Hi! It's Me, Amy.

I have been blessed to build the business of my dreams over the last 22 years. I have helped thousands of clients navigate & exceed their real estate goals. I have assisted & mentored my agents & employees to find financial freedom they never knew possible. We have been the highest producing real estate team in SD since 2017 & I personally am the highest producing agent in SD. We rank in the top 50 in the nation for transactions sold by teams by Wall Street Journal’s Real Trends. 

My husband & I own a team model brokerage & grow our market share by leaps & bounds each & every year.  We have built a system centric, client focused business being our clients lifetime home support partner. 

(My hunky hubby & I). 

But, here is the sad truth that will make me so very easy to judge; this was all accomplished at the detriment of my kids, my husband, my family, my friends & my body. I have missed more of my children's events, games & parties that I can even remember or care to think of. My marriage has been pushed to the bottom of priorities, been nearly broken, been fixed, then broken, mended... you see the trend. My friends (who have stuck around) & my family (they are stuck with me, so….) have been robbed of my time & presence year after year. My body has been pushed to the max with secondary infertility & seven miscarriage, likely from the massive amounts of stress, lack of sleep & taking care of it myself physically & mentally. You will cringe when you read this next part, but I actually started miscarrying one time while writing a purchase agreement & instead of doing the sane thing, going into the hospital, I stayed, while in massive contractions until it was all signed...yes, gasp.

That, my friends, is not a way to live. Which is why I created ASRE Academy.

One of our wins is the fact that I have asked at nearly every stage in this beautiful game: how can this be done better & easier with the same success? And then I created a system around the answer & extracted efficiencies for a better life while still providing the same professionalism required.  

It has allowed us to scale beyond our wildest dreams & that is what I want for you. I want you to be able to enjoy the same type of success without the failures that stubbed our toes or the time lost with your loved ones. I am creating a gap-free, blueprint model of growing your real estate business with the systems, lead generation, proven value propositions, team growth & scaling strategies & affiliate income avenues so you can copy & paste it into your business. 

Friends, I have a proven step-by-step roadmap for you to grow your real estate business fast & efficiently.  You want in? 

Want to get to know me a little better? Here is the truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth, so help me God:

I have a healthy love affair with Florida. I LOVE beaches, all of them, sunsets, all of them, baseball, being outside & being active & of course my kiddos & hubster & my love bug golden Cooper. I could eat nachos for every meal, pinot noir is my fave & creating & implementing gives me a warm fuzzy every time. I can’t stand being cold, HATE chili on nachos, I mean come on! I have a healthy fear of elevators & disorganization drives.me.fricken.BANANAS. 

(my loves) 

 
(makes my heart so happy)

(Cooper also makes my heart happy, too) 

I started out in the real estate world over 22 years ago straight out of college not knowing what in the heck I wanted to do with my life. My dad owned a real estate brokerage at the time & even though when I was 16 years old he told me, after finding out I got a tattoo of a butterfly on my ankle (yeah, I was super original), that no one would want to hire a girl with tattoos, he hired me. $24K/year for an admin job in a dark office in the back of the building. I learned as much as I could from the ground up & within 18 months talked him into getting my real estate license to become a buyers agent for my step-mom. Teams were just starting to become a “thing” about that time. 

I fell in love with the entire process immediately. I loved being of service to people at such a fun & sometimes not so fun part of their lives. I loved the marketing, the creating, the living breathing checklists I was creating, the sky’s-the-limit potential, all of it.  I immediately wanted to do it out on my own. And, the best thing that can happen to an oldest child with EXTREME Type A (borderline adult ADD) tendencies happened: I was told I couldn’t make it on my own. It was too hard, it cost too much money, it wasn’t a smart idea, it was a lot harder than I thought...the list was long on why I shouldn’t take the jump.  Granted those that told me these things loved me & it came from a place of love. I was pregnant with my first kiddo & the days of borrowing money from my parents was fairly fresh. I can see their point now. Either way, it was the fire I needed.

I worked my (giant at the time) butt off the last 4 months of my pregnancy. I mean it was ridiculous. I was a giant pregnant woman. Ice cream every night type of pregnant woman. My cheeks were so rosy they looked like they were going to bust open. But I hustled. I took every floor time slot available, any open house I could get my hands on, read almost every book & article I could find. I had a logo created for $400 (it felt like $4000 back then) & I branded EVERYTHING. 

I picked up an investor from CA who came into town wanting to look at investment properties under $100K. I showed him over 20 homes in the middle of August in two days. He bought 5 properties & I felt like we hit the lottery. 

My son Logan was born & he attended his first closing at two weeks young & I was able to keep him with me while I worked for the first 5 months. It was magical. But not as much work got done as did cuddles. I regret none of it though. 

(Logan, 16 years later.... where did the time go????)

My “Why’s” were big & all B’s actually.  We were very close to being Broke. Five months working part-time was not cutting it. I had a very adorable Baby to help provide for & I had a giant Burn in my Belly to make something out of my life. A burning I couldn’t shut off if I tried. 

I sold 24 homes my first year as a single agent. It was mediocre at best. I needed more systems, so I created & implemented like a crazy person. I brought on my first buyer's agent, my beautiful sissy Stacy within 18 months & then added a full time assistant to replace our over worked part time assistant. 

We would run 15-25 open houses a weekend & would spend half the day Friday “out-signing” our competition with open house signs & paraphernalia. We worked insane hours, 7 days a week & survived on what we called “The Realtor Diet” of beef jerky, sunflower seeds, Mountain Dew & oodles of water (or we would be dead from all the sodium).  

I added more agents slowly & then in 2009, My husband, Adam, left the banking world to help grow The Amy Stockberger Team. Right about the time the mortgage crisis hit South Dakota. Our area did not take the hit nearly as hard as the rest of the nation, but with the absence of a reliable income, the responsibility of employees & a small kiddo at home, we felt the pressure. More times than I can tally, we would look at each other, exhausted after a long day that rolled into the evening & know what the other was thinking: “What in the heck did we do?”

That time stretched us, & we had to pivot. We tried new things, missed the mark countless times, tried more new things, failed again but kept trying. We grew from it because we didn’t have any other option. Quitting wasn’t on the table.

We grew by close to 300% the first year Adam joined me. It was amazing & uber addictive. My creating & implementing brain was on fire & I added as many unique value propositions I could get my steady Red Light (I am always the Green Light, so Adam has no other choice to be the Red Light) to let me add to our business model. 

In 2013 we had 6 agents, 2 staff members & started our transaction coordination & listing coordination departments. In 2015 we added an inside sales department & began to grow even more. Every time we have added employees, we have scaled to a whole other level. Fast forward to today where we now have a transaction department, a listing department,  inside sales members, executive assistants & our director of first impressions. 

About the same time we started our transaction coordination & listing coordination departments, we were trying to expand our little family of 3 to a family of 4. Odds were not in our favor. Having Logan when I was 27 was somewhat easy. Now well into my 30s, the term geriatric was thrown around at each fertility appointment. We ended up doing multiple runs of IVF & 7 miscarriages. 

I was still running a million miles a minute. With each miscarriage, I worked through the grief. It was my shield that filled my mind to drain out the sadness from the loss. If my body wouldn’t work the way it was supposed to I made sure I could control the things I could control which was continued growth, more & better systems & happy clients & agents. 

Needless to say, we closed the chapter on another kiddo & pressed forward. We already had a hell of a good one anyway. 

God laughed. In January of 2016, we got pregnant, no IVF, no nothing. Bewildered & excited & scared is how that year started. By the end of March I lost the baby. After that last loss we both agreed to give adoption a try. We would give it to the end of 2016 & if we weren’t chosen then, that would be God's will. 

By June, a sweet momma in Louisiana told us she was picking us to raise her baby boy. Over.The.Moon. Legend Isaiah was born in September of that year. Almost exactly 9.5 months after learning we were pregnant again without help of fertility. God is so good!!

(first time holding my sweet babe, Legend) 

By this time we were still working under an independent broker, we were kicking ass & growing each year while continuing to be the leaders in our market. 

In 2019, we opened up our own brokerage with a team business model, we call our Team-erage. Our company of 15 licensed agents  & 11 staff (2 in the Philippines) helped over 550 families in 2021. We couldn’t be more proud.

I 100% x 1 million% feel if I had a roadmap, a blueprint to copy & paste, our business would be far bigger than it is now.

Which is why we are creating all of these no-gap, copy & paste bundles for you to grow your business. I would love to see you soar & get to enjoy your friends & family & serve your clients to the nth degree AT THE SAME TIME. 

Join us. I know you will be glad you did. 

HAPPY SATURDAY MY FRIENDS!!
