A native New Yorker with over 20 years of real estate experience, Amanda leads Young Team Advisory, which consists of her sister CC and Laura Kawwa

Over the last several years, the Team was ranked in the top 1% of national small teams by sales volume in "Real Trends: America's Best Real Estate Professionals". Other achievements include $82.1 million in 2022 and 2023 transactions, and the highest price per square foot achieved for Upper West Side new development in 2018; in addition, Young Team Advisory was ranked #13 in the country by Wall Street Journal/REAL Trends 2015 for Team Average Sales Price.

Amanda was previously an award-winning broker at Brown Harris Stevens where she spearheaded sales for 101 West 78th Street. Prior to that, she was the top-producing agent representing Macklowe Properties and CIM in the sale of 737 Park Avenue and 150 East 72nd Street - two Upper East Side luxury condominiums. Prior to that, Amanda was a Vice President of the Corcoran Group - consistently ranked in the top 1% of NRT brokers nationwide and one of the firm's top ten brokers on the basis of monthly volume. She began her career at Brown Harris Stevens where she earned the 2002 Rookie of the Year award and became the firm's then youngest-ever Vice President.

Amanda attended the Spence School--where she is an inaugural Co-Chair of the LGBTQIA+ Alum Affinity Group, a former Co-Chair of the alumnae Outreach Committee, and a proud former parent. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Middlebury College, cum laude with honors. Amanda is also a graduate of the Real Estate Board of New York's Master's Program, and a former REBNY teacher.

"I worked with Amanda when purchasing a home in New York, and I can't recommend her highly enough.

We started unsure about my own goals--whether to rent or to buy, and she helped me reason through the decision using both data from the market and a thoughtful examination of my preferences and lifestyle. When it came to buying--which itself was fraught with considerations (neighborhood, size, need to renovate, and more)--she brought the same rigor to helping me determine what we should be looking for.

And when it finally came to making an offer, she took a very data-driven, informed approach, so much so that we achieved what I thought was the optimal outcome (seller hesitation because of multiple bids that were close but eventually a win for us--we got the result we wanted but not by overpaying too much).

And both before and after close, she and her team were incredibly helpful in my getting set up in a new city--everything from figuring out utilities to great partners (legal, general contracting, and otherwise). 

Navigating all of this from the opposite coast would have been incredibly challenging, but Amanda made it almost effortless."

"Amanda has represented our family in numerous real estate negotiations including the purchase and sale of three cooperative apartments in Manhattan, as well as the rental negotiations on a luxury property in Brooklyn. In addition to her work on our behalf, when my Father-in-Law needed to sell his Greenwich home,, Amanda was our go-to resource.. She helped to identify the perfect partner for a complex sale and was our coach and guide behind the scenes.

Amanda is a partner of the highest caliber--patient, creative and thoughtful, she navigates complex business negotiations and challenges with grace and grit. It is a true pleasure to work with her."

- Sarah Smart, Managing Director, JP Morgan Chase

"I worked with Amanda over the course of two transactions, both a purchase (Greenwich Village) and a sale (UWS) during COVID, which was obviously a little stressful. I went to Amanda because of her extensive knowledge of the real estate market, and specifically, the UWS, and I was not disappointed. Somehow she was able to do both the purchase and sale during the spring and summer of 2020. 

Amanda was extremely enjoyable to work with. She was patient and understanding throughout both transactions. I highly recommend her."

- Kimberly Rosenthal, General Counsel, eg+ Worldwide

"We have been working with Amanda and her team for over a decade. Amanda held our hands through the purchase of our very first apartment in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, and helped us strategically sell the same apartment 10 years later. 

We love working with Amanda, as she is candid, kind, and incredibly experienced. Amanda would never tell us anything she doesn't know to be 100% true. Instead, she will research whatever the topic may be, whether it is neighborhood comps, financing, or the state of the market, and get back to us within hours with a new extraordinary depth of insider knowledge of the current situation.  

All of her experience aside, Amanda is a lovely human and someone that we adore spending time with!"

- Chandra Silver, Production Finance Executive, A24 Films

"Happy to recommend Amanda and her team, Amanda was a pleasure to work with and her insights--from staging, to pricing. to negotiating--were spot on and invaluable in the sale of our condo. We were concerned about listing in an uncertain market, but Amanda navigated it expertly!"

- Ian DiBernardo, Chair, IP Litigation Practice Group; Co-Practice Group Leader, US TechnologyGroup at Brown Rudnick LLP
