Heather grew up in Berkeley, graduated from UC Santa Cruz, and returned to the East Bay to live and work first in Oakland, then Berkeley, and now in the Richmond Annex in the home she bought and remodeled. Prior to becoming a Realtor, she worked for over two decades as a nonprofit program director and fundraiser for organizations including Civicorps, NIAD, Habitat for Humanity, the YMCA, and George Mark Children's House. Heather was drawn to real estate early on - always paying close attention to a home's look, feel, construction, design and flow. She bought a fixer in the Richmond Annex and loved the process of reimagining and remodeling it. She has a knack for seeing a home's potential, and for helping clients to make the most of their investment, no matter what their goals and budget. As a Realtor, Heather listens closely, asks questions, speaks candidly, presents all options, operates transparently, and helps clients to quickly hone in on the strategies that will get them the best possible results. She knows that buying or selling a home can be a major life event, and she works hard to ensure her clients feel fully supported and have an exceptional experience every step of the way. For fun, Heather loves simple pleasures, the arts, the outdoors, travel off the beaten path, quality time with family and friends, learning the ukelele, and supporting great causes.
