I have a passion for real estate and property management. Helping people to navigate one of the biggest investments in their lives brings me joy. And, I’m thrilled to be working in a great place like Schooner Realty, which has a supportive, collaborative, women-driven team that is making a difference for people living in or looking to live in Santa Cruz and the surrounding areas.

I actually used Schooner Realty to buy our current home in Santa Cruz and was so impressed with their professionalism that I decided to work here. Having lived and moved several times around the country, I know how daunting a home search can be. Whether you’re moving across the globe or just across town, you need someone with expertise. Throw in a tight timeline, and the stakes are even higher.

Thanks to my experience and knowledge of the dynamic Santa Cruz market, I am confident that I can help you and your family find the best home to meet your lifestyle and needs. It’s about empowering you to succeed throughout the entire real estate process. If you are looking to find a future home or looking to sell your current home, I’ll work hard to make sure you are well represented in any transaction so that you can relax. I sweat the small stuff so you don’t have to!

Hey there, I’m Heather! I’ve called Santa Cruz home for the past 20 years, and absolutely love this town. I mean, we have it all- mountains, redwoods, beaches and world renowned surf spots nestled in the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary, amazing organic produce, great food, great bars, great people.

Santa Cruz offers so many diverse areas, my goal is to help my clients find their perfect place here. Be it a first home, second home, a mountain retreat, a beach house, a home with acreage, I’m confident we can find the right fit. On the flip side, if Santa Cruz is no longer your place, or you need to upsize/downsize, let’s find the right buyers for your home so you can move on to your next phase. Whatever it is, I look forward to helping my community with buying or selling their homes so we can all get the most out of this town we get to call home.

Aloha! I am excited to join Schooner Realty! I was born and raised in Santa Cruz and I am proud to call Santa Cruz my home. After graduating from UCSD, I moved to Hawaii where I met my husband and ended up living for 24 years. Our 3 amazing boys were lucky to grow up on Kauai and we still own our home in the town of Kilauea.

While on Kauai I started and owned a concierge business to service private homes in Hanalei Bay while also providing property management for an exclusive home in Princeville.

Now back in Santa Cruz I am very excited to be once again working with my long time friend Celeste, supporting her in the property management of her rentals. I will also provide real estate assistance while studying for my real estate license. When I’m not in the office, you will find me down at the beach playing volleyball or mountain biking around Santa Cruz.

I am happy to be a part of the Schooner Realty Crew! As a native of the Bay Area, I have lived in Aptos for 23 years with my husband John and our three children.

I have spent the last 10 years working as an Office Manager in the Wine and Spirits industry. I enjoy spending time with my Family and Friends, and love traveling, reading, fine wines and gourmet foods.

I am in the Schooner office at 1015 Cedar Street on Monday through Thursday from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. I look forward to getting to know you better and assisting you in any way I can.
