Continuing education is important to Amanda to stay up-to-date on today's real estate trends and practices. Amanda holds designations including ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative), SRES (Senior Residential Real Estate Specialist), and e-Pro. Her former career as a feature film script supervisor required great attention to detail to manage the continuity of each major film department. The same management skills are used today to guide The Horton Team to service clients in a successful sale or purchase. Amanda's degree with a media emphasis brings the studied background of effective marketing outreach. She has designed a strategic marketing campaign for listings that has proven highly effective. Utilizing forward technology backed by a strong team and brokerage support, Amanda is dedicated to providing the highest level of client service from the first meeting to well beyond the end of a transaction.

Alongside Jace Horton, they are within the top 5% of agents in Laguna Beach. Amanda has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Orange Coast Magazine and Nominated several times for the prestigious Women in Business Award.
Despite the demands of the profession, she remains active in her community sponsoring various events and reaching out to help others in any way that she can. After all, it’s what we put into action that matters and it’s a strong community that builds the friendly coastal neighborhoods around us. While she’s not helping others, you can find Amanda spin cycling to dance music, golfing at The Ranch, leading Girl Scouts or gathering with friends and family in her hometown Laguna Beach.
