Amanda Howard

Just wrapped up an stimulating strategy & goal session off-site with my incredible leadership team! 🔥 Though T & I have lead these in the past, this was by far the most engaged, intelligent, and exciting sessions we have ever led. The key reason being we had three people who came with well thought out goals, and big visions for themselves, the company, and our agents.

Its a special thing to see everyone aligned with the same vision, basing all decisions on the betterment of others, and ready to drive forward together.
Stay tuned for the next big moves—we’ve got something special in the works that’s sure to turn heads!

I am thrilled to share a momentous achievement within the Amanda Howard Sotheby's International Realty family. After seven remarkable years of commitment and dedication, Ianni Nicolaou has been selected to be the Managing Broker for the brokerage!

Ianni's journey with us began at the forefront, where he diligently contributed to our team's success. His path later transitioned towards specializing in new construction, and his passion for real estate, coupled with remarkable leadership skills, propelled him to establish and lead his own team, leaving an indelible mark on our company and the clients he serves.

Witnessing Ianni's growth and accomplishments fills me with immense pride. His evolution from a dedicated team member to a successful broker is a testament to his hard work, expertise, and the values that define our brokerage. Here's to the next chapter of success for Ianni!

🌟 Motivation for a Healthy Holiday Season! 🌟

'Tis the season for joy, gratitude, and maintaining your health and wellness journey! 🎄✨ As we dive into the holiday festivities, here are some reminders to help you stay on track:

🍏 Balance is Key: Enjoy the holiday treats, but remember that balance is your best friend. Indulge mindfully, savoring each bite, and opt for nutritious choices whenever possible.

💪 Move and Groove: Don't let the holiday hustle keep you from moving your body! Schedule short, energizing workouts or take a brisk walk to keep that positive momentum going.

🍽️ Smart Choices at Celebrations: When faced with a feast, fill your plate with a variety of colorful, nutrient-rich foods. And don't forget to stay hydrated—water is your secret weapon!

👥 Accountability Partners: Share your health goals with friends or family members. Having a support system encourages accountability and makes the journey more enjoyable.

🧘 Mindful Moments: Amid the holiday rush, find moments of calm. Practice mindfulness, deep breathing, or a quick meditation to stay centered and focused on your well-being.

🎯 Set Realistic Goals: Define achievable health goals for the holiday season. Whether it's maintaining your current routine or making small adjustments, realistic goals set you up for success.
Remember, your health is a gift worth cherishing, and the holiday season is an opportunity to celebrate it in every way! Let's make conscious choices, embrace the joy of the season, and keep our well-being a top priority. Cheers to a healthy and happy holiday journey! 🎁🌿

As we gear up for the final stretch of 2023, let’s embrace this mantra; “Finish Strong”.

Whatever last month threw your way, keep pushing, keep striving. This last day of November, here’s your focus if your feeling a little lost:

1.) Finish your business plan or Goal setting by end of day Dec 1. Whatever you started (or if you’ve not started prioritize it today), review what you have put together and now finalize it.

2.) Share it with a mentor or friend who will help you remain accountable to your goal.

3.) Buckle down and analyze what you can accomplish and finalize this next week. This would be who you can help before the end of year. Tie up any loose ends and help those with tight time frames to close their contracts.

Let’s make these last days, count, and close out the year making yourself proud!

Setting goals is the cornerstone of success in real estate! 🏡 As the CEO of Amanda Howard Sotheby's International Realty, I've seen firsthand the transformative power of clear objectives. Today, I had the pleasure of discussing goals with one of our outstanding agents, and it reminded me why this process is so crucial.

🚀 Goals give us direction: Just like navigating a thriving or challenging real estate market, having clear goals provides a roadmap for success. They guide us, keeping us on track to achieve bigger and better things.

💡 Goals fuel motivation: Picture your dreams as the engine that powers your success. Whether it's closing that major deal or expanding your client base, having a target in sight creates the drive needed to overcome any obstacle.

📈 Goals foster growth: The real estate landscape is ever-evolving, and so are we! By setting ambitious goals, we continually push ourselves to learn, adapt, and become better professionals. Growth is not just a possibility—it's an inevitability.

🤝 Goals strengthen partnerships: Today, I sat down with Matthew to discuss his aspirations. Understanding his goals allows us to work together seamlessly, aligning our efforts to ensure mutual success. Clear communication about objectives builds a stronger, more supportive team.

Remember, your goals are the key to unlocking your full potential in the real estate world. Let's set our sights high, inspire each other, and make this week one step closer to realizing our dreams! 💪✨

This Thanksgiving, I'm reminded that the true wealth in life lies not in properties or possessions, but in the precious moments we share with those we hold dear.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁 Today, as we give thanks for the blessings that grace our lives, let's cherish the moments spent together, the smiles that light up the room, and the love that binds us all.
👶✨ I am most touched by having my first grandchild here with us this year who is definitely adding a new layer of joy and gratitude to our celebrations. There's something magical about seeing the world through the eyes of a grandchild – a reminder to appreciate the simple wonders and embrace the love that knows no bounds.

🙏🏡 In the world of real estate, we often talk about finding the perfect home, but on this day of thanks, I'm reminded that our truest home is in the hearts of those we love. Let's appreciate the roofs over our heads and the love that fills our homes with warmth.

Work-life balance isn't just a luxury; it's a necessity that ensures our well-being and the happiness of our loved ones. As a real estate broker, I understand the significance of taking time to cherish the moments with family, to rejuvenate and reflect. It's not just about making memories; it's about fueling our spirits, so we can approach our professional challenges with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
