- The Tale of the Starfish

Amy Wallin Price (BHS 1989) at the age of 7, helped her brother with his paper route. She got her own paper route when she was old enough and delivered newspapers after school until she was 15. That made it difficult to be in after-school activities. “What it did do for me though,” she says, “was give me a great work ethic and the knowledge that if I want something, I need to work for it.”

After graduating with honors from BHS, she earned her Associate of Arts degree in Applied Science/Accounting with Honors from Central Lakes College. She put her degree to good use working as an accountant at Brainerd area businesses Kummet Larson & Bluth, Mid Minnesota Federal Credit Union and Lakeland Mold. A brief pause in pursuit of her career was taken to enjoy raising her two daughters, Emily and Morgan, with her husband Chad. In 2014, she returned to the workforce, attaining her real estate license and becoming a full-time award-winning realtor.

Amy’s awards include the Executive Club Award at Weichert Realtors in 2017 and 2018, Weichert President’s Club 2019, Realty Group Chairman’s Group Award for 40+ transactions in a year in 2020, 2021, and 2022. Since joining Realty Group in 2020, she has been one of the top 20 agents each year out of 700+ real estate agents and earned the No. 3 spot in 2022. In fact, Amy was just named 2023 Realtor of the Year by the Greater Lakes Association of Realtors.

Amy notes, “I’ve always cared about people in need and people in their senior years. When I had my paper route, I’d stop and visit with the ladies on my route because they were lonely. Now, I use my job to be able to make sure that seniors are taken care of fairly and honestly, and given the time needed to explain the selling process. My volunteer time involves helping clients move who don’t have anyone to help them and spending extra time with them…both during and after the sale.”

Amy continues, “I take clients to dinners at The Center and other events so they don’t have to go alone. I have a client who lives in assisted living. I sold her home several years ago. We spend time together with Dairy Queens and I shop for her, as she doesn’t have anyone in town. I’m proud of the business that I have built on hard work and sincerely caring for my clients.”

Amy has been recognized for her volunteer efforts with the 2015 and 2017 Mark Sjoblom Weichert Pride Award for work ‘Above and Beyond’ customer service and community involvement. She has received the 2016 Jim Alderman Community Spirit Award, the 2018 Ambassador of the Good Samaritan Bowl, plus the 2020, 2021, 2022 Realty Group RG Citizen Award and the 2023 Brainerd Rotary Service Above Self Award.

From maintaining the flower garden at Kiwanis Park, initially built and cared for by her dad James Wallin, since his death in 2015 to helping with The Center’s infamous “doughnuts” project from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. every Thursday for close to a decade, Amy asserts, “If there is a need somewhere and I can fit it in my schedule...I’ll do it!”
