Top Producer 2008-2012,
Awarded by the Chicago Association of Realtors

After spending twelve successful years as a human resources consultant and corporate leader in Chicago, Heather knew that it was time for a change. So in 2007 she made the leap into real estate and hasn't looked back! Her ascent to "Top Producer" status as recognized by the Chicago Association of realtors by her second year in the business (and each year thereafter) confirmed the move! In those years she has helped hundreds of clients realize their dream of buying or selling their Chicago home.

As a Chicago native, Heather understands the diversity and the different lifestyles offered by each neighborhood in this vibrant, appealing city. In the last 15 years she has lived in Ravenswood, Roscoe Village and Lakeview and as a full-time agent, Heather is dedicated 24/7 to her clients' needs. Her strong work ethic and commitment to excellence ensures that from the beginning to the end of her clients' home buying or selling process, no detail is missed.

Heather is a graduate of the University of Denver and has an MBA from Northwestern's Kellogg Graduate School of Management. In her free time she spends time with her husband Jens and her two young sons, Pierce & Chase-oh, and don't forget her two lovable mutts, Syndey & Laika.

What My Clients Have To Say

  • Jaime Sulzer
    Evanston

    She was very straightforward with what to expect from a market perspective. She had alot of knowledge and pointed out features and potential issues about some of the homes when we were touring them. She knew what we were looking for and ultimately suggested we see a home that we didn't have on our list and ultimately purchased! I would highly recommend her to anyone.

    Thanks so much for everything! We had a great experience and found our dream home. Thanks for taking the time to help us become familiar with the different options so that when we found the right one we were ready to make the move.

    Pilsen

    Heather was fantastic, I called her just out of the blue (based on an outdated listing) and am so glad i connected with her. She helped me find and buy a place that I love, all within a month. She was fantastic about explaining all the steps to me and answering all my questions; she gave great advice and I could tell she really was trying to get me the best deal and making sure I didn't overspend. Thank you Heather!

  • Mary Prester

    Heather really guided our family through the process of buying a condo in the city. We are suburbanites with no knowledge of what to consider when buying a condo, Heather really walk us through what all we needed to consider. I had also ask Heather that my daughter who was going to be the primary resident of this condo be included in the process, again Heather fully explained to her all that has to be considered in buying property. With our lack of knowledge of the city and condo purchasing, Heather was extremely patient and did not pressure us into make quick decisions. When I am ready to sell the condo we purchased Heather will be who we contact.

    Heather was friendly, professional and very responsive. She seemed very knowledge about the local housing market, and was very perceptive about our property preferences. We would definitely recommend her to someone else.

  • Christian Yoss

    Heather was amazing! Having recently relocated to Chicago from Dallas, we were initially concerned about whether we would be able to find affordable real estate options in such a high cost location after being in a very low cost location for 16 years. Heather helped us with the process and took us through all the various housing options in Chicago and we were very much appreciative. She made the anxiety go away and allowed us to view things in perspective. Heather built a strong relationship with us and made us feel comfortable that she would be our agent for life and that this was not "just a transaction". Thanks Heather!!!

  • Matthew & Theresa Webber

    We were very pleased with our experience with Heather. She had an expert knowledge of the process and went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly, in spite of some complicating factors beyond her control. Heather represented us in both the purchase and sale of our home, and had we not left the Chicago area we would have loved to continue working with her to find our next home. Overall, Heather is an outstanding realtor and we have nothing but the highest praise for her work.

  • Ty and Meegan Beckmann
    Bucktown

    Heather's greatest skill is the close...and I have to say it is one of the most important. In that crucible, so much can change so quickly, you need a knowledgeable and skilled person on your side to navigate the turbulence. Heather has a grasp of what's real in the market, a knack for communicating with all types of agents, and a follow-through to get it done (not to mention the ability to soothe clients who are anxious with the challenges faced in a complex deal). She keeps the deal going and fights for what you need and what is best for you.

  • Don and Diana Cunningham
    Lakeview

    As first time home buyers I don't think we could have had a better realtor than Heather. Heather is extremely patient and truly cares about her clients. She took the time to educate us on the aspects of buying a home rather than simply push us through the process. During our long search (almost 2 years), which started in the northwest suburbs and ultimately ended in Lakeview, Heather was terrific. Heather made us feel at ease in what was a somewhat stressful experience for us as first time home buyers. She was understanding of our continually changing minds (house in the burbs to condo in the city) and made herself readily available to us for showings and questions despite her busy schedule. Heather is extremely knowledgeable of the Chicagoland market and is a true professional. I highly recommend Heather to anyone looking for not only a savvy realtor but also someone you can trust with what is a very important decision.

  • Reema Sanghvi and Vishal Kapashi
    Bucktown

    As being first time home owners we were very skeptical, afraid, excited as well as overwhelmed with all the decisions, choices and nature of this the home buying experience. Heather was extremely patient in accommodating our needs by explaining each step. She addressed all our concerns, never rushed or pressured us and gave us excellent guidance with all the background information that we needed on a home. She also has a great network of contacts so you will not have to worry about finding a lawyer, mortgage broker, contractor, home inspector, etc. They are all professionals and worked out well for us. It's truly been a pleasure working with her and we look forward to finding our next investment property with her.

  • Allison Scheer and Steven Bidny
    Lakeview

    I don't think that we could have found a more patient real estate agent - we were considering two completely different types of properties which added to the complexity of our home search, but Heather was very supportive and had a good understanding of what we were looking for. It is helpful that she is extremely knowledgeable about the Chicago neighborhoods, and we really valued her opinions and honesty. She was always very responsive to our questions and arrived to show us houses with a posiitve and upbeat attitude, even though our search took a long time. We are now very happy in our new townhouse!

  • Katey Gaffney
    Lincoln Park

    We had a clear idea of what we were looking for but after visiting numerous properties over many, many months we still didn't find "the one." Heather kept us on track and from losing hope that we would never find that perfect place. We couldn't be happier in our new condo and could not have done it without Dream Town! We recommend working with Heather, especially to first time home buyers, her kind attitude and hard work will help you reach your goal.

    Heather and Sarahjane were absolutely brilliant! They were always available, quick with responses, and up-front and honest with us. They worked tirelessly to market and show the home we were selling, and we simply had a blast with both of them shopping for our new home.

    Heather is a breath of fresh air amongst the world of real estate. She is highly knowledgeable, thoughtful, responsive, enthusiastic, and patient enough to always have another home to view, or helpful comments on why the house you just saw is good or bad. Her goal is to ensure that you find the home you truly want. I look forward to our next purchase with her.

  • Jennifer and Bryan Cali
    South Loop

    Working with Heather was a fantastic experience. She was very patient with us throughout the entire process, always willing to answer our questions and fully explain where we were at in the process. She provided up to date communication and you always knew where you stood in the process. Being fairly new to the home buying process, Heather provided a lot of insight and knowledge that helped us envision our potential new home. We went into the house hunt thinking we wanted to be in a specific neighborhood but Heather was able to expand our search giving us options we never really knew we had and it just so happens this is where we ended up buying our home! She really made the process seamless and fun from the beginning to the closing. Thanks, Heather!
