About Amy Ranae Dills

Amy bought her first house back in 2010, where she had a TERRIBLE experience. Not only was she on a tight budget, but she was also super pregnant with her first child, and had NO IDEA what she was getting herself into. She burned through several real estate agents VERY quickly who decided she wasn’t worth their time, she felt pressured to just pick the house.

Living in that house and fixing it up as she had time and resources really gave her a sense of pride in ownership. Despite her circumstances, she found time to paint and update the house room by room. By the time she sold it three years later, she was hooked on projects and couldn’t wait to find her next fixer-upper. On her first day in real estate class, she knew she had found her calling. She couldn’t wait to get out there and start seeing houses. Amy took the leap and quit her job to pursue real estate full time and she helped lots of people buy and sell houses and have fun while doing it! 

Then Amy started Brick & Banister Real Estate Co. so she can continue to help buyers and sellers, but also help real estate agents learn how to be successful in this business.
