Rebekah and Lauren, hosts of the Moms of the Lou podcast, interview Amanda Brandt, a St. Louis realtor and mom of three. Amanda discusses her transition from teaching to real estate and highlights the current real estate market's volatility, noting a shift towards a buyer's market with fewer multiple offers and more negotiation power for buyers. Amanda recommends upgrades like painting, lighting, and curb appeal to increase a home's value. You can follow Amanda on Instagram for more real estate information. New to St. Louis?

Amanda Brandt is a local realtor and mom of three wild and wonderful boys: Noah, Charlie (both 7), and Milo (4, but absolutely convinced he’s 7). She grew up in the St. Louis area, spending her childhood splashing through creeks, hiking wooded trails, and falling in love with the natural beauty of Missouri. That deep-rooted love for this state still shows up in her life every day — whether exploring new hidden gem coffee shops or hiking through the countryside. Amanda & her husband Josh live in Chesterfield, and their days are full of house projects, backyard chaos, and outdoor adventures. You can usually find them covered in sawdust, wrestling in the grass, or chasing their boys through a splash pad. As a working mom, Amanda cherishes the small moments — laughter over dinner, lattes with friends, and a home that feels full of life (and probably Legos). Amanda is so grateful to live in a place that feels like home — surrounded by community, connection, and opportunity.
