Amanda Mullins Named 2025 Top Performing Agent Partner by D.R. Horton

Amanda Mullins, REALTOR® and founder of The Mullins Group at eXp Realty, has been named a 2025 Top Performing Real Estate Agent Partner by D.R. Horton across the Dayton, Cincinnati, and Northern Kentucky region. The recognition was presented at D.R. Horton's Second Annual Shining Stars Gala, an invite-only event honoring the builder's highest-performing agent partners across three major markets.

Amanda Mullins holds an MBA along with the SRES designation and brings 13-plus years of residential appraisal management experience to every transaction. She serves buyers and sellers in Springfield, Dayton, Columbus, and surrounding Ohio counties including Greene, Clark, Montgomery, Logan, Champaign, Franklin, and Union. Her team at The Mullins Group at eXp Realty is known for a direct, honest approach that puts clients first.

What Is the D.R. Horton Shining Stars Gala?

The D.R. Horton Shining Stars Gala is an annual recognition event celebrating the top-performing real estate agent partners in the Dayton, Cincinnati, and Northern Kentucky markets. D.R. Horton is the largest homebuilder in the United States by volume, and selection for this recognition is based on closed transaction performance across their active communities.

The 2025 event marked the second annual gala, and attendance is by invitation only. Being named a top partner means an agent has demonstrated consistent results guiding buyers through the new construction process, handling builder contracts competently, and maintaining the professional standards D.R. Horton expects from the agent community they work with.

Why Does This Recognition Matter for Homebuyers?

When you hire a real estate agent to represent you in a new construction purchase, you are trusting that person to navigate builder contracts, upgrade pricing decisions, construction timelines, and the appraisal process on your behalf. Third-party recognition from the largest homebuilder in the country provides independent confirmation that your agent has a track record worth trusting.

I have helped buyers in Springfield, Enon, New Carlisle, Fairborn, and the greater Dayton area purchase new construction homes with confidence. My background in residential appraisal management means I can evaluate whether a builder upgrade is likely to add value, how a home is likely to appraise before you commit, and where there may be room to negotiate even in a new development. That combination is rare, and it protects my clients at every step.

What Builder Relationships Does Amanda Mullins Have?

In addition to my recognition from D.R. Horton, I work with buyers purchasing from Arbor Homes and Fischer Homes throughout the Springfield and Dayton markets. Each builder operates differently in terms of contract terms, upgrade pricing, financing incentives, and construction timelines. Understanding those differences before you walk into a sales office matters.

My clients never walk into a builder model home alone. Bringing your own agent costs you nothing because builder agent commissions are already built into the price. What it buys you is someone in your corner who is not paid by the builder and whose only job is to protect your interests.

What Makes The Mullins Group Different from Other Real Estate Teams?

Most real estate agents do not have appraisal management experience. I spent 13-plus years in that field before founding The Mullins Group, which means I approach pricing, upgrades, and market value with a different lens than the average agent. That background is especially valuable in new construction, where buyers are frequently asked to make upgrade decisions that have real consequences on resale value and appraisal outcomes.

The Mullins Group at eXp Realty is also built around systems that protect clients at every stage of a transaction. We serve a wide range of buyers including first-time buyers, relocating families, military households, senior transitions, and investors. Our team is welcoming and inclusive, and we take the trust our clients place in us seriously.

What Areas Does Amanda Mullins Serve?

The Mullins Group serves Springfield, Dayton, Columbus, and surrounding Ohio counties: Greene, Clark, Montgomery, Logan, Champaign, Franklin, and Union. Within those markets, I work frequently in New Carlisle, Enon, Fairborn, Beavercreek, Urbana, and communities near Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

If you are relocating to the Springfield or Dayton area from out of state, I can help you understand the market before you ever visit in person, walk you through new construction communities virtually, and make sure you are set up to move efficiently once you arrive.

How Do I Know If Amanda Mullins Is the Right Agent for Me?

If you are buying new construction in the Springfield or Dayton area, my D.R. Horton recognition and appraisal background make me one of the most qualified agents in the region for that specific transaction. If you are buying resale, my pricing expertise and local market knowledge still apply. If you are selling, my appraisal background gives me a more precise view of pricing strategy than most agents can offer.

The best way to know if we are a good fit is to have a conversation. I do not pressure people. I give you the information you need to make a confident decision and let you move at your own pace.
