Amanda Barker | Realtor® | DC Rise Real Estate

As a dedicated real estate professional in Northwest Illinois, I specialize in helping buyers and sellers find their perfect home, whether it’s a lakefront retreat, a historic gem in Galena, or a peaceful rural escape. With a few years in the industry, I bring a hands-on, client-focused approach rooted in integrity, connection, and a deep passion for the communities I serve.

Beyond real estate, I’m an active member of the community. I sit on the board for the Jo Daviess County Fair, host a monthly women’s group in Galena, and support local food initiatives, including hosting a drop-off point in Warren, IL, for the Jo Daviess Local Food Group. I believe in fostering strong relationships—whether through real estate, local events, or initiatives that bring people together.

When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me focusing on time with my family, exploring this beautiful Driftless Region, traveling, or practicing mindfulness & movement. Let’s connect and make your next move an exciting and seamless experience!
