About The Bates Group

"Amanda is an absolute wonder woman! She not only got me my house for under asking price, but then sold my house for over asking price. She is very knowledgable about the market, a fierce negotiator, incredibly generous with her time and expertise, and above all, she is caring. She will ensure that you not only get a quality home that fits your needs, but also ensures you have a quality experience in what can sometimes be a stressful and complicated process. I highly recommend her!"

-Angie May

"My wife and I have already recommended Amanda to a friend who were just as happy with her as we are. Amanda was able to give us insights on neighborhoods we weren’t all that familiar with. She has a contractor list that provided a trusted contact for anything we needed for our home. She was very clear about the process and setting expectations along the way. She even introduced us to a new favorite coffee shop in town! We will definitely be calling Amanda if we have any real estate needs in the future. "

-Reggie Woods

"Amanda and Patrick worked with us for over two years to find our home. They were always responsive and helpful with any questions that we had. They helped us steer clear of bad deals and write a solid offer to finally secure the best house for us. They even helped us by hiring cleaners before we moved in. I’d recommend them to anyone looking in central Alabama."

"Amanda and her husband Patrick helped us find the perfect house. I cannot recommend working with Amanda enough! It was like having a close friend walk you through the home buying process. As first time home buyers, she was so informative and helpful. She and Patrick made the process as smooth and stress free as possible, answering any question, big or small, and helping us make our offers as competitive as possible. We cannot thank them both enough!! If you are looking to buy or sell a home, PLEASE do yourself a favor and work with Amanda and Patrick!!!"

-Allison Hill

"Amanda made the home buying process easy and efficient. She was available around the clock to answer questions, show homes, and remind me of deadlines! Her advice is spot on. All of my friends use her expertise, and we’re all so happy we did!"

-Lindsay McDuffie

"I can't tell you how reassuring it feels to buy a house with Amanda Bates in your corner. Amanda has a wealth of knowledge of Birmingham and surrounding areas far beyond what I expected when I first started looking to buy a house. She loves the area and her enthusiasm is contagious, which makes looking for a new home fun and exciting. 
Amanda easily strikes the right balance of warmth and professionalism and her dedication to her clients puts her heads and shoulders above any other realtors I have worked with. I carry Amanda's business card in my wallet since I recommend her so often to friends and family."

-Brannon Queen MD

"We were in a situation where we needed to go through the process of buying a new home *sight unseen* from the other side of the country during Covid travel restrictions. Amanda was amazing every step of the way, and not only found us exactly what we were looking for, but also seamlessly and confidently led us through the process in a really tough market. I never felt confused or out of the loop, and she really went above and beyond for us. She was even there the day we rolled into town and walked into our new home for the very first time! 100% recommend."

-Melanie Smith

"There are not enough wonderful things I can say about Amanda and working with her on selling my house. She is friendly, smart, and truly cares about the people she works with. Amanda became a friend of the family through the process. I will definitely go to her when I am ready to buy my next home!"

-Leslie Cooper

"We live several hours away from the property we wanted to sell, and Amanda was SO helpful! She personally took care of some minor repairs needed and helped us find an affordable cleaning crew to do a deep clean after the renters moved out. She checked in regularly so we were always in the loop during the listing, negotiating, and closing process.

We would use her again, no question"

"If you’re looking for an agent who will bend over backwards to find the gem you deserve, you can stop searching. Amanda Bates knows the Greater Birmingham area like the back of her hand. She is so patient and wonderful to work with! This was our 3rd house buying experience and our 2nd house selling experience, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. You will not regret hiring her!"
