Heidi is amazing. Throughout the sale process she made me feel listened to, heard, and respected. She is incredibly responsive and makes her clients feel like each one is her top priority. She is also very kind, which is so important when embarking on such a potentially stressful undertaking. Her team kept me updated as needed but didnt overwhelm me with information that wasnt helpful. She is well known in the community and has a well earned reputation for strong negotiating skills and forthright communication. I would highly recommend Heidi and her team for the sale (or purchase) of your home. Thanks, Heidi!
Heidi did an amazing job with helping us buy our first home. I cant say enough good things about her! She is extremely knowledgeable, patient and well connected. We could always get a hold of her with any questions or concerns we had. She went over and beyond to make herself available to work around our busy schedule. We never felt pressured in any way. She is an authentic, honest, and straightforward person which is hard to find! I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future if we ever decide to sell and buy another home. We are extremely grateful to have her walk us through this experience.
When I started seriously looking at a new home I contacted Heidi to show me a listing she had. That home didn't fit my needs but I found another home and called her after I viewed the home in an open house. Everything went smoothly and I closed escrow a couple weeks ago. Since then I've referred her to my niece and some friends (: I'm so thankful I found Heidi !
Heidi Hart is an extremely knowledgeable and proficient professional. She is from the local area, which aids in her being a wealth of knowledge about the Santa Cruz area. She makes the home selling experience seem less. She is always making herself available for questions and concerns. She was prompt at having open houses and quickly produced a sale for us. I highly recommend Heidi for your real estate needs.
Heidi was great! She really knows the local market and helped me pick the right price to sell my home. My home was on the market on a Sunday and I had an offer on Tues night!!!
Heidi was absolutely wonderful to work with. We were able to find an amazing home in a crazy market. She was instrumental in making it happen for us. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Heidi is simply the best. I could end the comments here but will provide some additional details.: 5 stars on every category because she earned it and that's as high as the rating goes. Heidi was consistently and extremely (Not in any particular order): Responsive, knowledgeable, ethical, compassionate, empathetic, a creative quick thinker with a great ability to quickly resolve unforeseen issues. A true professional. I had no idea an agent could really be that good. She cares and dramatically reduced the stress level If you're thinking of buying or listing, do yourself a favor and contact Heidi. You'll quickly see just how great and unique she is.
This was my second time with Heidi as a listing agent, and she has continued to do a fantastic job of guiding us through the selling process and overcoming any hiccups along the way. Heidis extensive network of contractors and professionals in the area has been a great asset for buying and selling, and I will absolutely be using her again for future transactions. I highly recommend Heidi to be your real estate agent if you have the opportunity.
Heidi was perfect for us! From day 1 she took the ball and we where browsing houses around the area, next day we where already looking at houses. She was very professional and attentive to us and very knowledgeable of the area we where looking for. She made sure to listen to our needs and preferences. We never felt pressured and we felt confident she had our best interest in mind. Never had any troubles getting in contact with her at any time. She did a remarkable job going above and beyond for us, and we are truly grateful for her. Thank you so much for finding us the best place to call HOME!
We cant say enough good things about Heidi Hart. We met Heidi a couple of years ago when we started house hunting. Then, Covid hit, and on top of that, evacuation. A comfortable search became a pressure cooker. Heidi stepped up to the plate, and absolutely busted her neck for us. Heidis knowledge of the area is outstanding; she showed us homes in Salinas, Prunedale, Aptos, and Boulder Creek aEUR" frequently, the day the houses hit the market. She knew every area, down to the streets, and accurately cautioned us about others. She saved us from bad decisions more than once. Heidi works constantly. She was on top of communication, every time. We would see a set of houses, and by the time we drove home, she had background on the houses we liked, and she had offers ready for us to review. Efficient, professional, always pleasant. We would work with Heidi again, any time
Heidi was very understanding and easy to work with during these COVID times. Our house sold almost immediately which is exactly what we had hoped for! Loved working with her!
Heidi has been wonderful! She works hard, and she made everything go like clockwork during a pandemic, really going above and beyond. I absolutely recommend Heidi and California Dreaming Realty.
Heidi is the magical insider to San Lorenzo Valley real-estate that knows everybody in the biz there. She deftly guided us through the arcane process of buying our dream home and provided us the perfect counsel to get from start to finish.
Heidi is a Top-Notch professional with a warm, friendly and no-nonsense demeanor. She will assist you in finding your dream place and make it a very cohesive, direct and efficient process.
When I decided I was able to buy a house again, I knew right away who I wanted as my Realtor. I had worked with Heidi in the sale of my last home over 10 years ago. She was great to work with then and she more than came through for me this time. Heidi's understanding of the process and ability sell me to the sellers got me into a house that has everything I wanted. She kept the deal on track even when my lender failed to make the application process easy. A year into my home and I can't thank Heidi enough.
We hired Heidi to help us both sell and buy our homes. Heidi surpassed all our expectations of a realtor. She found us the home of our dreams and saved the deal several times along the way. It really pays off to hire a local person with so many community connections! At one point we needed a local septic expert to drop everything and come over for an estimate. He was booked out weeks, but he showed up for her. Every time the going got tough she called in a favor. It was truly impressive! She is dependable, professional and great at her job. We must have been told ten times how lucky we were to have her in our corner from everyone from inspectors to contractors. They were all exactly right. So glad we chose her!
Heidi was my agent to buy and sell a property. Her knowledge is unmatched in the area she knows the area and the people you might need for any problems that may arise. I would use her as my agent anytime and recommend her highly for your real estate needs in the Santa Cruz mountains. 5 stars in not enough.
This is our second transaction with Heidi. She is very knowledgeable about the area, always there to answer any questions we have and go above and beyond to keep the process as smooth as possible. Lots of patience and knowledge with foreclosures given Fannie Mae was the seller and we had to satisfy their procedural needs. I would highly recommend Heidi to anyone looking for an agent to represent them.
Heidi helped us purchase our home. She is friendly and professional, and really knows the Santa Cruz area very well. I liked her office, and found it both inviting, and relaxing. She was very timely in response to the many phone calls and emails with a multitude of questions during the escrow period, and a wealth of information as to local service personal to use after the sale. Yes, I would highly recommend her to a friend.
Heidi was incredible the entire way through. We were stressed about selling but knew we wanted and needed a bigger home. She helped in both factors and was incredibly easy to communicate with and learn from. She made the entire process of both buying and selling feel seamless. Highly recommended!
Heidi was amazing to work with! I recently sold my large property in Boulder Creek. It was my first real estate sale and Heidi held my hand every step of the way. Her communication and attention skills deserve 10 stars! She genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy. I highly recommend Heidi!
I don't have experience with any other agents, but I don't see how it could be any better. We met Heidi at a random open house we decided to check out, and after talking with her for a bit, decided that we were going to work with her if we decided to move to the area. Initial good vibes, later solidified with excellence. As first time homebuyers, we didn't know a whole lot and Heidi patiently explained everything to us, more than once on some topics. She is extremely knowledgeable and is very good at helping you understand what she's talking about. Heidi also showed us enough houses to make me start feeling bad for taking up so much of her time without taking action on any of them. She never got fed up with us, and was quick to reassure that we would find the perfect place, even if we had to keep looking over and over and over again. She was also very honest with us. If she thought something stunk, she would let us know. She would also let us know if she thought we were missing out on something. The house we ended up purchasing was one I had initially passed on, but she insisted we go check it out, and she was right! It was awesome! She also knows EVERYBODY in the area. We kept asking questions about things and she always seemed to have some personal connection with the answers. It was very impressive, and gave confidence that she was the right person to work with in the area. As for all the business of making and offer and closing and all that fun stuff, Heidi made it incredibly easy for us. She set up all the inspections and pretty much took care of everything for us, we basically just had to sign. On top if it all, Heidi is just a very nice, cool, and genuinely good person. I would recommend (and have) anybody to work with her on finding a home. Thanks Heidi!
As a first time buyer we really had no clue on how to put in an offer or how to find out if a home was a good fit for us or not. At first we went with an agent I had never researched but I aEURoethoughtaEUR? we had a good connection. She kept telling us we were going to lose every house if we didn't put an offer over asking price with every home we had a glimpse of interest in. We quickly then realized we weren't going no where and lost hope in finding a home in this high demand market. We then found Heidi Hart and decided to try searching a home one last time. We met her at her house and not only did she explain the home buying process crystal clear but she also pointed out things in a home that were good and bad. Heidi Hart really knows what she is doing . She is very smart and always responds very quickly. When buying a home you want the realtor to be persistent and reachable. She would let us know if she was going to be unreachable for a couple of hours but she always found a way to communicate with us. We did see about 4 homes with Heidi and with every single one she gave us her honest opinion on our chances of getting the home in this high demand market and although it wasnt always the best news to hear at least we wouldnt get our hopes up on a house that was going to go past our price range. We actually only had to write 2 offers and the second offer was accepted because of Heidi's excellent work. She knows how to make your offer competitive and thats something that is key in the home buying process. She helped us through the whole process from beginning to end. Heidi is a excellent real estate agent and I highly recommend her to EVERYONE!
Heidi represented me in both buying and selling properties. She has gained me $1000s by her masterful negotiation and incredible connections in Santa Cruz County. More importantly, Heidi is a person of integrity. She puts her clients first and works tirelessly to close the deal. She communicates really well, is patient, and is accountable for her actions. She offers old fashioned service in a day and age when its rare. sidenote: I asked Heidi if I could write her this review. I didn't know Heidi before I took a chance on her. I definitely recommend her as an agent and a human being.
We worked with Heidi for the purchase of a foreclosure property. It was a rather challenging transaction but Heidi handled it with great professionalism and that made a world of difference for us. She is very resourceful and knowledgeable of the local communities. Excellent communications skills and responsive to all our needs. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent to represent them. You will be well taken care of.
We purchased our first home with the incredible professional help of Heidi Hart of CA Dreaming. She was patient, informative, supportive and above all- moral. We had been through four agents before we found her. It's hard to find a real estate agent that truly takes their client's best interests to "Hart"! Pun intended!
Heidi did such an amazing job. She was easy to get ahold of and responded to emails fast! I bought my home with another agent and was not as impressed with them. Heidi sold our home for above ask, in the middle of the Holidays, before it even hit the market. It was unreal! Perfect and was so happy with ever aspect of the whole process. Very easy and quick! I recommend her to all my friends in the SLV area!
Heidi helped us get our first home! Her knowledge of the area and a ability to negotiate through the process of purchasing our home was invaluable. Heidi made what was important to us a priority and we couldn't have asked for better guidance and support as we made the biggest and most important investment for our family. Thank you Heidi!
got what I was looking for with minimal effort thanks to Hedi. She was very helpful in supplying me with local contractors to improve my wonderful property after the sale. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for property in Santa Cruz county
Heidi helped us buy our first home. She was always willing to make room in her day to show us places we found online, even on very short notice. She has excellent knowledge of the home values in the area, as well as what to watch out for when dealing with mountain homes. She will not try to encourage people to buy a home that she does not feel is a solid value, even if she has to wait weeks or months to help you buy the right home. Heidi was willing to give advice or respond to emails and texts at odd hours, and she was never anything but kind and responsive. She also handled endless paperwork for us, even when we switched lenders and had to start over, always with a great attitude. Heidi was great to work with from start to finish and I would never hesitate to recommend her.
Heidi listened to our needs, took the time to figure out the types of home that would and would not work for us and then worked tirelessly to find the right place for our family. Once we settled on a place that seemed perfect, she helped us research its history in the County records, navigate some unusual hurdles with sellers and reach a happy settlement.
Heidi helped us with the short sale of our home. She was very helpful, and successfully made the transaction happen. She was really pleasant to work with and I would recommend her again for sure.
Second time we have used Heidi. We love her. We recommend her to everyone that asks or anyone looking for a house. She always knows what we are looking for. She is able to find us homes that fit our lifestyle and our needs to grow.
Heidi is a phenomenal realtor! I have worked with her on the purchase of two homes and the sale of one home. She was so competent that I felt highly comfortable with her managing all aspects. Heidi was always readily available by phone, text or email at all hours of the day when I needed answers or direction. She was a great negotiator and I felt that she got the best deal for us. Not only is she an incredibly hard worker and expert in her field, she managed everything with a great attitude and I always felt that she personally wanted the best for our family.Without hesitation, I would recommend her as an amazing realtor.
Heidi Turn around an AS IS sale in the Santa Cruz Mountain community. Escrow closed in just 20 days with no problems. Impressive how she handled this, because the house a land had some issues, and it was a divorce settlement sale. Many thanks to her! Excellent work! Highly recommended...
Heidi is the smartest and most knowledgeable real estate agent I have worked with. She's a great negotiator and conscious of every detail throughout the process. She's good with complicated situations and how to keep things moving. From the beginning to the end of the process, her great communication skills with people, knowledge of legal issues, and timing was very impressive.
The Santa Cruz mountains and San Lorenzo Valley are tricky real estate markets where no two houses are the same and many sales happen off of MLS-listings or pre-market. Heidi knows this area as well as anyone and will do a great job matching buyers with the ideal home. We came to her with an odd situation off of the market, and she worked efficiently, carefully, and dutifully to get us into our dream home. I can't praise her service enough, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to navigate this area's unique real estate situation. My recommendation especially goes for people looking in Bonny Doon.
Heidi was extremely helpful during the purchase of our new home. She was available, often at a moment's notice, to check out homes, answer our questions, or counsel us through the more emotional stages of the home-buying process. She was very honest, respectful of our needs, and knowledgeable of the area. We consider ourselves very lucky to have found a home as quickly as we did and definitely could not have done this without Heidi's help and commitment. We always felt like a top priority for her, more like a friend than a "client".
Heidi Hart is a pleasant and personable person to work with. With her help I sold my house in approximately a month. She is efficient notifying me in any necessary paperwork and the physical work that needs to be done on the property to make it salable. She made the whole process from start to finish a pleasant one.
Heidi was great!! she takes her time to find you the best home possible, no pressure and no rushing. She is honest and makes sure to go over everything to make sure you have a clear understanding of the process and all paperwork. I recommend her hands down!! I would never go to anyone else.
Heidi Hart demonstrated the perfect balance of persistence and patience when it came to handling my short sale. She is truly a professional and I would not hesitate to recommend her to my friends and family.
Heidi was awesome. She has many years of experience and has a great understanding of the local market. We got agreat house at a great price. The process was smooth and without complication.
I still recommend Heidi hands down, 3 1/2 after purchasing our home we decided to sell. Again we hired Heidi as she is the best! She helped us through the whole process, gave excellent advice on what would help our home sell. Within a month we had 4 offers, Heidi went through each offer making sure which one was best for our needs. Closed fast and could not be happier. Thank you Heidi for everything you did for us! I would recommend Heidi hands down to everyone I know. Being a First Time Home Buyer I had so many questions and always thought I had to see the houses right away and she was so patient with us, made sure we felt like #1. I also had a family member selling a house and recommended Heidi who did an excellent job communicating what was happening and how to look offers, that house sold within 30 days. Heidi is as honest as they come, she is very knowledgeable and she is not just out to make $$, she wants you to have the best opportunity possible, if selling or buying. She is truly out for your best interest.
Heidi has extensive knowledge about the area we were looking to buy a house. She did go out of her way to show us the houses we requested and made the viewings on short notice possible. She followed through in the buying process and gave her honest opinion about houses, neighborhoods and home value. She is honest, fair and put our interest first. We found her on Zillow and I contacted her because of her reviews.
Heidi was an absolutely wonderful agent to work with. She was extremely helpful during all phases of purchasing our home. This was our very first home purchase so we had a TON of questions and were completely new to the whole process. Heidi is extremely knowlegable and explained everything to us step by step. She was always available to take our calls, answer questions, and explain anything we were unclear of. Heidi also helped walk us through scheduling inspections and was extremely skilled and helpful when it came to contract negotiations ect...We cannot say enough about Heidi. On top of all of her professional attributes Heidi is also a joy to be around. She is friendly, upbeat and easy to talk to. The process of driving around looking at various homes has potential to be very tedious but with Heidi it was a fun afternoon of chit chat and exploration:-) She never let us feel pressured and seemed happy to show us as many properties and we needed to feel comfortable. I would highly recommend taking your home buying / selling needs to Heidi. She is FANTASTIC!
I would give Heidi 5 plus stars.. She helped us get to know a market we didn't know, use her unique skill set to get us the best possible price, always got right back to us and in the end still surprised us with how incredible she handled everything. Also, she is an incredibly nice personI really have never been happier than I was with everything she did to help our situation.
Heidi helped me buy my first, and now my second home. She is also selling our first home. She makes us feel like we are her only clients. She is extremely responsive, respectful, knowledgeable, and helpful. She has streamlined this process. I highly recommend working with Heidi for all of your real estate deals. She is the best!
Heidi helped us look at almost 200 houses over the course of 2 years. She knew within minutes of walking into a place whether we would love it or not. She knows the SLV area and what to look for in a house. Without a doubt I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy in the Santa Cruz, Scotts Valley and San Lorenzo Valley areas!
Heidi is a very easy person to work with. Her experience and knowledge of the area is up to date, honest and clear. She will use all her resources and energy to make a fair deal come to fruition. I would use her again if I needed an agent in the area where she serves.
We decided to make an offer on a short sale, which we heard could be a painful process. Heidi was wonderful through out the WHOLE process, she answered our millions of questions (sometimes that we asked a few times), since this was our first home purchase. Heidi did not hesitate to jump in to any situation that came up to help us make the deal. We got a great deal on our home and would use Heidi on our next home purchase and would definatly refer her to our family and friends looking to take that big step. Thanks again Heidi!!!
