A Kensington native, born and raised by a Realtor®; Heather was exposed to the industry at a young age. Throughout her adolescence she traveled a ton, giving her expansive knowledge of Bay Area cities and towns, along with profound lifetime memories. An avid volleyball player, she made her way to University of California, Merced, where she became a founding NAIA volleyball member, while attending classes and holding down a job – she has always been proficient in work-life balance. After graduating, she made a swift return to the Bay Area, the only place she truly considers home.
Before entering the fast-paced life of real estate, Heather had a lengthy career in the administrative field, where she efficiently executed comprehensive support for CEOs, Presidents, and C-level Executives, at companies such as iRhythm Technologies, Shift Technologies and Revolution Foods. She honestly never thought she would make the transition into the real estate world and follow in her father’s footsteps, but the universe had other plans and she realized immediately that she was hooked.
Heather’s passion for real estate stems from the journey she embarks with each of her clients. Having worked on multiple transactions, with meticulous attention to detail and a go-getter attitude, she sets her clients up for success. Whether you’re a first-time home buyer navigating through the buying process or you’re a seller making the decision to downsize, upgrade, or move closer to family, Heather understands this is a huge financial decision and provides the utmost care, knowledge, and service.
When she is not working, you can usually find her surfing in Santa Cruz or Pacifica, bouldering at Pacific Pipeline, going on hike adventures with her dog, supporting her partner’s gym business in Berkeley, or attending events in the City with her friends.
Would someone describe you as an early bird or a night owl?
Depends on who you’re asking – I guess you can say I’m a switch, sometimes I’m up super early tackling the tasks at hand and other days I’m up late, when I’m the most productive and have no interruptions.
Favorite restaurant or hang out?
Anywhere near the beach, where food is good and surf is better.
Famous person (living or dead) you’d most like to meet?
Betty White
What’s your mantra?
“You must always be honest and true.” – Paul A. Alarab
What’s your most treasured possession (besides your phone!)?
My fur-babies, they’ve been with me through the hard times, they deserve the world.
What would you tell your 16-year old self?
Pay attention to how mom cooks everything! She’ll give you some of the recipes eventually, but the others you’ll need to watch and write down yourself.
Funniest/most interesting thing you’ve ever found in a house you’ve helped someone buy or sell?
Ha! I’d rather not say, but you can ask me in person.
