As a Reno-Tahoe native, Heather takes immense pride in both her deep-rooted local relationships and her affection toward this community. Over the last four decades, she’s cultivated a strong network of connections, developed a problem-solver mindset, and built a career with honesty, tenacity, and integrity.
As a sales professional, she worked for a total of nearly 10 years at the Thomas Kinkade Company, and as their Director of Strategic Accounts, she forged important deals with Disney, Hallmark, ShopNBC, and The Shopping Channel, as well as launched distribution into the Japanese marketplace. Heather also has a hustling entrepreneurial spirit, founding Executive Details, a professional assistance service, and Screen, Inc., a facial sunscreen company.
She loves giving back to the community and served six years with the National Charity League, including a pivotal role as President for the 250-member charity organization. Some of her favorite philanthropies include the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival, the Sierra Association of Foster Families, and Special Olympics.
In her spare time, she actively supports the alumni organizations of California Polytechnic State University (where she earned a degree in Public Relations) and Gamma Phi Beta Sorority (where she’s served on the local chapter’s Executive Board). She enjoys listening to live music, entertaining, reading historical fiction, learning Mah-jongg, watching live ice hockey, loving on her 5-pound Havanese puppy, and eating up pop culture with a spoon. She and her husband of 25 years have two grown kids and have welcomed the next phase of empty nest living.
“Home Means Nevada” is not just our state’s regional anthem – it’s about finding your own personal refuge, enjoying the Northern Nevada lifestyle, and embracing all the amenities that this beautiful area has to offer. In real estate, you need equal parts salesperson, advocate, analyst, business manager, consultant, negotiator, marketer, and matchmaker. Heather pledges to be all these things and more, and it would be her privilege to assist you in your next real estate transaction.
"Your next chapter deserves more than guesswork. I'll bring the insight, preparation, and negotiation it takes to feel good about the outcome."

Seller's Guide
Selling a home is a complex process that requires careful planning, strategic marketing, and skilled negotiation. To achieve the best outcome, you need more than just a checklist—you need the experience and insights of a professional agent who knows your market inside and out.
Calculate Your Mortgage
Understanding how to calculate your mortgage is important because it shows what you can realistically afford and helps you avoid financial surprises. By estimating payments, comparing lenders, and evaluating loan terms, you can make confident choices and ensure your new home fits your long‑term budget.
Property Value
Determining the value of a property is often the first question sellers ask our real estate agents, and for good reason—it sets the foundation for a successful sale. Many factors can influence the asking price, from supply and demand in your area to broader market trends that shift over time. It’s also important to consider how quickly you want to sell, as urgency can affect pricing strategy and negotiation flexibility.
