Motivated by a desire to be closer to family and create a better work-life balance, Heather embraced real estate as her new calling. With her unwavering dedication to helping others and a strong connection to the community, she saw this as an opportunity to not only assist people in finding their dream homes but also to spend more quality time with her three daughters, Leighlyn, Kaeleigh, and Alexis. Living in the serene Spartanburg County, nestled between Pacolet and Cowpens, Heather finds solace in the rural surroundings, cherishing the peace and tranquility it offers after years spent in bustling metro areas like Seattle and Las Vegas. Besides being a passionate REALTOR®, Heather finds joy in singing karaoke (even if she claims it's "badly"), dancing, and engaging in various sports like volleyball, softball, and golf. As a true foodie and an avid traveler, she dreams of visiting Egypt and Antarctica someday. What truly sets Heather apart is her genuine love for the Upstate, making her an exceptional resource for her clients. She takes pride in sharing local hotspots, fascinating historical anecdotes, and her in-depth knowledge of South Carolina's captivating history. In her free time, Heather loves exploring Morgan Square in Spartanburg with its vibrant dining and music scene, relishing nature hikes at Paris Mountain and Table Rock State Parks, and embracing the wonders of the Roper Mountain Science Center and Greenville Zoo. Heather's commitment to community involvement is commendable as she actively participates in various charitable activities, supporting organizations like Susan Komen and United Way while volunteering at her children's school. Additionally, she indulges her passion for learning by taking enrichment classes, fueling her secret desire to become an archeologist and Egyptologist. When she's not hard at work, Heather enjoys leisurely visits to local boutiques and antique shops, relishing her favorite restaurants such as Bangkok Thai, The Peddler, Mezcal, and Tulip Tree. Treating herself to a pedicure and a massage is her ultimate indulgence.
