About Me

Amanda Hines Realtor®

Growing up as the daughter of one of the most prominent real estate brokers in Southern Indiana, D.J. Hines (C.F.O. of Schuler Bauer), Amanda Hines was surprisingly slow to embrace real estate as a career option.  IN fact, she was bound and determined to avoid the business!  But her father, being the salesmen, finally convinced her to give it a try.  Seems he knew she had the right stuff to be successful in the business.

Amanda certainly has the right stuff, and she's earned most of it the hard way.  Her life is a tribute to what can be accomplished when challenges are met head-on and one refuses to give up.  As a single teenage mother, Amanda learned about the importance of dependability and doing the right thing.  She also learned about hard work.

While it has not always been easy, Amanda feels blessed for having had the experience.  It taught her the importance of keeping family as the focal point in her life.  A devoted wife, mother, daughter and sister, family tops her list of priorities.  In fact, her family is the very foundation of her success.

Always "on the go", Amanda leads a very active life.  She volunteers to help out with both her son's sporting events,  and feels a duty to serve others.  As her professional success grows, so does the demand on her time.  A full-time Realtor, Amanda is active in the Southern Indiana Chamber of Commerce and the Home Builders Association of Southern Indiana.

Upholding the highest standards of customer service to clients, while maintaining a caring and loving home life is not easy, striving for balance is often a challenge.  But challenges are nothing new to Amanda Hines, they keep her energized each day and passionate about the future. 

Amanda has extensive experience in sales having held direct sales and business development positions in the telecommunications and temporary employment industries.  She obtained her real estate license and joined Schuler Bauer in 2000, entering the business as a part-time agent while working full time as a Employment Program Coordinator for the Southern Indiana Chamber of Commerce.  Success came quickly as she achieved over 2.4 million in sales volume as a part-time agent.  Amanda decided to pursue real estate full-time in 2002, and the decision paid off as she achieved 2.2 million in sales.  In 2003, she sold 5.7 million with a focus on higher-end residential properties.  In 2004, Amanda sought out the challenge of working with first-time home buyers.  She achieved the same number of transactions while mastering how to meet the unique need of first-time buyers.  In 2005 she became a Top Producer with the company selling 9.2 million in sales.  And in 2006, again being a Top Producer, sold 8.8 million in sales.  As the market started to shift and change, Amanda was still able to obtain a high level of excellence to her clients, and stay in the top 10 at Schuler Bauer.  In 2007, her sales volume was 7.2 million, and in 2008 it was 5.9 million.

Amanda is a skillful negotiator and invest considerable time and money in staying on the cutting edge of trends and changes in the real estate industry.  She holds the distinction of Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), advance degree sponsored by the National Association of Realtors, focusing on the representation of home buyers.  Amanda is also a member of the Council of Residential Specialists, and holds their CRS designation, having completed advanced studies in comprehensive real estate sales and marketing.  Amanda completed yet another designation, Graduate Realtors' Institute (GRI), and advanced real estate sales and marketing program.  Most recently, Amanda has completed training in a Sales Mastery program that Schuler Bauer offered, and she completed a New Construction class that helps her better understand the building process.  She is proud to be one of the most highly trained real estate professionals in Southern Indiana.
