My experience has taught me that I serve my clients best by acting as an agent who brings trust, integrity, and accountability to each professional relationship. Working together over the course of each transaction, I use my marketing plan to help achieve each clients financial real estate goals.

When working with clients, I emphasize a strike price approach to real estate, ensuring the best financial outcome for the sale of the client or their family's assets.

I began my career with Coldwell Banker Gundaker nearly 15 years ago, and have been with the company ever since.

I earned my B.S in Business and Finance from Lindenwood University in St Charles. I am licensed in the state of Missouri, but have referral sources throughout the country. I have been in the Top1% of agents in the country the past 6 straight years and am the #1 Listing and Sales agent in the #1 Coldwell Banker Gundaker Office in St Charles County. We sell over 140 homes a year. The Wall Street Journal recognized me as the #137 agent in the nation in 2018.

My free-time is spent with my wife Elizabeth, an assistant principal in the Pattonville School District and our Goldendoodle Ernie. My hobbies include biking, reading, and collecting sports memorabilia.

Meet Amy Gwin: Your Trusted Partner in Real Estate

Buying and selling a home is more than just a transaction-it's a journey, a life-changing experience. Understanding what is most important to each client has been the cornerstone of my success as a real estate agent. My name is Amy Gwin, and I take pride in being a Realtor who goes beyond the standard, offering honesty, integrity, knowledge, and a commitment to always "do the right thing."

Just as every home is unique, so are the families, situations, and specific needs of home sellers and buyers. My primary focus is to grasp these priorities with each and every client I work with. Building on my extensive experience, I have fostered valuable relationships with lenders, contractors, building inspectors, title companies, movers, and more. As a full-service Realtor, I am dedicated to facilitating all the needs of both sellers and buyers, ensuring a seamless and stress-free real estate experience.

I am a lifelong resident of the St. Charles/St. Louis area, and my roots run deep in this community. A proud graduate of the University of Missouri – St. Louis, I had the privilege of playing collegiate sports, an experience that taught me the value of teamwork, dedication, and discipline.

My professional journey spans various industries, including the service sector, management, human resources, and business-to-business sales. However, the most rewarding occupation I've embraced is real estate. I find immense joy in helping dreams come true and providing guidance on people's most significant financial investment.

Outside of the real estate realm, I am a wife and a proud mom to my 9-year-old son, Gavin, and Chase, our sweet little Beagle-rescue dog. Our family enjoys golf cart rides to the Bark Park, golfing adventures, cheering on Gavin at his baseball, soccer, and basketball games, and simply unwinding by the pool.

I approach real estate with a genuine passion for building lasting connections. My goal is not only to assist clients in achieving their real estate goals but to make lifelong friends in the process. If you're looking for a Realtor who combines local expertise, personalized service, and a commitment to your unique needs, I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and make your real estate journey a memorable one.
