Wiki Biography / Profile Background
Introduction :
Amie Yancey is a Canadian-American interior designer, realtor, and reality television star. She is most commonly known for her starring role in the A&E series, Flipping Vegas.
Personal Life, Parents and Family Details :
- Amie Yancey (maiden name Amy Tollestrup) was born on August 30, 1967, in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada.
- Over the years, she grew up on a ranch stabling horses and riding dirt bikes. Over the years, Amie has owned eight motorcycles.
- She is one of ten children (including four of whom are adopted) to parents, Stephen and Carol. Sadly, both of her parents and two of her brothers are deceased.
- After meeting at college in the 1980s, Amie married real estate investor, businessman and fellow reality television star, Scott Yancey, on January 26, 2000.
- Although the couple have no kids together, Amie has a daughter named Sarah from a previous relationship.
- On October 16, 2018, Sarah and her husband, Mitch, welcomed their own baby girl into the world, making Amie a grandmother.
- Despite having no kids at home, the Yanceys have plenty to look after – Now living in Las Vegas, Nevada, they have three dogs named Tallulah, Flip, and Zuma; two horses named Heinke and Tieme; two mini pigs named Bacon bits and Lucy, and a mini donkey.
Early Life and Education :
- Obviously a huge animal lover, Amie attributes this passion to growing up on a ranch in Canada with sheep, cows, pigs, goats, ducks, turkey, chicken, horses, cats, and dogs.
- In a sense, Amie was exposed to construction and “flipping” at an early age. Her grandpa, Glenn, started Tollestrup Construction Company in 1940 with the sole purpose of excavating basements in the Lethbridge area.
- Now, over 80 years later, the company has expanded its purpose but is in its third generation of family ownership; it was passed down to Amie’s dad, and is now run by her brother James.
- Amie also showed early signs of pursuing a life on television. At Lethbridge Collegiate Institute, she took drama and starred in the school’s production titled Porch.
Business Career, Salary and Net Worth :
- In 2013, Amie and Scott started Goliath Company – a real estate brokerage specializing in buying and selling properties, land development, and income property analysis.
- Amie’s role in the firm is as a realtor and interior designer & she is involved in many facets of the company’s offerings.
- From 2011-2014, Amie starred alongside Scott on the A&E production, “Flipping Vegas”. Together, they bought run-down houses, flipped them, and resold them for a profit – with Amie serving as the interior designer.
- The idea for the show was born when Scott told some friends that he once had to pull out his gun to defend himself against homeless men wielding needles in a house he had purchased. The friends, who were from Hollywood, told him he needed to have his own show.
Interesting Facts and Trivia :
- Known as a daredevil with a love for speed, Amie’s favorite hobbies include dirt biking, horseback riding, cave diving, and drag racing in her Porsche. At one time, she owned eight motorcycles and has even been known to flip dune buggies.
- The Tollestrup name is well-known in Alberta. They were responsible for opening the first Wendy’s fast-food chain in the province.
Social Media Presence :
- In a Twitter post, Amie was seen visiting a nomadic tribe in Africa, meeting Massai kids and learning their culture. She is seen wearing traditional, Masai cultural attire.

I never get tired of Yanceys. I have watched all of their shows. The fact is that I watched the reruns. The question is are they ever coming back on? Miss the show and the folks. They both are great actors too. Just leave the twins elsewhere.
I love watching the reruns of Flipping Vegas. People should realize that Scott portrays an ‘angry man’ on the show to make it more interesting; I highly doubt that is his true personality. Both Scott and Amie are great at what they do – they are a good-looking and classy couple!
It’s the same silly plot every week, but I’m addicted to the show. LOVE Aimee. She’s as talented in design as she is on TV. Yadi ain’t so bad either! HAHA!
We have to remember Scott is under pressure. I think the biggest thing to remember is that it is a tv show. This is what most shows or cops are about…one good and one bad. You can see he loves her, as soon as she is upset, he is right there.
I like the show and only watch it because of Amie. If she were not in it and it was just Scott I would not bother. I can’t stand his angry, mouthy attitude towards Aime and the workers! I would punch him! Surprisingly, she stayed with him this long.
I love the show. I disagree if I gave my wife a budget and she consistently blew through it, I would be an angry man too!
The show is addictive…love it to say the least…it was magic. Very few shows they have today…Scott and Amie are fun to watch.
Today is the first time I watched Flipping Vegas. Watched two shows and will not watch anymore.
It is very hard to watch. I love watching flip shows but Scott is too much! He does not know how to have a conversation. He seems to be a very angry man. He is always yelling! Have fun with Scott, lighten up!
Don’t care for Scott’s angry, abusive tone he uses to just about everyone. His wife Amie should divorce his rear end and take everything for having to deal with his abuse.
I like the show, but I get tired of hearing Scott bitch at Amy all the time. Hopefully, he is not that way in real life. Has the show been renewed?
I love the show, Scott and Amie. I wish I could catch it again.
SCOTT LIGHTEN UP. DO NOT BE SO ANGRY. YOU WILL GIVE YOURSELF A HEART ATTACK.
