    If I could give zero stars, I would. Heather is the most disorganized, unprofessional person I have ever worked with in any capacity. Her communication was erratic and often incomprehensible, she would send us random rambling selfie video messages as part of the communication despite us repeatedly asking that all communication stay in writing, and was not respectful of our work schedules by insisting on calling or meeting at whatever time was best for her. Most importantly though, she rented us a unit that has severe water damage of which we were unaware upon signing, but as a professional real estate agent of 20+ years as she advertises, she should have noticed upon inspection of the unit. We are now 3 weeks into a 2 year lease that she brokered for us and we are dealing with serious living condition issues in our unit. Building maintenance took one look and immediately said there was a serious water damage that will affect the unit below ours. This is not what we want to deal with during the holidays (also the busiest time of year for our respective jobs), after paying her exorbitant fee. DO NOT WORK WITH THIS WOMAN IF YOU CAN AVOID IT

    Heather made our first-time buying experience very simple, patiently laying out the process and setting expectations for how long steps would take and what options and decisions there were to make. She connected us with other professionals for lending and insurance who we liked better than the ones we found on our own. Most importantly, Heather helped us deal with some unexpected last-minute problems, advocating for us and making sure the other party properly addressed our concerns - without her, we wouldn't have known what to do!

    I was a first-time buyer of a pied-a-terre in Manhattan and knew next to nothing about the process. Heather patiently walked me through all of her complicated steps. We encountered a few hiccups along the way, but thanks to her expertise, everything worked out I would highly recommend Heather to anyone looking to buy or sell.

    Answered Questions

    How do I buy a home sight unseen?

    Buying a home sight-unseen for a cross-country move is more common than you'd think, and it takes the right systems to make it smooth. I specialize in helping clients relocate and know how important it is to have a trusted local agent who understands both the Huntley area and the unique logistics of buying from afar. Here's how I'd approach your move: Partner with a relocation specialist in Huntley who can preview homes, record detailed walkthroughs, and advise on neighborhoods that align with your lifestyle. Leverage virtual toolsaEUR"video tours, e-signatures, and remote closings are standard practice, so you can comfortably buy before you arrive. Coordinate timing so that closing lines up seamlessly with your move date. While I'm based in New York City, I regularly assist clients relocating out of state by connecting them with vetted agents through my referral network. If you'd like, I can personally introduce you to a relocation specialist in Huntley who can guide you from start to finish.

    What is the first step in buying a home?

    he first step is getting financially preparedaEUR"that means speaking with a local mortgage lender (unless you're paying cash) and getting pre-approved. In NYC, most sellers and co-op boards won't even consider your offer without it. From there, you'll want to: Work with an experienced NYC agent who knows co-ops vs condos and the approval process. Clarify your budget after factoring in closing costs, monthly maintenance/CCs, and building requirements. Line up your team early (attorney, lender, agent) so you can move quickly when the right home hits the market. Buying here is uniqueaEUR"timing, financing, and board approval all matter. Start with your financing, then surround yourself with a trusted local team to guide you through each step.
