North Eastern Group Realty · Allen County, Indiana
You've never had an agent who's already sat in every seat at your table.
Before Amanda Blackburn ever wrote a purchase agreement, she wrote the mortgage, insured the home, and sold new construction off the plan. She reads a deal from every side — because she's worked every side.
Every side of your table
Most agents have done one job: sell houses. Amanda spent a decade doing the three jobs that decide whether your deal actually closes — then became the agent.
-
01
The banker who wrote your loan
A decade in banking — managing branches and writing mortgages and home-equity lines herself. She knows how an underwriter reads your file, what kills an appraisal, and how to keep financing from stalling a close.
-
02
The insurer who covered the home
She owned and ran an insurance agency — homeowners coverage and risk. First-time buyers still thank her for insurance moves that quietly saved them money at closing.
-
03
The builder who sold it new
As Sales Manager for Star Homes, she guided buyers through new-construction design and customization — so she knows what an upgrade is worth and where a build's price really sits.

The agent who hands you the keys

Meet Amanda
Raised in New Haven. At home in Fort Wayne.
Amanda was born and raised in New Haven and lives in southwest Fort Wayne with her husband and their two children. She's an IPFW graduate and earned a Master's in Business Leadership from Trine University.
Her path to real estate ran through the parts most agents never touch — a decade in banking writing mortgages, an insurance agency of her own, and a stretch selling new construction. When she sits across the table from you, there isn't a part of the deal she's seeing for the first time.
Reach Amanda directly: (260) 715-1115 · North Eastern Group Realty, 10808 La Cabreah Lane, Fort Wayne, IN 46845.
Questions buyers & sellers ask
Good to know.
What areas do you cover?
Fort Wayne, New Haven, Huntertown, Auburn, Columbia City, Roanoke and the surrounding Allen-County towns and NE-Indiana counties. If you're just outside that, ask — Amanda will tell you honestly whether she's the right fit.
Do you work with first-time buyers?
Yes — it's a specialty. With a banking and insurance background, Amanda walks first-timers through financing, coverage, and inspections in plain English.
Can you help me sell and buy at the same time?
Yes. Coordinating a sale and a purchase is where her lender's-eye view of timing and financing earns its keep. (Sample answer — we'll set the exact wording with Amanda.)
What does it cost to work with you as a buyer?
Sample answer — Amanda will confirm her current commission and buyer-agreement details on your first call.

A concept from Intense Visions
The page above is a mockup we built for you.
Everything on it is real and sourced from what's already public about your business. Below is the honest case for putting a site like this back on the address you already own — and what it would take.
The case for owning your site
You already own the address. Right now it's dark.
Your domain — amandablackburnhomes.com — is yours. But it was built on a Squarespace subscription, and when that lapsed, the site went with it. Today the address you own shows a single line: “Website Expired.”
A site you own outright — that can't expire out from under you.
The same address, rebuilt as a fast, always-on site on infrastructure you control. No monthly platform holding your name hostage; renewals you can't miss; and it ranks for “Realtor in Fort Wayne,” not just your brokerage's page. The mockup above is that site.
- ~28%of U.S. small businesses still have no working site — and 84% cite “don't know where to start / who to trust,” not cost.
- RentedA platform page lives by the platform's rules — reach, layout, and existence can change (or lapse) without notice.
- 24/7An owned, indexed site gets found on Google and takes inquiries around the clock — a portal profile can't.
Sources: Clutch, State of Small Business Websites 2025. Your current-site status verified directly on amandablackburnhomes.com, Aug 2026 (Squarespace “Website Expired”).
The plan & pricing
An owned website, priced to make the choice easy.
Two ways to do it — own it outright, or spread it into one monthly. Both are all-inclusive and both come in well under what a local agency charges. These are honest estimates; we confirm the number on a 15-minute call.
Most popular · $0 down
Subscription
Everything — design, build, hosting, and ongoing care — in one monthly. 12-month minimum, then cancel anytime.
- Custom site on your own domain
- Edge hosting, SSL, backups, uptime
- Lead form to your inbox + review feed
- Ongoing edits & local-SEO care
Own it outright
Build + care
One-time build, then $39/mo hosting & site care. You own the site outright from day one.
- Same custom site, yours to keep
- $39/mo: hosting, SSL, backups, uptime, minor edits
- Built on your existing domain
- No platform that can expire on you
For comparison: local agencies charge $3,000–$6,000 to build plus $99–$250/mo care; managed “website-as-a-service” runs $299–$450/mo; and a bare Squarespace/Wix subscription — the one that just expired on you — is $25–$36/mo for a site you build and maintain yourself. This is done-for-you, on faster infrastructure, at Wix-adjacent money.
Your web address
The best part: you already own it.
Your domain amandablackburnhomes.com is registered to you — the site just lapsed. Step one is simply renewing it and pointing it at the new build; there's no new address to buy. If you ever want a campaign or vanity address alongside it, these are open today:
- amandablackburnrealty.com
- blackburnhomesfw.com
- amandasellsfortwayne.com
Availability checked Aug 2026. You don't need any of them — keeping the name buyers already associate with you is the right call.
Grow with you
The base site earns the relationship. Here's the runway.
Phase-one is the site above. When you're ready, these bolt on — priced when you want them, never needed up front.

Questions about working with Intense Visions
The honest answers.
How much is it, really?
$99/mo all-in with nothing down, or $1,500 to build plus $39/mo to host and care for it. Both are estimates we confirm on a short call — no surprise line items.
How long until it's live?
Roughly two weeks from our kickoff call, once we have your photos and content. See the timeline for the phases.
Do I own the site, or am I renting it?
On the own-it plan it's yours outright. On the subscription, you own your domain and content and can take an export if you ever leave after the 12-month minimum. Either way, the address is always yours — unlike the platform that just expired.
What does the monthly actually cover?
Edge hosting, SSL, daily backups, uptime monitoring, security, and real human edits when your details change. Not a fee that buys nothing — the thing that keeps your site from ever going dark again.
I already have a domain — and an old expired site. What happens to them?
We renew and keep your domain, and rebuild fresh on it. Nothing of the expired Squarespace needs to survive; we start from the concept you've already seen.
Can I cancel?
The subscription has a 12-month minimum, then it's cancel-anytime. The own-it plan has no lock-in beyond the month-to-month care you can drop whenever.
If you say yes
From “let's do it” to live, in about two weeks.
No mystery, no open-ended project. Here's the path — with the parts we need from you named up front, so nothing stalls. Real relative phases; we set exact dates together at kickoff.
-
Day 0 · Kickoff
A 15-minute call.
We confirm scope, which plan you want, and the handful of things only you can give us. That's it to start.
We need from you: a go-ahead, and your domain login (or we'll help you recover it).
-
Week 1 · Content & design
We make it truly yours.
We swap the placeholders for your real headshot, confirm your service area and bio, tune the palette, and lock the design you've already seen.
We need from you: a headshot, your preferred phone/email, and a quick review of the copy.
-
Week 2 · Build & review
You see it on a private link.
We wire the lead form to your inbox, set up your Google Business Profile, add local-SEO markup, and send you a preview to sign off — no surprises at launch.
We need from you: one review pass and your Google Business Profile access.

Design reference
The system we'd build you.
Here's the tailored kit behind the concept — a warm, editorial identity for a personal real-estate brand where restraint reads as trust. And because the look is yours to choose, a couple of other directions at the bottom.
Palette · warm limestone & brass
One committed accent. A warm, un-corporate neutral world.
Type · Cormorant Garamond & Source Sans 3
A luxe serif for the voice; a warm grotesque for the words.
Every seat at your table.
Source Sans 3 carries the body — a warm humanist grotesque tuned for reading on screens, in weights 400 to 650. Labels and eyebrows set the “ledger” voice in tracked uppercase, a quiet nod to Amanda's finance background. The pairing reads premium without ever feeling corporate.
Components & motif
The threshold & the key.
A single motif threads the whole site — the brass keyline and the turning key, because real estate ends with keys in a hand. It appears as the hero underline, the section dividers, the proof-band key, and the mark below.
Brand mark · a concept to refine together
A key monogram, for a brand named “Homes.”
Amanda Blackburn
Concept only — if you have a headshot logo or a color you already use, we build around it. This is a starting point, not a verdict.
You're not locked in
Two other directions the same story could wear.
We'd build one — the warm editorial one above is our recommendation. But the look is yours. Here are two genuinely different rooms the same content could live in; we'd refine whichever one is you.
Direction B · Data / big-numeral
By the Numbers
277 · 47-day · 92% — the record is the page. Steel-and-graphite with a single gold, a condensed monster-numeral face (think Anton), each stat its own hero. For when the proof should shout.
Direction C · Spec-sheet / closing statement
The Closing Statement
Your deal, itemized. A precise, ruled datasheet in document-paper and settlement-green with a mono technical layer (IBM Plex Mono) — leaning all the way into the banker's-eye precision. Calm, exact, trustworthy.
