Amanza Smith

Amanza Smith, born on December 12, 1976, in Indiana, built a diverse career prior to her role as an in-house interior designer and real estate agent at The Oppenheim Group. Her early career included modeling, with her first modeling engagement being for Lucky Strike Lanes. She later gained significant public exposure as a briefcase model, number 20, for two seasons of the television show *Deal or No Deal*. Following this, Smith also worked as an NFL cheerleader for the Indianapolis Colts, further diversifying her professional experiences in the public eye.

Smith’s personal life includes a marriage to former NFL player Ralph Brown, with whom she had two children, Noah and Braker, before their divorce in 2012. She later dated actor Taye Diggs from 2014 to 2018. In August 2019, Ralph Brown disappeared, an event that significantly impacted Smith and her children, leading her to file a missing person report and hire a private investigator. This personal challenge, alongside her professional responsibilities, has shaped her narrative as a single mother. Professionally, Smith established her own design business with a degree in interior design, which became a foundation for her role at The Oppenheim Group.

Joining The Oppenheim Group, a luxury real estate brokerage, Amanza Smith became known for her interior design and home staging capabilities, as featured on the reality television series *Selling Sunset*. Her expertise extends to decorating and staging homes for high-profile clients. While initially focusing on interior design, her role evolved to include selling houses, requiring her to adapt to new facets of the real estate industry. Beyond her work in real estate, Smith is also the CEO of Amanza Inc and launched an online boutique, Shop Social Scenes, which offers designer clothing, home decor, and jewelry, demonstrating her entrepreneurial spirit and broader interests in design and commerce.
