AMANDA DIVITO
Past President

Re/Max Alliance

At age 24, Amanda DiVito has already been in real estate half of her young life.  She began by spending countless hours filing, making phone calls and helping with paperwork along side the man who would later become her mentor and business partner.  After her initial introduction to the working world, Amanda went on to graduate from Colorado State University with a Bachelors of Science in Merchandising.  With her diploma in hand and an internship spent almost entirely in a cubical, she decided to get her real estate license.  Today, as a Broker for RE/MAX Alliance in Arvada, she is working hand-in-hand with that mentor, her father, Joe DiVito, and industry leader himself of more than 18-years.

From May 12, 2003, her first day on the job, she has had high expectations of herself and big dreams for success as a member of the newly fashioned DiVito Dream Makers, a group made up of the DiVito's, Jerry Golden and a wonderful support staff.  To her client, this live wire has become an advisor, counselor and trusted agent. 

Amanda believes serving the community is as important as serving her clients.  She is currently serving on the Jefferson County Association of REALTORS' Government Affairs Committee in addition to being a first year board member for the Builder-REALTOR Council.  Combining these efforts has allowed her to both become a familiar face with her peers and to become a knowledgeable community REALTOR friends and neighbors trust.  Amanda believes strongly in the power of goal setting, a positive attitude and the desire to be the best.  She believes that balance is key to a healthy life and a thriving business, and involves herself in social circles that have proven to be a great source for a strong referral based business.  Her knack for building relationship and her no nonsense approach have already gained her a great deal of respect in this highly competitive industry.
