What a Seattle realtor actually does for you
A great realtor is part strategist, part interpreter, part advocate. In a market as nuanced as Seattle's — where Magnolia, Ballard, Capitol Hill, and West Seattle each run on their own rhythm — that local fluency is the difference between a fair outcome and a great one.
Heather has been a licensed Washington broker since 2006. She grew up in a real estate family, learned the business at her parents' dinner table, and has spent two decades watching Seattle's micro-markets shift block by block. That history shows up in pricing strategy, negotiation, inspection counsel, and the dozen small calls that get made every week of a transaction.
How Heather works
Every client gets the same approach: listen first, plan honestly, communicate constantly. There is no script, no high-pressure pitch, no rush. Just a clear sense of what you want, what the market will bear, and what it will take to get from where you are now to where you want to be.
Heather's business is 98% referral-based, which means most of her clients come from people she has already helped. That's the bar — every transaction has to be the kind you would tell your sister or your best friend about. Anything less doesn't count.
The areas she serves
Heather specializes in Magnolia, Ballard, Fremont, Queen Anne, and Wallingford, with active experience in Capitol Hill, West Seattle, Green Lake, Beacon Hill, and Columbia City. She also works across the Eastside — Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, Issaquah — and north into Edmonds, Mill Creek, Mukilteo, and Snohomish. If you want a true neighborhood expert who can speak to the difference between a 1925 Magnolia bluff home and a 2015 Ballard townhome, you're in the right place.
