Meet Amy

With a customer-centric approach to business, Amy Cimetta measures her success by her clients’ satisfaction. “It’s about putting my customers first. I get a clear understanding of their goals and then I set a plan in action to achieve them. It’s about communication. I keep them updated on the market, the competition, negotiation tactics, pricing strategies, and buyer and seller psychology. It’s about feedback. I ask for input and reactions, ensuring that I am meeting my clients’ needs. It’s about empathy. If I truly understand my clients’ perspective, I can better represent their interests. It’s about a work ethic. Ultimately, I am committed to exceeding my clients’ expectations.”

Amy’s family background in real estate taught her to appreciate the value of owning property. “My grandfather bought hotels and office buildings. My father even grew up living in one of the hotels! My parents continued the tradition. They purchased fixers that they renovated to rent out and eventually sell. They applied the same concept to the homes we lived in. They found good deals, and improved on them to build equity and future value.”

Amy’s career has roots in sales & marketing. After graduating from Tufts University, she worked in advertising sales for 4 years at the flagship publication, PC Magazine, and subsequently, Computer Reseller News, while simultaneously earning her MBA in Marketing & Communications from Fordham University. Her clients included Dell and Texas Instruments.

She relocated to southern California in 1998 where she worked in ad sales at Variety, the #1 entertainment trade publication. as an Outside Sales Rep and Director. She built relationships with the talent agencies and helped craft their advertising strategies. In 2003, she was recruited to a theatrical design agency, Faction Creative to spearhead their sales, marketing and business development efforts, bringing in new clients including Sony, Newline, HBO, and PBS.

In 2006, Amy decided to start a new adventure, building her own business in the real estate industry. Her strong foundation in sales and marketing, significant client management skills, experienced negotiating, and storytelling experience from the creative industry, armed her with a comprehensive set of skills to find great success in real estate. She hing her Broker’s license with RE/MAX Estate Properties and in March 2018 moved to Vista Sotheby’s Intl Realty.

In an effort to maintain the highest level of service, Amy is committed to continuing education. Along with her MBA in Marketing & Communications, she has multiple Real Estate designations, and she regularly attends seminars and classes to keep up on the latest market trends and technologies. Her background in sales and account management has fine-tuned her negotiating and customer service skills.

It’s the combination of all these elements that enables Amy to skillfully handle each real estate transaction. Her acute attention to her clients’ needs and a creative yet strategic approach to each property she sells, sets her apart. Her clients are thrilled not only with the financial results; they appreciate the experience and Amy’s ability to minimize stress by providing thorough guidance, allowing them to make the best decisions for their situation. “Buying or selling a home is a huge financial and emotional endeavor. I’m honored to work with people during one of the most important events of their lives. I can’t imagine doing anything else; I love what I do.”

When not selling real estate, you can find Amy on the beach playing volleyball; playing with her dogs Cali MaryJane and Max; volunteering with LA Works; rooting for the NY Yankees, spending time with friends and family. She is determined to one day play the guitar although she claims to be tone deaf.
