Amanda Alejandro is the President, Owner, and Founder of The Realty Shop—an independent real estate company built to modernize how agents grow and how clients experience real estate.
With nearly two decades of full-time experience and a nationally recognized sales career, Amanda has built her reputation on results, strategy, and market expertise. She has successfully guided buyers, sellers, investors, builders, and developers through transactions ranging from everyday residential moves to luxury estates, custom builds, land opportunities, and complex off-market deals.
Recognizing the flaws in traditional brokerage models, Amanda launched The Realty Shop with a clear mission: create a smarter, stronger platform where agents receive real mentorship, real opportunity, modern marketing, and the systems needed to build sustainable careers. Today, the company has grown into one of the recognized independent brokerages in the St. Louis region.
Amanda is known for combining high-touch service with forward-thinking strategy. Her approach blends local expertise, negotiation strength, integrated media, digital marketing, and modern technology to help clients make smarter decisions and achieve stronger outcomes.
Beyond brokerage leadership, Amanda is focused on expanding Realty Shop Luxury—a specialized division serving luxury homes, custom new construction, private opportunities, and strategic seller representation throughout St. Louis’ most sought-after markets.
Her leadership philosophy is simple:
Serve at a high level.
Operate with integrity.
Create opportunity.
Deliver results.
Whether mentoring agents, representing luxury clients, advising builders, or marketing exceptional homes, Amanda continues to challenge outdated industry standards and raise the level of what clients and agents should expect.
