About Amy Citrano, ABR, CLA, GRI, PSA, SRS, SSRS

Personal Background

For 19 years, I grew up and went to school in Carroll County.  After graduating from Villa Julie College (now Stevenson University), I moved to Ocean City for the summer.  Before I knew it, 9 years had passed and I was still there!  During this time, I worked on building a proficient Real Estate career by learning the business one step at a time.  I began in 1994 as an Office Associate for O'Conor, Piper Flynn (now Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage) in the Ocean City and Ocean Pines areas.  I earned my Real Estate License in 1996 and worked as a Licensed Personal Assistant for a few years.  In 2002, my life took a different direction and brought me back to Carroll County.  I feel fortunate to continue expanding my real estate career in a place I call home.

On July 31, 2019, I decided to switch real estate companies and join Berkshire Hathaway Homesale Realty.  I felt this company was on the cusp of being very sought-after by consumers and wanted to become a part of it before that breakthrough happened.  Not only was I looking to grow my business but I was also looking for better services for my customers and clients.  I love the family feel at Berkshire Hathaway, the strong managerial support and purple is my favorite color!

I am a full-time Realtor representing Buyers, Sellers, Landlords and Tenants throughout each step of the transaction.  Whether you are Buying or Renting your dream home, or Selling or Leasing your present one, I am here to guide you from start to finish.  I understand how challenging and exciting Real Estate can be - my goal is to make things easier for you.

Designations/Certifications

I am a member of the Local Association (Carroll County Realtors), State Association (Maryland Realtors) and National Associations of Realtors (NAR), the BRIGHT Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and was a Lifetime Member of the Carroll County Million Dollar Real Estate Professionals Association.  I hold the ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative) designation, the GRI (Graduate of the Realtors' Institute) designation, the SRS (Seller Representative Specialist) designation and the SSRS (Short Sale Resolution Specialist) designation.  I am also a Certified Leasing Agent (CLA), a Certified Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA) and am MD Workforce Housing Certified.  Only a small percentage of Realtors hold these designations and certifications.

Prior to being with Berkshire Hathaway, I was with Coldwell Banker.  Here are some awards I earned while with that company.  For April 2018 month to date, I was #20 in Coldwell Banker's Top 100 agents in the Greater Baltimore Metro area.  For April 2018 year to date, I was #38 in Coldwell Banker's Top 100 agents in the Greater Baltimore Metro area.  For April 2018 year to date, I was #72 in Coldwell Banker's Top 100 agents in the Mid-Atlantic area.  For May 2018 year to date, I was #69 in Coldwell Banker's Top 100 agents in the Greater Baltimore Metro area.  For June 2018 year to date, I was #94 in Coldwell Banker's Top 100 agents in the Greater Baltimore Metro area.  For September 2018 month to date, I was #100 in Coldwell Banker's Top 100 agents in the Greater Baltimore Metro area.  In December 2018, I was #1 for the Carroll County Regional Office's Top Individual Agents based on new listings and #4 for the Top Individual Agents based on sales.  For 2018 as a whole, I was #2 for the Carroll County Regional Office's Top Individual Agents based on new listings and #4 for the Top Individual Agents based on sales.
