about Amanda
Amanda Jean Garcia was initially drawn to real estate because it provided her with the flexibility to balance her career with being a mom when her children were young. She carefully designed her real estate schedule around her family, and now offers clients in Lake and McHenry Counties an unmatched combination of market knowledge, attention to detail, and deep commitment to client satisfaction. Amanda provides full service throughout the home-buying process, offering a network of trusted professionals, community involvement, and strong negotiation skills to secure the best price and terms for her clients. She also leverages social media heavily for lead generation and marketing.
Amanda is making her return to real estate after being diagnosed with breast and lung cancer in 2010, which led her to step away from the industry. During that time, she ventured into the beauty industry, owning a salon for 10 years, but eventually found herself longing to return to real estate, a passion she never lost. Now, with her children grown, Amanda is excited to focus on her career again and share her love for home design, renovations, and local community hotspots.
Known for her green eyes and self-confessed "water snob" tendencies, Amanda is dedicated to her fitness routine, never missing a cycle class. She is also a proud "cat lady" with four cats of her own, who even have their own Instagram account. In addition, Amanda devotes time to volunteering and fostering cats for her local shelter, showing her deep care for the community both personally and professionally.
