smoothly to the next journey. I am honored and excited to be able to serve those who have served our country! I also carry the CNE (Certified Negotiation Expert) Designation. As a CNE I have gone through training and continue to learn so that I am able to negotiate the best possible outcome for YOU and your family.
When I'm not helping people find their dream home or sell a home you can find me enjoying time with my family! We love to watch our two boys play sports, our daughter grow and learn new things, go swimming, camping, and take road trips! If you're looking for a Realtor® that is hard-working, dedicated, patient, and honest, I'd love to work with you too! I would be honored to be your Realtor®.
