Amy DeTine's Bio, Specializations, Awards

To be successful in business, your clients and the service you provide for them have to be your number one priority. My commitment to my clients goes beyond their immediate need to purchase or sell real estate - in many cases it is the beginning of a relationship that will carry over for years to come. My goal is to be their most knowledgeable "one stop shop" for everything in Ellicottville and the surrounding area - and that makes your buying or selling experience as pleasurable and stress free as possible. My introduction to Ellicottville and Cattaraugus County began the same as many of our visitors' - I came from my home in Buffalo to ski and later made it my home! Many more years ago than I can admit, I was drawn to the beauty and character of the area with its quaint and charming village, and beautiful ski resorts - a small town with all the cosmopolitan tributes of a big city!

My husband, Ted, and I live in Great Valley, just on the southern edge of Ellicottville, where we actually enjoy a view of Holiday Valley from our home. Our quiet creek-side setting is also home of the TLC Ranch, where my husband, and apprenticed horse trainer in natural horsemanship techniques, has thoroughly spoiled our four beautiful paint horses, Cyanne, Cherokee, Chesapeake, and Shiloh. An even more spoiled golden retriever, Waylan, rounds out the immediate family with a steady stream of visits from children, grandchildren, siblings, friends, and horse lovers, in general.

My father used to tell us that our animals had a better life than we did - for us it's the animals that enrich OUR lives and the lives of people around us!

When we're not tending to the horses, my husband and I hike every day - rain or shine, sleet or snow - with Waylan in tow. On the trails around the ski slopes and surrounding state land trails, we often snowshoe in the winter months, and occasionally our horses will find their way to the trails with us.

Tending to a busy real estate career, family, and animals leaves little time for golf and skiing, but a resident of Ellicottville cannot live here and NOT golf or ski -- so an excuse to get out there is always welcome, and always taken advantage of!

What my clients say

Our house was very unique and not an easy sell for the area. Amy appreciated the value of our home and the land and was determined to market it to the appropriate audience. Throughout the process Amy was in close contact with us to keep us fully informed. We appreciate Amy's honesty and hard work and Jersey Hollow is the third house Amy has sold for us over the past 10 years.

In a word FABULOUS!  Knowledgeable, friendly, very responsive, not pushy, listened closely to our requests so that her suggestions expanded our search in the most helpful way.  Went above and beyond for us.

We recently completed the purchase of a vacation home. Amy DeTine was the agent who assisted us. She is professional, personable, and competent.  She did everything she said she was going to do and did it timely. She also stayed in touch throughout the process which was very reassuring. She was  well-spoken and wrote well which unfortunately is not a given these days. We could not have been more satisfied.

Amy diligently showed us properties for six years. Her persistence paid off this year when we found the perfect place.Amy was very helpful emailing and showing us places.

I have used Amy for my Western New York Exclusively for over 10 years.  In that time we have worked on many transactions and projects together. She always has my best interest in mind and I feel extremely well represented.  Most importantly I have ultimate faith and trust in her doing what is right for me.

Amy is so patient and honest! By far the best real estate experience I have ever had!

Our transaction took a long time due to circumstances on our side of the table, and Amy was so kind and helpful. She is a true professional.

I would recommend Amy DeTine to anyone and everyone! I have purchased 2 homes and sold 2 homes with Amy's help!  She is always on top of her game, willing to do whatever it takes to make the buyer/ seller happy! She is very responsive to all your needs and was always willing to accommodate as much  as she could! She is a wonderful person to work with and you can tell she enjoys what she does!
