We had the pleasure of working with Heather to buy our home and she was amazing. She kept us focused and helped us find the home that we love. She offered invaluable assistance throughout the viewing, offer, negotiation, and closing process. She is professional, smart, and very personable. She understands people very well and has a great gift for easing both parties through stressful situations. She was always available and even helped us out with many things after the closing. We feel that she has made a huge positive impact for us and we highly recommend her to anyone that is looking to find a home."

Heather has such an enjoyable personality, and an incredible knowledge of the Jersey area. We were new to the area and wanted to rent for the short term. Because we were renters, rather than buyers or sellers, other realtors had treated us discourteously. Heather was the opposite. She welcomed us warmly and had a genuine interest in our needs. She worked so hard to find a place for us where we would love to live – and she succeeded! I will definitely turn to Heather when it comes time to buy or sell a house.

Heather worked tirelessly to help us find our dream home. She
quickly understood what we were looking for and made the
house hunting experience efficient, but loads of fun!
Heather is extremely professional, seems to know every house
in the area and we won’t hesitate in having her find or sell a
house for us in the future.

Heather Gilheany helped us relocate to Maplewood, NJ from upstate New York. She was charming and helpful at all stages of the process.
Heather brought us to homes in a large price range, and in several neighborhoods as we narrowed our focus. From talking to us, she was able to get an excellent idea of which homes would attract us, keeping our long trips to New Jersey very efficient. She was knowledgeable about all stages of the process, and helped us connect with real estate lawyers, mortgage banks, schools, inspectors and other local information. She conscientiously kept tabs on our negotiation process, helping us to structure an offer that was optimal for us, while attractive to the seller. Once our offer had entered the stage of lawyer negotiation, she continued to facilitate the details of negotiation. Once our contract was signed, Heather continued to assist us cheerfully, by helping us get access to the house for contractor estimates before the sale was complete, and keeping up with the closing date happening on time. I can't imagine any way in which Heather could have been more thorough and helpful. Furthermore, Heather is a fun person, plainly loves looking at homes, and understanding her client’s needs to she can give the best possible service. Heather never seemed like a proper salesperson, more like a helpful friend that happened to access to all the homes in the area in which we were interested. Meeting a real estate agent who appears to deeply believe that houses sell themselves, and that her best job is to assist us in finding the best home for us, is truly refreshing. I have often had the impression that real estate agents that I have worked with were mainly interested in closing sales with minimum work for themselves, even when I didn't find them pushy. Heather appears to view her career as a sort of home-buying planner -- or at least she was willing to be that for us!
