Hey, I’m Amanda Lee.

I help buyers and sellers stay ahead in real estate with a results-driven approach that combines sharp strategy, dependable guidance, and a sense of compelling creativity that differentiates me from other real estate agents.

A Real Estate Experience that Feels Different

Because it is!

Collaborative

I believe that the best real estate results come from true collaboration.

That’s why I’m not just here to sell or buy a home— I’m here to partner with you. Together, you and I build a strategy that fits your needs and your vision, making sure every step feels like we’re working as a team toward your goals.

Personalized

Every client is different. Therefore, so is every plan I create. I tailor everything I do to fit your specific real estate journey. Whether it's refining details or adjusting our strategy as we go, I’m quick on my feet and always solution-focused to ensure that no matter what happens, everything aligns with what matters most to you.

There are no cookie-cutter solutions to my job— instead, my promise to you is: a personalized, thoughtful approach that, most importantly, delivers you impressive results.

Why Should You Hire Amanda Lee, Over Other Realtors?

  • Proprietary Educational Tools

    Navigating the real estate process shouldn’t feel overwhelming, though it often does for many. I believe in empowering my clients with knowledge, which is why I’ve developed a suite of proprietary tools and resources to simplify each step. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, seasoned seller, or investor, you’ll have the insights and guidance you need to feel confident throughout your journey.

  • Buyer Advantage

    As my client, you’ll gain access to more than what’s on the public MLS. I offer exclusive insights into private listings, off-market properties, and ‘coming soon’ homes that only the top 10% of Illinois realtors can access. This gives you the advantage of exploring properties before they become widely available, giving you a significant edge in the market.

  • Rooted in the Suburbs

    Raised in Naperville for over 20 years and now residing in Glen Ellyn, I know the Western Suburbs inside and out. With District 203 schools shaping my upbringing and a few exciting years spent in Chicago, I’m now back where my roots are. Specializing in suburban DuPage County, but always available for city clientele—I'm here to be a resource for you and your referrals!

Tailored Services

Buying a New (or first!) Home

Whether it’s your first home or your dream home, I guide you through the entire buying process with a personalized, detail-oriented approach.

From understanding your needs to getting creative in my search efforts to find you the perfect fit, I’m here to ensure my clients’ buying journey is seamless and stress-free.

Selling your Property

Selling your property requires so much more than just listing it on the MLS. I love exceeding my sellers’ expectations by providing my comprehensive, tailored strategies that include everything from: local market analysis, targeted & effective marketing, skilled negotiations, and more, all designed to get your property sold for the best price and terms.

Interior Design

Ask anyone that knows me, I strongly stand by the saying: “You Are Your Home.”

I believe our homes should be a reflection of us, and whether you’re redesigning your current space or planning a remodel for a new home, I offer an array of design services that balance functional purpose with your personal needs and style.

Relocation Assistance

Moving to a new city or state can be overwhelming, and that is why I have taken the time to partner with superb real estate professionals across the country in order to support and guide my clients that are moving to new towns or even across the country. My goal is to help ensure that you are able to find, close, and settle into your new home and community with ease.

Real Estate Investing

Investing in real estate is all about strategy. I work closely with my investor clients to identify high-potential properties that align with their investment goals, whether you're just getting started or expanding your portfolio.

Together, we'll maximize your returns and create long-term value.

Renovation Project Consultations

From reimagining layouts to upgrading kitchens and bathrooms, I help my clients ensure that their updates reflect their preferences while also adding resale value. Whether updating for yourself or resale, the best step is to involve a realtor early in the process! I’ll guide you on improvements that create your ideal home and maximize your return when it’s time to sell.

FAQs You Curious Minds May Want to Know

  • In a competitive market, I use a blend of sharp negotiation skills, utilization of my access to off-market listings, and completely-personalized strategies to help my buyers stand out. I’ll guide you through making strong offers, timing, and how to leverage any unique advantages you may have.

  • My support doesn’t end at closing. I’m here for any post-sale questions, from referrals for contractors to advice on settling into your new home. If you need help with anything, whether it’s finding design resources or navigating your new neighborhood, I’m just a call away.

  • Pricing a home correctly is crucial for a successful sale. I conduct a comprehensive market analysis, taking into account recent comparable sales, current market trends, and your home's unique features to ensure it's competitively priced. My goal is to maximize your return while attracting serious buyers quickly.

  • Timing can vary depending on your personal goals and market conditions. I stay on top of market trends and data to offer informed advice. We’ll have an honest conversation about your timeline, financial situation, and the current market to determine the best time for you to make your move.

  • Short answer: yes. Getting pre-approved is an important first step. It shows sellers you're serious and gives you a clear idea of what you can afford. I can connect you with trusted lenders to help you get started, and we can start viewing homes as soon as you're ready.

  • I use a strategic marketing approach that goes beyond just listing your property on the MLS. This includes professional staging, high-quality photography, social media promotion, open houses, and tapping into my exclusive network of buyers and agents to get your home in front of the right audience.

  • It depends on your goals! If you’re buying a forever home, I’ll help you focus on features that matter for long-term living, like neighborhood amenities and future growth. If it’s an investment, we’ll focus on factors like rental potential, resale value, and market trends to ensure it’s a smart financial decision.

  • I offer design-focused advice for both buyers and sellers. Whether it’s helping sellers stage their home or guiding buyers through renovation ideas, I ensure that design adds both style and value.

Happy Clients — always!

"She took the time to gather all our wants and needs to suggest places that fit us. Amanda was able to find us places that fit all of our wants in every location we were looking at. She went out of her way to show us every place we wanted to see, and made us feel like we were her only client.

When it came time to negotiate with the listing agent, she was able to get us a better deal then we expected. We would highly recommend Amanda to anyone that is looking!”
