Amanda Cox is no stranger to entrepreneurship. From owning a women’s fashion boutique and fast food sandwich shop to owning multiple rental properties in the past, she has shown the leadership qualities and tenacity to thrive and succeed. And now, she’s taking the Lubbock real estate landscape by storm.

Amanda and her family moved to Lubbock in 2020. Because she has been self-employed her entire career, her creative mind began contemplating her next move. Reaching out to the agent who sold their home, Amanda inquired about staging homes as a potential source of income. The agent suggested getting her real estate license and staging the homes she sells. “Needless to say, I have never staged a home, but have sold many,” she laughs.

Amanda started on a team with her now broker, Siairra Tharp. And when Siairra became a broker at Southern Magnolia Real Estate, Amanda knew she would follow her. Their bond dates back to early in her real estate career, but Amanda also feels that the brokerage is a place of community with the support and encouragement that her broker has fostered. Siairra speaks very highly of Amanda, “Her dedication and integrity in both her personal and professional life continually amaze me,” she remarks. “Watching her succeed and seeing how she handles every situation with grace and wisdom fills me with so much pride as her broker.”

Amanda was born for this role. Her first transaction came from a social media post when she first got her license. “An investor friend reached out and trusted me to find them the perfect house,” she recalls. “Just starting out, it was such an honor. And that is where she feels the most fulfilled with what she does, stating that finding that perfect home or investment property is just as rewarding as the relationships she forms with her clients. 

Amanda is married to her high school sweetheart, Tyler, and they just celebrated 20 years of marriage this past June. Together, they raise their 14-year-old son, Creed, and they are an adventure-seeking family. Creed is an avid fisherman, and the whole family enjoys hunting. Their most recent excursion was a trip across the South Pacific to New Zealand. 

While Amanda thoroughly enjoys their trips, she also loves what she does and is extremely grounded — not only in her work, but also in her faith, which she credits as the motivating force in her success. She prays that God is seen through her in her invitation to one of the most important decisions in people’s lives. While she has already built a firm foundation for her career, she plans to continue strengthening it. She elaborates, “I hope to continue to learn and grow, striving everyday to be who the Lord has called me to be and go where He calls me to go.”

Amanda has a genuine heart and appreciates even the little things. From having coffee at Ninety Two Café, enjoying the ambience with a client, to finding unique closing gifts at Barque Gifts (and topping them off with a sweet treat from Crumbl Cookie), Amanda shines in the details and focusing on relationships with her clients. Not surprisingly, her clients rave about her approach to the buying or selling experience, and they keep coming back for more.
