Amanda Hester

Keller Williams Realty River Cities

Looking to sell your property, buy a new home, or just need some expert real estate advice?

About
I’m Amanda Hester, a full-time REALTOR® licensed in both Georgia and Alabama with more than seven years of experience serving buyers and sellers throughout the Columbus/Fort Benning, Phenix City, Smiths Station, Fort Mitchell, Harris County, and surrounding markets. I consistently operate a high-volume real estate business, averaging approximately $18 million in annual sales volume.

I have been recognized for my production year after year, earning the East Alabama Board of REALTORS® Circle of Merit every year since 2020 and the Circle of Excellence in Georgia every year from 2019 through 2025.

One of the biggest things that sets me apart from other agents is the level of service and personal involvement I provide. I don’t simply list a property and wait for it to sell. For my sellers, I invest in professional photography, drone photography and video, custom listing videos, and targeted social media marketing to give their homes as much exposure as possible. I also help coordinate contractors, repairs, inspections, cleaning, staging, landscaping, and other property-preparation needs so my sellers are not left trying to manage everything on their own. These are services I provide as part of my commitment to getting their homes properly prepared and marketed.

For my buyers, particularly those relocating from out of state, I offer detailed virtual walkthroughs, neighborhood and community information, honest property feedback, and frequent communication throughout the process. I work closely with lenders, inspectors, contractors, and closing professionals to help keep everything moving and to make the transaction as stress-free as possible.

As a military spouse and Military Relocation Professional, I have extensive experience working with military families, VA buyers and sellers, PCS relocations, and clients who may be purchasing or selling from hundreds of miles away. I understand military timelines and the unique challenges that come with relocating a family on short notice.

My business has been built largely through repeat clients, referrals, and long-term relationships. I believe what makes me different is that my clients are never treated like a number. I’m extremely hands-on, responsive, and honest, and I’m willing to do the extra work necessary to solve problems and keep a transaction moving. My goal is not simply to get to closing, but to make sure every client feels informed, protected, and genuinely taken care of throughout the entire experience.

Amanda made buying our first home—while living out of state—feel far less overwhelming than we ever expected. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to make sure we felt informed and confident in every step of the process. Since we couldn’t be there in person, the detailed videos she took of the home, the neighborhood, and surrounding area were incredibly helpful and gave us a true sense of the home. She even made sure we had some water, snacks, and basics at the home when we flew in from out of state after closing.

Amanda was responsive, knowledgeable, honest, and made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless from start to finish. She guided us through every detail with patience and professionalism, and we always felt like she genuinely had our best interests at heart. We’re so grateful to have had her by our side while buying our first home, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly!

We are currently working with Amanda on both buying and selling. I knew she was gonna be my realtor before I knew I needed one after witnessing the hard work and dedication she puts into each client. She goes the extra mile every time.

Amanda is wonderful! She was always in communication, listened to our wants, needs, and desires, managed our PCS timeframe, and negotiated a fantastic deal on our home. The entire process was smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend her.

I cannot say enough great things about Amanda. She has been working with us for almost two years, and throughout that entire time she has been incredibly patient, dedicated, and supportive. Finding the perfect home isn’t easy, but she never rushed us and always made us feel like a priority. Her knowledge, honesty, and attention to detail gave us so much confidence during the process. Thanks to her hard work and commitment, we finally found the home that feels right for our family. We are beyond grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a realtor who truly cares.

We recently worked with Amanda while moving from Hawaii to Columbus, GA, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience! As first-time home buyers, we had our share of questions, but Amanda made the process smooth and enjoyable.
From the start, Amanda was responsive and kept us updated, despite the time difference. It was reassuring to know we could reach her anytime.
Her supportive and educational approach empowered us to make informed decisions without any pressure.
Amanda also expertly managed behind-the-scenes issues, keeping us in the loop while minimizing our stress. In the end, she helped us secure an amazing house at a below-market price and facilitated a quick closing process, allowing us to move out of hotel living sooner than expected.
We highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Her professionalism and genuine care for her clients truly set her apart.
Thank you, Amanda, for making our home-buying journey a great experience!
