Meet Amy McKissick | Realtor and Interior Designer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Amy McKissick and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Amy, how do you think about risk?
I believe that risk is integral to living a fulfilling life. It’s the one thing you have to embrace if you want to catapult yourself from living an ordinary life to living an extraordinary one.

Is it frightening at times? 100%

I practiced as a Family Nurse Practitioner for over 20 years and then totally pivoted my career to being a business owner, realtor and designer.

But what frightened me more was staying where I was for the next 20 years.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My work as a realtor and an interior designer is a perfect match. I have the ability to see what a house “could be” and convey that vision to my clients.

Sometimes it takes a little bit of coaxing, but they eventually are able to see the beauty that lies just underneath the contractor grade finishes in a home.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
On a weekend, these are your MUST DO’s in the Columbia area:

Antique shopping at The Red Lion and ReFind

After shopping, pop into Tazza for a bite of lunch. I recommend the sausage and spicy honey brick oven pizza

Flower shopping at Fern

And then for supper, finish the day with a French 75 and lamb macaroni and cheese at Terra’s

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Huge “SHOUT OUT” to my husband, Drew.

His unwavering support and daily reminder to “go do what you love” has helped make my crazy dreams come true.
