How did you get into your field?

As a young girl, I often asked my mother and grandmother to drive me through neighborhoods looking at homes and we spent many weekends visiting open houses and touring new developments. My favorite magazine was Southern Living, I would cut out photographs of the designs I liked and put them in a book to make up my dream home. After attending LSU I spent over 10 years in restaurant management and yearned for a career that afforded me a better quality of life. Real Estate seemed a natural choice since it was dear to my heart. I decided to get my real estate license and over the last fifteen years have had the opportunity to work in real estate sales, advertising, marketing, mortgage and title processing

How long have you been with Cordillera Ranch?

I have been with Cordillera Ranch since October 2013. After meeting Charlie Hill and his family last fall, I became intrigued with the development so I kept my eye open for available positions.

What is your favorite aspect of working in the Hill Country?

My favorite aspects of working in the Hill Country are the people and my commute to work. Since moving to Boerne in 2012, everyone has been genuinely welcoming and friendly, we’ve never been treated like outsiders. The other great thing about working in the Hill Country is my drive to work and the view I get to experience every day.

What are your hobbies/interests?

I love to fish, cook (I make a mean gumbo) and entertain. Anything we can do with family takes priority!

What’s your favorite sport?

NASCAR, LSU football, SPURS basketball and my boys’ baseball games.

Favorite sporting event you’ve attended?

NASCAR race in Talladega, Alabama in the Fall 2001, pure adrenaline rush for a whole weekend!

Favorite quote?

“Life’s a dance, you learn as you go”

Favorite movie and why?

Pretty Woman – Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, what’s not to love?

What has been your greatest challenge in your business?

My greatest challenge has always been to be able to balance family life and work life and learning that it’s okay if the house is a wreck when I leave for work because it will be a wreck fifteen minutes after I get home anyway.

What has been your most rewarding experience in your business?

The most rewarding experience was the first real estate sale I closed. I was able to help a young couple purchase their very first home and I felt that I’d made a difference in their life.

Favorite aspect or feature at Cordillera Ranch?

My favorite aspect of working at Cordillera Ranch is that I get the meet the most interesting people in the world!

Preferred Builders: Home Tour Highlights

We hosted yet another wonderful Preferred Builders Home Tour in late October, closing out our 2024 bi-annual event held every spring and fall. With more than 350 total attendees, this was one of, if not, our most well-attended tours ever.

Agronomy

Challenges. Opportunities. Moving Forward.

Fall has been a busy season for the Agronomy team. This important season kicks off after all the fun of the Ladies’ Ranch Roundup, when we begin our greens aerification process. At the conclusion of this process in October, we have now seen the extraordinary benefit of the deep vertical slicing (Graden device) coupled with the normal aerification of punching holes and backfilling with sand.

Outdoors

Bees and Golf Courses

A long-standing interest of mine has been the benefits of using honey and bee keeping. I have enjoyed honey since I was a child and there are many benefits of having honey in your diet. Honey contains a variety of nutrients, it’s rich in antioxidants and is better for blood sugar levels than regular sugar. Research has shown it to promote heart health, promote burn and wound healing, and help suppress coughing with children.

Amanda Naranjo

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been around the game of golf. From watching golf tournaments on TV with my family to going out to the driving range with my dad during my High School years while on the Golf Team, everything I associate with golf has been positive. I decided to attend the University of the Incarnate Word and major in Fashion Merchandising with a concentration in Business. Fusing both my passion for fashion and love for the game of golf, the golf merchandising path was the perfect path for me.
