WHO I AM

Native Houstonian with a Passion for Houston's History and Houses

My name is Amanda Blanch and I was born and raised in the Houston area. I have singularly focused my professional endeavors within the Real Estate and Property Management arena.

After attending Baylor University, I followed my heart for adventure and relocated to Boston, Massachusetts. There, I worked in brokerage management and as a licensed marketing assistant for one of the area’s top real estate agents. From there, I took my desire to provide exceptional customer service into property management where I had the privilege of working along side and caring for our active duty military and DoD civilians. Over five years and 3 military installations in Massachusetts, Texas and Virginia, I leased and managed Army and Air Force housing to countless active duty service-members and their families. 
 

After all those years living away from Houston, truth be told, I was homesick and finally chose to relocate back to Houston with my husband, Nick, and my two dogs and cats in 2015. Since then, I have worked for Griffin Realty & Associates Team as Director of Client Services. In this position, I gained a wealth of knowledge in Transaction Management and Negotiations, a deeper understanding of my community, and developed proven systems to assist clients with their home sales and purchases. In 2019, I transitioned my skills over to Sticks & Bricks Realty, where I will be able to train an assist new agents in the growth of their real estate career as well as provide tailored services to my dedicated clients. 

​

In my spare time, I enjoy discovering new and old things about Houston, touring local breweries, learning about non-profits and philanthropies changing our world, and plugging into my faith. I also am addicted to self-help books and podcasts. I had the honor of attending and graduating from the West Houston Leadership Institute in 2017, Co-Chair of WHLI Auction and Fundraising Committee, as well as a Founding Committee Member for the Career Connections Education Project in partnership with WHLI.
