Get to Know Amanda Marcum

From waiting tables to becoming an award-winning real estate broker, Amanda Marcum has built her successful career from the ground up. Mostly sugar and a little spice, Amanda is focused on serving others while tenaciously standing up for her clients. Her competitive nature has proven beneficial to her career, clients, and all those that work with her. While she loves negotiating and more so loves winning, she realized at a young age that serving and giving back to the community is not only going to get you far in life but is what life is all about.

After graduating from the University of Florida with a BA, Amanda moved to Richmond, KY, to live with her only grandparent Granny Connie. It was then that the seed of real estate was planted. Granny Connie was the managing broker/owner of Prudential Don Foster Realtors and showed Amanda first-hand the value of community involvement in the real estate business. Still waiting tables, Amanda took the leap and got her real estate license. While she learned from the best, her optimism and dedication are what set her apart immediately, and after selling 12 houses in one year, it was apparent that this was just the beginning.

Being in real estate for 18 years, Amanda has multiple awards and a head-spinning number of 5-star reviews. Her competitiveness and expert knowledge of the industry, coupled with her contagious smile and bright personality, make her one of the most sought-after real estate brokers/owners in Richmond. Amanda’s inner circle consists of her husband Jack Marcum, two step-children, and five pets. With the help of her support system, Amanda has grown her real estate circle tremendously with the founding of the MARCUMsold Team. Helping over 2,000 families through her team, the act of service is still front and center in her business.

Her motto has fittingly become to "get excited about helping people!". She is regularly teaching this mantra and way of doing business to others. She has created a new standard in real estate, making it hard for anyone in Richmond to want to work with anyone else! Now more than ever, her clients, her team, and her community are continually benefiting from her generosity and outstanding success. 

Amanda Marcum is the Broker/Owner of the #MARCUMsold Team at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Foster Realtors, the oldest locally owned real estate company in Madison County. Licensed since 2008, she has guided more than 2,800 families through the buying and selling process, building a reputation as one of Central Kentucky’s most accomplished and trusted real estate professionals.

Her record of achievement is unmatched: Amanda has been the #1 Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices agent in Kentucky for 15 consecutive years, ranks in the top 0.5% of all Bluegrass Realtors®, and has led her team to a Top 10 global ranking among BHHS small teams for eight straight years. Backed by over 500 verified 5-star reviews on Google and Zillow, clients repeatedly highlight her market expertise, strong negotiation skills, and client-first approach.

Specializing in luxury homes, farms, new construction, first-time buyers, and move-up sellers, Amanda and her team proudly serve Madison County — including Richmond, Berea, and Waco — as well as the greater Central Kentucky region. Whether navigating a multimillion-dollar estate, helping design a custom new build, or guiding a first-time homebuyer, Amanda’s mission remains the same: to deliver outstanding results while raising the standard of service in real estate.
