About us
Amanda King is a licensed Virginia real estate agent who chose a referral-only license for one reason: to connect people with the agent who's actually right for them, instead of selling to them herself.
Why this exists
Because we watched too many people get stuck.
Someone takes a job at Carilion, or decides the valley is where they'll finally live near the trails, and calls the first agent whose sign they saw. Three weeks in, it's clear the agent doesn't work the part of the valley they want, or has never sold a house on a well and septic.
They stay anyway — it feels rude to leave, or too late.
There was almost always someone in the valley who'd have been a great fit. They just never found each other. This service fixes that.
What we believe
Our four rules
Free means free
Never charged, never invoiced, never asked for a card. The receiving agent's brokerage pays us from a commission that already existed.
One name, not twenty
We introduce the person we actually believe fits, and tell you why. Not right? We introduce another.
Your information stays here
No lead-selling, no network, no drip campaign. One human reads what you wrote and replies.
We'll tell you when to wait
Sometimes the answer is rent for a year, or look in a different part of the valley. We'd rather say so than earn a fee on a decision you regret.
How we're licensed and paid
Move to Roanoke is run by Amanda King, a licensed Virginia real estate salesperson — license #0225273624 — with Wainwright Referrals Inc.
That brokerage is referral-only. It takes no listings and represents no buyers at closing. So "we don't sell houses" isn't a promise you have to trust — it's how the license is held.
Referral fees move broker-to-broker, which is why this has to be run by a licensed agent. Nothing is added to your side of the settlement, and everyone involved knows the arrangement. You should always know how the person helping you gets paid.
Why we don't sell houses ourselves
Our own listings would put a thumb on every scale. Staying out of transactions is what lets us recommend whoever is genuinely right for you.
What we know about the valley
Four local governments in a twenty-minute circle, each with its own tax rate and schools. A river greenway that ties them together, Carvins Cove's 12,700 acres, the Parkway on the city's edge, and the Star lit over all of it since 1949.
And which agents actually know old houses versus say they do. Who's good with historic review, who understands wells and septic on a mountain lot, who knows the builders in Botetourt, who hears about a house before it lists. That knowledge is only worth something pointed at your situation.
Let's have a conversation.
No pitch, no pressure, no cost. Just twenty minutes to work out what you actually need and who in Roanoke is best placed to help.
