Amanda Middleton – Agent Spotlight Bio

Amanda Middleton is a creative soul with a love for beauty. These characteristics have found expression in various avenues throughout Amanda’s life, beginning with her choice to study music at Lee University. Although she loved being able to travel the country and other parts of the world with her singing group, Amanda realized that a full-fledged career in the music world was not for her. She spent the next 5 years in Nashville working, before moving back home to Mobile to be near family. After moving home, she realized Mobile had hardly any bakeries at that time and her entrepreneurial spirit kicked in! Amanda began making and selling cupcakes at Mobile’s downtown Saturday market, Market at Cathedral Square, and it was such a hit that plans for a storefront were quickly put into place. And that’s how Twist Cupcakes was born! Amanda describes it as one of the most wonderful times of her life. Within 2 years, she had opened 3 locations and was selling several thousand cupcakes a day. Amanda operated the business for 7 years, but after marrying and becoming pregnant with her firstborn, she knew she couldn’t keep up the all-consuming pace anymore, and began thinking in a different direction.

Real estate was without a doubt Amanda’s first choice for a more family-friendly career. She loved how as owner of Twist Cupcakes, she was her own boss and could set her own hours–something that real estate would also afford her. And her favorite part of owning a bakery was the pure joy of watching someone take a bite of something beautiful and delicious that she had created: seeing someone’s delight was the best reward. Real estate for Amanda feels the same way. When she walks into a house with her client, and their face lights up with excitement for their future life there, it is such a fulfilling feeling. Amanda’s artsy talent for creating a home also makes her and real estate a perfect match! She remembers first walking into the empty space where her bakery would be located, and how much fun it was to build out and design that empty room from scratch. With a wall here, some paint there, and carefully chosen furnishings, Amanda made it feel like home. And that is something she loves to do with her clients as well: transform an empty house into a beloved home.

Amanda is married to Travis Middleton and they have two beautiful young children, Scarlett and Maddox. While neither Travis nor Amanda are particularly handy when it comes to renovations, they love trying their hand at home improvement projects. With help from their amazing fathers who have taught them something new with each project, they’ve seen great results! Think installing kitchen subway tile in two of their homes, building their beautiful back deck with cable wiring, and replacing wire shelves in the closet with tasteful wooden shelving. Amanda also loves finding antiques for a steal, and transforming them into real showstoppers with some fresh paint and mercury finishing. While some projects have turned out to take several weeks instead of a couple hours on a Saturday, Amanda and Travis have both enjoyed the process and learned a lot along the way. Whether it is for her family, friends, or clients, Amanda is doing what she was made for when she creates something beautiful and gives it to someone she loves.
