About us
Amanda King is a licensed Virginia real estate agent who chose a referral-only license for one reason: to connect people with the agent who's actually right for them, instead of selling to them herself.
Why this exists
Because we watched too many people get stuck.
Someone falls for the lake on a summer weekend, calls the first agent whose sign they saw, and starts looking. Three weeks in, it's clear the agent has never handled a dock permit and doesn't know the county line changes the rental rules.
They stay anyway — it feels rude to leave, or too late.
There was almost always someone at this lake who'd have been a great fit. They just never found each other. This service fixes that.
What we believe
Our four rules
Free means free
Never charged, never invoiced, never asked for a card. The receiving agent's brokerage pays us from a commission that already existed.
One name, not twenty
We introduce the person we actually believe fits, and tell you why. Not right? We introduce another.
Your information stays here
No lead-selling, no network, no drip campaign. One human reads what you wrote and replies.
We'll tell you when to wait
Sometimes the answer is rent a season, or look at a different part of the lake. We'd rather say so than earn a fee on a decision you regret.
How we're licensed and paid
Move to Smith Mountain Lake is run by Amanda King, a licensed Virginia real estate salesperson — license #0225273624 — with Wainwright Referrals Inc.
That brokerage is referral-only. It takes no listings and represents no buyers at closing. So "we don't sell houses" isn't a promise you have to trust — it's how the license is held.
Referral fees move broker-to-broker, which is why this has to be run by a licensed agent. Nothing is added to your side of the settlement, and everyone involved knows the arrangement. You should always know how the person helping you gets paid.
Why we don't sell houses ourselves
Our own listings would put a thumb on every scale. Staying out of transactions is what lets us recommend whoever is genuinely right for you.
What we know about this lake
20,600 acres. Five hundred miles of shoreline. Three counties with different rules. Full pond at 795 feet, the 800-foot AEP contour, the 2003 dock line, 320-plus waterfront subdivisions.
And which agents actually handle waterfront versus say they do. Who's good with condo boards, who understands septic and perc, who returns calls in August, who hears about a property before it lists. That knowledge is only worth something pointed at your situation.
Let's have a conversation.
No pitch, no pressure, no cost. Just twenty minutes to work out what you actually need and who at this lake is best placed to help.
- 100% free to you
