"We are so very excited to have Amye join the MNR Legal Affairs team,” said Jon Kopecky, Senior Vice President of Legal Affairs. Amye has a tremendous background in real estate law, especially in the areas of title work and contracts and knows how critically important ethics are to establish trust in the industry. I know our members will benefit tremendously from all Amye brings to this position.

Amye’s responsibilities will include reviewing ethics complaints and arbitration requests, serving as legal counsel and staff administrator during hearings, and addressing questions related to our Code of Ethics. She will also develop training materials, support the Legal Hotline, and offer legal guidance to our Forms, Risk Management, and Professional Standards Policy committees. 

Professional Background & Bio: 
Amye von Seebach attended Presbyterian College in South Carolina and earned her Juris Doctor at Birmingham School of Law where she finished 2nd in her class.  

Amye is admitted to practice law in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Alabama. She is a member of the American Bar Association, the Minnesota State Bar Association and the Hennepin County Bar Association. She also volunteers with the Advocates for Human Rights, Just Deeds, and Volunteer Lawyers Network, LTD. It was through her work with this organization that Amye first developed a love for real estate law and saw real estate as a way to positively impact the lives of real people.   

Amye is a somewhat new transplant to Minneapolis from Birmingham, Alabama where she worked directly with residential Realtors® at HomeServices of America. Most recently, she worked on a national commercial real estate team as Underwriting Counsel at Frist American Title Insurance Company.  

No professional challenge has ever equaled Amye’s work as a mom. She spends as much time as possible with her amazing children, the family she was born with, and the family she has built along the way.  Amye has always loved the Gulf Coast beaches and is falling in love with all Minnesota has to offer from the incredible bike trails and parks to the terrific music and theater scene.   

Please help us welcome Amye von Seebach to the Minnesota Realtor® team!
