 Buying. Selling. Growing Friendships.

"Life is Short, Love Where You Live! When you have a pivotal life moment that motivates you to buy or sell your home, I want you to know that I will be there with you during one of life's BIG moments and for many years to come! I was born and raised in North Carolina, and I grew up visiting the Crystal Coast for family vacations with my dad, mom, grandmother and sisters. After one of my sisters moved here, I spent most of my weekends in Atlantic Beach from 2009-2017. I couldn't get enough, and I ultimately decided to make this beautiful place my home in 2018! I have never been so excited and felt so secure about a huge decision! I absolutely love being on the Crystal Coast of North Carolina!"

 Amber's previous career include Human Resources, Fiscal Management, Hospital Administration, Executive Coaching and Strategic Planning. Amber earned her BA in Management from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and after earning her Masters in Human Resource Management from Cornell University, she decided to step away from a full-time role in the Business & Human Resources world, move to the coast and change full-time careers by taking her passion and love of people into real estate! This has enabled her to transition from helping people love where they work to helping people love where they live, continuing to make a positive impact. As an experienced and self-motivated business leader, Amber brings 20+ years of professionalism, marketing and negotiating experience to help you find your perfect home or to sell your home with as little complication as possible. Amber's passion has always been to be a great communicator, and she loves teaching as much as she loves learning! She is committed to being thorough, to paying attention to detail and to utilizing new and unique marketing strategies for the ever-changing real estate market!

"My career choices continue to serve as my platform enabling me to help others through various aspects of life. I want to ensure each person knows that they are valued, appreciated, respected, and important!" 

Amber enjoys running, cooking, singing, relaxing on the beach in the salty air and spending time with her three dogs, her fiancé, and her sisters and their families! It has been said you can find Amber in the Atlantic Beach Christmas Parade on her adult tricycle with her Westie Bella riding in the basket as she throws out glow sticks to all the kids! 

"EVERYONE SHOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE WHERE THEY LIVE!"
