Heather went above and beyond to help me sell my house. She pretty much did everything. I could tell you about how she made the house look great in the photos or when I needed a handyman to make some repairs on the house she was able to meet them at the house and let them when I was unable to. I could also tell you how she priced the house perfectly so I got the maximum offer possible. But I think the one example that really highlights how great Heather was during this process is when we decided to list my house on Black Friday. She had to work during the Thanksgiving break while she was traveling with her family and she never missed one phone call. Not one! As I said above, she truly went above and beyond.

We moved to Wilmington, NC after visiting the city once when my wife interviewed for her job in January 2020. During that visit, we initially met with Heather (Full disclosure: Heather and I were acquaintances in college but were reintroduced through my wife's employer). We had planned on visiting Wilmington in the months leading up to our move here, but COVID-19 had other plans for us.

Between January and our move in July, Heather was extremely helpful. She helped answer any questions we had and made sure to introduce us to a local lender in town. Since we couldn't visit in person during those lead-up months, we decided to initially rent an apartment (something that Heather made some recommendations as well.)

Once we moved to Wilmington, we started looking for a home in earnest. Heather worked with us and helped us narrow down exactly what we were looking for. This was going to be our first home purchase, and with us being completely new to the area, we had a steep learning curve. Heather was there through it all, answering all our random questions and texts.

When we finally found a house we loved, Heather helped us move quickly to get a winning contract submitted. Wilmington was a hot market, and the house was only listed for 48 hours before we went into a multiple offer situation. With the seller's "best and final offer" deadline a mere handful of hours after our second showing, Heather helped us quickly navigate what we wanted to offer to give us the best chance of having our offer accepted.

Overall, Heather helped us find a house that we'll be able to make our home for many years to come. I would recommend Heather to anyone looking for a REALTOR who is responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to put in the work to find the right home for a buyer.

Heather is an ambitious up and coming real estate agent. She has lived in Wilmington for over 10 years and knows the surrounding areas extremely well. She is constantly learning about the industry, area and how to enhance her clients experience.

We were first time home buyers and Heather was very helpful on educating us on the process and finding us the perfect home. Wilmington is a hot area for real estate right now and homes do not last long on the market. She understood our needs and helped guide us in the right direction. She was always sending us new listings and willing to meet us when we found a potential home. She is a passionate dedicated professional and we highly recommend her.

Heather puts the REAL in realtor. I have worked with other agents in the past. They seemed to care more about the glamor shot on their card than finding us a home. We were a difficult buyer. It took a while to find the "right" house. Heather was patient and encouraging through three months of looking. She answered the questions we needed and walked with us through the process. When you are ready for an agent who knows and cares - Contact her.
