Eppel Realty

08/08/2026

We are incredibly honored that Amy Eppel and David Wayman were recently recognized by one of our associations for their leadership and involvement in our communities.

When we started Eppel Realty, one of the promises we made from the very beginning was that we would always be more than just a real estate company. We wanted to be a company that shows up for our communities, gives back, and genuinely cares about the people who make them home.

Because to us, community involvement isn’t just something you put on a resume or a list of accomplishments. It’s the little things — showing up when you’re needed, supporting local businesses, cheering on our schools and teachers, helping organizations that are doing good work, and being there for our neighbors.

Our REALTORS® don’t just serve clients, they serve our communities.

We’re proud to recognize the many community boards and organizations our members dedicate their time, talents, and leadership to. Your commitment helps make our counties stronger places to live, work, and thrive.

💙 Thank you for leading, serving, and giving back. We are proud to have you representing KIFAR both in our industry and throughout our communities!

🏡 JUST SOLD! 🎉

Some transactions are extra special, and this was definitely one of them.

A few years ago, I had the honor of helping these wonderful clients purchase this home. Now, as life has led them to their next chapter, I was equally honored to help them sell it.

There is nothing more rewarding than building relationships that last beyond the closing table. Being trusted not just once, but again when the time is right, is one of the greatest compliments I can receive.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of both chapters of your journey. Wishing you all the best as you make new memories in your next home! ❤️
