Meet Amanda Sweeney-Jones

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Amanda Sweeney-Jones. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Amanda, so many exciting things to discuss, we can’t wait. Thanks for joining us and we appreciate you sharing your wisdom with our readers. So, maybe we can start by discussing optimism and where your optimism comes from?
I have to give credit to the man upstairs first and foremost, my faith and spirituality keeps me so optimistic that nothing can keep me down. I will always choose positivity, it starts with my mother Lee Ann Mills she raised me to be an independent lady with a mind of my own but to have a positive outlook. She always told me I could do anything I wanted to do in life, and that has always stuck in my mind and has lead me to great adventures and opportunities by not having limiting beliefs and mindset.
We all have a choice either we can look for the positive side of anything or we can sure find the negative in everything. We all should be very mindful, I am a firm believer in what we think about we bring about, so I keep myself aware of this and try to keep my mindset positive. Now am I perfect? No way, I get frustrated, upset, and down right pissed off on a rare occasion – something catches me off guard, but I don’t stay there long. I don’t want my happiness to be conditional on things happening, to determine how I act and feel, I say to myself “okay, what I want is my good vibe back” because getting pissed off it’s just going to lead to more negative things. So instead I know I have one choice, I have to buck the current of being pissed off, by deciding to go back and find my good vibes no matter what. Good vibes transform all situations even in a shit storm.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
Having always been obsessed with design, architecture, and real estate. So I decided to get my real estate license in 2020. It was a perfect fit. Now could I tie all of my past experience with interior design and construction, and use it to grow my million dollar real estate business. Wow! What a difference that has made! I can understand more than the average agent because I have been a project manager on builds-knowing your product (houses) from the ground up literally. I have always loved people and they open up to me freely, maybe because I am willing to listen and share also.
I made a splash- as they say!

National Association of Realtors research that found 75% of Realtors fail within the first

year- I knew I must not be one of those.

“I have heard my whole life-you have to think outside of the box, be creative, but then some people find me taking it too far!” Is there too far? Too creative? Too honest?
I don’t believe so. Standing out, in a sea of over 3,000,000 active real estate agent licensees in the United States- per The Association of Real Estate License Law Officials- has not been an easy task. I defiantly didn’t want to just go the traditional way of spending a fortune on buying leads- not my style- I’m frugal. I let my clients contact me when they need anything. I knew I must do something big, something people would talk about and share- make a splash, as they say. I was watching YouTube and seen a funny realtor parody video and it dawned on me- this is it- a realtor parody video!
The video inspired me so much, by Bob Tompkins-Old Town Realtor Parody Video. He is a realtor in South Carolina with ReMax. If you are ever thinking of buying in South Carolina, he is the man. I had to be the first realtor in Music City Nashville TN, to bring it-a fun parody. For this reason, I decided I had to make a parody. I picked a song (AA by Walker Hayes), re-wrote all of the lyrics to go with real estate, and found an amazing local producer in Nashville to bring my vision to life. Micah Atkinson exceeded my expectations. Micah is truly talented and amazing to work with-if you ever need anything-he is it. He works tirelessly, like I do, and he is full of ideas and passion for his work and it shows. If you feel like a good laugh, check out our video, Walker Hayes AA Amanda Sweeney-Jones Realtor Parody on Youtube. After putting the video on social media, aiming to reach the local TN market, I was surprised to received responses from a radio station all the way in New Jersey, podcast opportunities, and even HGTV contacted me wanting me to be on a show they were filming in Nashville. I don’t inspire to be a singer-lol, just marketing, hoping to reach new people who need help with real estate, and showing the world my fun side.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
I have always loved people and they open up to me freely, maybe because I am willing to listen and share also. Before you go around thinking something is a negative about yourself, see if it might be a positive. What if the one thing you thought was a little weird about you- was your biggest superpower? I used to think there was something wrong with me, that when I met people they would tell me their whole life story, sometimes crying, people get real emotional with me and say I never tell anyone this but I just felt comfortable telling you. I am happy to have this superpower and it’s called being the trusted advisor. Some people have the ability to build trust pretty much immediately. I don’t just talk, to talk, but when I have something to say, I just say it and I don’t make any bones about it and I speak up and it has been a blessing in my career. I don’t speak up unless I know it’s right, and I don’t get involved unless I know I can help. Which allows people to listen, because when I have something to say- they think okay she must mean business, because she doesn’t just fill dead air.
So just being authentic, honest, genuine, and being vulnerable has been what sets me apart. I don’t just tell people what they want to hear, I speak the truth. If your house smells funny- I will tell you, because it will be helping you never my intention to hurt anyone, just honest.
I want people to know that I have a passion for people first and foremost then real estate, when I get a listing or a buyer under contract I will work tirelessly to get your home sold and or find you a new property, it’s my mission and I can’t rest until it is completed.
I don’t just work with traditional buyers or sellers, I work with trusts and 1031 exchanges also. Not just selling Tennessee, selling the dream of homeownership, which is definitely changing lives, and I am grateful to help with that. I enjoy seeing my clients build generational wealth through real estate, I have seen lives changed time and time again, which is the ultimate reward.
Being involved in the community is also very important to me, I have found my tribe and home at The Woman’s Club in Murfreesboro,TN celebrating 106 years- as the legacy continues, they are an amazing non-profit, that I am so happy and proud to be an active member of.

Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?
Yes I am looking for any content creators willing to collaborate with me. Let’s help each other grow our audience. I have never done this but I am excited about it. Looking to do some videos together and share some ideas and reach a different audience. This isn’t about me, hopefully I could help other artists, creators, business people, and anyone looking grow their reach and opportunities through my connections and following. Let’s collaborate, you don’t have to be in real estate to reach out. I would love to hear from you.
