Amy Hershey couldn’t be any warmer, friendlier, or more professional – and the icing on the cake?
She stressed: “I’m a person of integrity. That is very important to me. My good name is important to me. I won’t do anything to sully my reputation – even for money. I’m also one of the hardest-working people I know, and I genuinely care about people. I want my clients to become my friends.”
Licensed for over two years, Amy has gained valuable experience working in the competitive Cleveland market, where she honed her skills as both an agent and a professional stager. Her background in staging continues to be a huge asset for her clients.
“I’ve always had a natural knack for staging,” she said. “I’ve moved around a lot and decorated my homes many times. I just have an eye for color and space – and what makes a space look open and inviting. I love transforming homes. It’s exciting for me to take a diamond in the rough and make it shine.”
Recently, Amy moved back to her hometown of Mansfield, bringing with her a wealth of experience and knowledge.
When asked what she loves about being an agent, Amy said, “I like helping people through some of the biggest life changes they’ll ever experience. Your home is your biggest investment, and there are a lot of emotions and memories attached. Sometimes selling can be heartbreaking, especially in situations like death or divorce. It takes special skills to handle those situations the right way, and I love the people aspect of this job. First-time homebuyers are also really fun. I love helping someone who didn’t think they could get into a home realize they can.”
A Mansfield native, Amy graduated from Crestview High School and served in the US Army for six years, traveling the world.
“I would have stayed in longer, but then I got pregnant with my son, and I wanted to focus on raising my family,” she said.
Amy has given her family incredible experiences. With a degree in education from The Ohio State University, she homeschooled all four of her children and lived in Europe for many years, giving them an enriching cultural education.
Having lived in Cleveland full-time for several years, Amy is thrilled to be back in the Mansfield area.
“It just feels like coming home,” she said. “I’m looking forward to spending more time with local family and reconnecting with old friends. It’s familiar and comfortable, and I have lots of good memories here.”
When she’s not working, Amy enjoys traveling, spending time outdoors, and being with her family.
When asked why she chose Sluss Realty, Amy said, “You guys are so nice. You (marketing director Jami Kinton-Sluss) and Grant were so welcoming, personable, and professional – and out of everyone I talked to, I felt the most comfortable here.”
