When you think of a real estate agent, you might picture someone unlocking doors and filing paperwork. But according to Amanda McKnight — a top-performing agent with Carpenter Kessel under Compass Real Estate — there’s an entire world of unseen effort that goes into every transaction.

Before joining real estate in 2021, Amanda spent 12 years as an ICU nurse, working in life-or-death environments. That experience didn’t just shape her—it gave her the perfect temperament for handling high-stakes negotiations, tight deadlines, and the emotional rollercoaster that clients face when buying or selling a home.

“I don’t bring emotion into the deal,” Amanda says. “My job is to be methodical, proactive, and calm when my clients can’t be.”

And it shows. Amanda describes herself as an “active agent,” someone who takes full ownership of the process from contract to closing. She handles inspections, coordinates with vendors, gathers insurance quotes early (a major win for mortgage approvals), and acts as the emotional support system many clients don’t even realize they need.

“Too many buyers wait until the last minute to get insurance quotes,” she says. “But if it comes back at $10,000 instead of $3,000, that can kill a deal. I make sure that doesn’t happen.”

Amanda also emphasizes the power of communication. Her team guarantees regular updates — even if there’s no major news. That kind of consistent communication builds trust, reduces anxiety, and makes clients feel empowered throughout the process.

At the end of the day, Amanda sees herself as more than just an agent — she’s a guide, an advocate, and sometimes, a therapist.
