About Me About Me

Exceptional communication, end-to-end service, warmth, and relentless attention to detail are what every client can expect when choosing to work with Amy. Throughout her 30-year career in sales, she has found that all meaningful success begins by listening intently and understanding each customer’s individual needs—skills that are the cornerstone of her business philosophy and practice. Amy brings her keen negotiating skills to every transaction and revels in the opportunity to help her clients achieve their objectives. 

She has held a number of senior management positions for start-up businesses throughout their full-scale operations, making her particularly skilled at moving quickly yet thoughtfully while wearing many different hats along the way. Amy, a resident of Ridgefield for the past 12 years, knew this would be her home as soon as she turned onto Main Street. "After leaving New York City and renting in Norwalk, my husband and I would go on weekend excursions to explore other communities in an effort to decide where we wanted to set down roots. Ridgefield's vibrant downtown was a big draw and we immediately felt a sense of community, something we valued greatly. Through the years, Ridgefield has delivered on everything we were looking for, from amazing people to our many cultural events, exceptional schools, great restaurants, and unique shops.  Not only have we grown to adore our community, but also a great number of the nearby towns.  I consider myself extremely blessed to live in Ridgefield and Fairfield County. Amy was reared in Wilmington, Delaware, and received her bachelor's degree in textile marketing and management from Thomas Jefferson University. She has been married to Jerry, the assistant vice president for public affairs at Pace University, for more than 20 years. She is the proud mother of their two children, Chloe and Will. When she's not working, you can find her enjoying live music (their daughter's band), supporting their son and his high school teammates from the sidelines, having dinner with friends, walking their dog Nora, or on a family trip.

Testimonials (16)

Amy led a complicated pair of transactions (a simultaneous sale/purchase) to a successful conclusion that landed us in a house that we love. She worked extremely well with the second broker involved in the transaction and was on top of all of the many issues involved in the sale/purchase, all the while keeping an even keel and keeping us informed. We can't recommend her highly enough!!!! Fred Mannausau
Amy McKinstry is a true professional whose demeanor makes the complex world of real estate feel light and easy. As first-time home buyers, my husband Carey and I were anticipating a stressful, overwhelming process, but Amy’s wonderfully calm and positive nature instantly put us at ease. She is the epitome of professionalism and class, yet she delivers her expert service with such an approachable style. Every viewing, negotiation, and piece of paperwork was handled with seamless precision, giving us the immense confidence that we were completely in the right hands. We never once doubted her expertise or commitment. She always demonstrated efficiency, and was in communication with us - and responded rapidly to all calls, texts, and emails. Amy manages to blend incredible market knowledge and extensive experience with outstanding support, ensuring we could focus on the excitement of finding our perfect home, rather than the anxiety of the logistics. Her ability to simplify and clarify every step is what truly sets her apart. We are clients for life and will absolutely use Amy for all our future real estate needs. If you want an agent who will make your home buying experience feel effortless while guaranteeing you the best result, choose Amy McKinstry! -Parker, Carey, and Clementine Parker Wilcox
Super responsive, detail orientated, knowledgeable and committed to getting the job done. Would highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for a realtor. It was an extremely tight market and Amy made sure we got our dream house. Five stars isn't enough. Louise Edwards
We met Amy purely by chance at an open house she was hosting in Ridgefield, and from that moment we were blown away by her candor and charm. Honestly, Amy has been one of the best agents we’ve ever met. She went above and beyond from the very start of our search all the way through to closing on our home. What really stood out is her ability to pivot and act quickly with such a calm and cool demeanor. For example, she helped us navigate a tricky situation where we initially put in an offer, then rescinded it, and eventually came back and re-submitted on the same home. Amy made it all work seamlessly. On top of that, Amy provided us with fantastic local resources once we moved to town, making us feel truly at home. We’re so happy to have her in our corner and can genuinely call her a friend now. If you’re looking for an agent in Ridgefield, we can’t recommend Amy enough! Daniel Sergile
Amy is the best, and she is so knowledgeable. I was so grateful that she organized all the inspections and whenever I asked for anything she responded quickly and appropriately. Nothing was missed or forgotten. I would recommend her 100%! Doug Crane
Amy was an excellent realtor. She helped us to find an apartment while we were living out of town. She directed us to certain towns/neighborhoods, she pre-screened locations, did FaceTime tours, and brought us to a final list in person. She followed up on questions immediately. She handled the logistics of the rental with great attention to detail. The difference between her competence and that of the selling agent was very apparent. I recommend Amy McKinstry for any of your real estate needs. Katrina Gottlieb
