Heather Balderach

★★★★★
"We had the absolute pleasure of working with Heather to sell our home. We could not have asked for a better experience. From day one, she brought incredible neighborhood knowledge, energy, professionalism, and expertise to the table. We knew we had the best agent to represent our family and our home. She took great pride in every detail, from staging to reimagining spaces, to preparing for professional photographs and showings.
Heather navigated the complexities of a shifting market, keeping us informed all along the way, and what truly stood out was her commitment. She worked tirelessly to position our home at its fullest potential. Even during stressful moments in the market, she remained steady and patient. She kept us focused and gave us confidence to ride the rollercoaster of selling in a buyer's market.
Thanks to Heather and her dedication, we not only sold our home but also felt fully supported the entire way. We are grateful for all she did and would highly recommend Heather without hesitation! If you're looking for an agent that combines heart, talent, professionalism, and hustle - look no further!" - Anonymous

"We recently purchased a house with Heather Balderach as our realtor. We cannot say enough good things about Heather. She is very knowledgeable about neighborhoods and properties. She was able to find us a great house in a great neighborhood at a great price. She gave us really sound advice through the whole process. With this market, we had to act quickly to see new properties and she made herself available whenever we needed to see a property. She was very patient in answering all of our questions. We could not have been happier with her and would highly recommend her to others!" - Devlin H.

"I have to say, Heather really is awesome. I've worked with many realtors, and she is by far, the best. She is an excellent communicator, dedicated, dependable, persistent, knowledgeable, and a really nice person. She even helped send an offer, during her kids little-league game! She was straight forward, honest, and really knows the business. I honestly can't even think of a single thing she could've done differently! I'm definitely recommending her every chance I get. " - Weston

"Heather Balderach is seriously a gem of a person, which includes her being an amazingly good Realtor. We look forward to talking to her even at the stressful moments which are part of any real estate transaction at some point or another. Heather is equipped to handle any question and any emotion. She's intuitive and understanding, and most of all she knows her stuff and is able to get the result you need. She is always one step ahead. We trust her so much and we seriously cannot believe our luck in having found her. It's almost like we feel sorry for anyone who isn't working with Heather on their real estate transaction! Who could be better than her!??! She is so knowledgeable, and it feels like she has the answer to everything, but if there is ever something she doesn't know, she will be up front and tell you that, but then she will immediately research and find the answer. She truly cares about her clients, and we don't ever have to second guess that. She's so good!!" - Katie + Kirra P.

"Heather was a doll to work with. Very responsive to my emails, there when we needed her, knowledgeable, and very sweet. A great Realtor and a great person." - Cheri

★★★★★
"Heather Balderach did a terrific job for us as our Buyers' Agent. She was timely and very thorough when it came to obtaining answers for us from the seller and handled all the coordination for us with the various external services that are needed with real estate transactions. We had an issue with the septic service company not making it out when they were supposed to, which necessitated a second visit by our home inspector. When the inspector started talking about charging us (the buyer) for a second visit, she put an end to that. I still don't know if someone else paid for the second visit, but I know we didn't. She also showed up at the closing, which was a nice touch. Working with her was a pleasant experience during what is normally a challenging undertaking." - Craig D.

"Heather is the best realtor! She’s helpful, honest, reliable, realistic, and knowledgeable. She took great care of us over the last 16 months. She deserves a bonus!" -Jennifer L.

★★★★★
"Heather is AWESOME!!! Top-notch across the board and has our business for life." - Wes L.

★★★★★
"Heather Balderach is our realtor for the sale of our house in Cedar Park and purchasing a new build in the Lago Vista area. Heather has been wonderful throughout the process, from deciding to purchase a new build, listing our existing house, and eventual move into the new house in the next few months. She is very patient, experienced, responsible, and just overall very easy to work with on a stressful life event. I would highly recommend Heather for anyone planning to sell or buy a house in the Austin, TX area!" - Karen P.

★★★★★
"Heather was fantastic. I could not be happier with her professionalism and caring approach to real estate in this crazy market. We felt taken care of, and she walked us through the whole process." - Craig + Carol

★★★★★
"My wife and I were sincerely impressed with the work of Heather. It was very obvious she is a professional while also being easy to work with. She handled the process with ease and was able to answer any and all questions we asked. Thoroughly delighted to be able to work with her and would have absolutely no problem in recommending her." - Craig C.

★★★★★
"The first thing I’d like to call out is that the process overall lasted 2.5 years. So, at the very least, I’d like to point out that Heather is extremely patient and understanding. We dipped our toes in and out for a year and a half. Then we got spooked by the pandemic. Then we were very picky about where we wanted to look in a market that didn’t seem to have much inventory. Throughout that process, Heather was always honest with us, and never departed from a posture of: “how can I help?” We enjoyed touring homes with Heather because they educated us on a few items throughout and was also as critical as we were as buyers. I will absolutely be recommending Heather to anyone I speak to that is relocating within the area. Thanks to Compass, and thanks to Heather! We love the new home we were able to provide for our family. Finally." - Bob F.

★★★★★
"Heather was exceptional, start to finish! She is a top-notch, second to none Realtor, and an equally fabulous person. We have had the absolute best experience with her, beyond our expectations. I cannot recommend her enough, and in fact, we already have! She is compassionate, knowledgeable, always available, accurately, and creatively anticipates her clients’ wants and needs, generous, honest, and patient. We are so happy to have made a friend in Heather." - Kathryn + Steve L.

"Heather is so wonderful. However many stars you're allowed to give should be doubled to more accurately reflect our experience! We moved to Austin for work from out of state, so we already had two big life changes going on, and then on top of that, we'd decided to buy our first home, and we decided on new construction. Needless to say, we had a ton of questions (like, a lot!) and also hurdles as we went through the process across several time zones. Heather helped us navigate everything that came up, and her communication was always reassuring and thorough and fast. It was such a relief to know that it was Heather representing us. So many times we'd say to each other that we couldn't believe how much we'd lucked out to be working with Heather. It felt like magic, honestly. And THEN, we had to go through the final steps during shelter-in-place restrictions, and so the hurdles increased beyond what we could have ever expected. Heather and we figured things out together. We followed all protocols, and she was so supportive and kind. She checked up on our move and how we were doing and how our cat was doing. Heather generally went above and beyond to ensure our sanity, and of course, the successful close of our home purchase. She's also good-natured and fun, and we genuinely looked forward to every call, text, or email with her. It was so clear that she had our backs, and her knowledge about the whole process is impressive. Heather is such a pleasure to work with that we almost wish we had another house to buy!" - Katie + Kirra P.

★★★★★
"It was a complete pleasure to work with Kelley Menefee to buy our first home. She went above and beyond to help us understand the process and get us a home in a safe and affordable neighborhood. We are a military family new to the area, and Kelley took her time showing us the neighborhoods and which ones had good schools for our children. This is our first time buying a home, and Kelley made sure we understood the terminology and how the whole process worked. Kelley also acted as our agent to walk through the house as we were unable to travel back from out of state. We had complete confidence that she would do a fantastic job, and she did. We truly appreciate all her help, advice, and support on our home buying journey!" - Ray + Elena G.

★★★★★
"We were introduced to Heather Balderach through various family members who have worked with her over the years. Heather was AWESOME to work with! She guided us through the buying process, as we were first time home buyers. No question was ever too silly, and she was happy to explain things in full. One of our largest hesitancies going into home buying was stressing about scheduling showings. But Heather proved to manage it seamlessly! She was organized, flexible, and a solid communicator. This is particularly important in the Austin market because a lot of homes are sold the day/weekend they hit the market! We were always able to get in to see a listing within the first day or so. When looking at homes, she has a great eye for detail and helped educate us on what to watch out for, and helped us understand what issues were easily fixable. We offered on a pre-market listing that was still in development. Heather navigated the offering and closing with ease. She worked with the builder's listing agent to answer all of our questions and regularly checked in with us. We seriously couldn't have gone through that process without her, and her guidance is hugely appreciated. We are now so happy in our new home and look forward to working with her again the next time around." - Danielle + Jason H.

"I had the pleasure of working with Heather 4 or so years ago, when I purchased my first house. I was referred to her through a friend and couldn’t have been happier! Flash forward to the fall of last year, I was in the market to find a new house due to my employer moving offices. I immediately thought of Heather and was thrilled when she was available again.
From the first calls, she was eager to assist; however, she could. She provided thorough research of the areas I was looking at, quickly developed comp reports for the areas, and happily spent a few weekends looking around the neighborhoods. Her knowledge of the industry, keen design eye, and availability to answer any questions whenever I thought of something really shows her passion for real estate and serving her clients.
Heather balances her professionalism with a healthy dose of personal connection. She is always warm, approachable, and eager to help. Heather goes above and beyond for her clients, and diligently sees everything to completion. As we went through each stage of the overall process, she frequently checked in on me to see how things were going and make sure I was prepared before each milestone. Heather is an amazing agent, and I would definitely recommend her to any of my friends." - Toby V.

★★★★★
"Heather did a wonderful job. We were in a bit of a time crunch and didn’t have many days to physically walk through each house since we were moving from out of state. She did a lot of preliminary work to help us spend our time efficiently. She took our feedback and refined the search accordingly. She negotiated like a bulldog on our behalf throughout. Very happy with our new home and her part in getting us here. We would definitely recommend Heather to a friend." - Jonathon C.

★★★★★
"Heather is incredibly knowledgeable of Austin and its surrounding areas. Our family was moving from Indiana and had no idea where we wanted to be. After the initial phone call, Heather had selected several spots in and around Austin that really helped narrow down where we should end up. She spent an entire weekend (not easy with active kids) with us and found the perfect area for our family to grow, work considerations, and housing expectations. She was very patient with us and took in all of the feedback from that first weekend and deciphered the most important things for us. Sometimes my wife and I would get caught up on certain things, but Heather was good about bringing us back to what our top interests were in a very polite, constructive manner that was super helpful.
Heather was fantastic to work with and always available to take a phone call or text. It seems like a blur now, but Heather was an extension of our family for two months. Heather was sincerely enthusiastic to learn about our family, how she could find the best setup for us, express how much we're going to love Austin, all of the benefits of moving to Cedar Park (Christmas light displays are no joke and can't wait to see the fireworks from our house!), and get us excited about a cross-country move. It's incredibly stressful to make an interstate move and even worse when I was living in Leander while my family was still in Indiana for two months, but it was so refreshing the way Heather talked about the area, and it helped remind us that we're on a journey that is going to be well worth it when we're done.
Buying/selling has so many emotions involved, yet Heather always helped make us "feel" good about the process. Heather was very professional, organized, helpful with listing sheets, good about guiding us through the process, etc." - Kellen H.

★★★★★
"Heather is wonderful. From Day 1, she set a tone that made us feel comfortable and optimistic around both selling our home and finding the dream lot. She came in with full attention to our wishes and put a plan in place. With her skill set and a knack for design, Heather put in hours of personal time to bring out the best in our home to sell. From assisting with painting the exterior brick, installing kitchen tile, reaching out to handymen, to staging, and to coaching us through several upgrades, were able to create a warm and beautiful home for a first-time buyer.
I highly recommend Heather for any individual or family looking to sell or buy a new home. Her genuine care for others, combined with her work ethic and professionalism, instills confidence in the process and makes the journey all so worth it. We are so grateful to Heather. 5***** Realtor. " - Teddy + Vanessa F.

★★★★★
"Heather is awesome. We bought our second home in a row with her because we were impressed by her knowledge, patience, and ability to connect with the home buyers. A few of our family members too closed deals with Heather recently." - Naveen K.

★★★★★
"My husband, Michael and I worked with Heather purchasing our home, and we could not have asked for a more positive experience. From the moment we started working with her, she went the extra mile to understand what we were looking for, our style, kept us grounded in the price range and helped us understand the different areas since we were relocating from Denver. Heather did not rush us and reassured us multiple times that we would find the right home and not to settle for anything that we were not entirely on board with. She was always extremely responsive and kept us in the loop constantly. We never had to hunt her down or beg for updates as we have previously experienced with house purchases in the past. Her quick response time is what landed us getting the house we purchased in Austin, and we could not be more thankful. She is so positive, supportive, and kind to work with and made us feel comfortable and confident in her throughout the whole process. We are so grateful we were referred to Heather and got to work with her in purchasing our beautiful new home. She went above and beyond a Realtor's duties and genuinely cared how the overall move across states was going for us and if she could help in any way with the process. I would highly recommend her to anyone!" - Colleen M.

★★★★★
"If there were six stars, Heather would receive them from us. We've have had our fair share of real estate agents, and Heather is simply in a class of her own. Heather was extremely responsive, was honest, trustworthy, an expert in her field and overall was great. If Compass finds more agents like Heather, the future is incredibly bright. Thank you, Heather and Compass, for helping us find our dream home. It's likely the most important financial decision we'll make in our lives, and I will always look back with such positive thoughts around the entire experience." - John F.

★★★★★
"We are from out of town and recently bought a condo from Heather. Her attention to detail and willingness to help was incredible. Heather assisted us with financing, understanding the area and our new HOA rules, locating a local insurance agent and finding a property manager to help us after the sale. On a grand scale our sale was small but Heather treated it like it was a million bucks. Thank you"" - Julie L.

★★★★★
"Could not be happier!!! Finally, someone who cares about you and the home you want to buy. She was great through the whole process and was never pushy about trying to make a sell. We have purchased several properties with Heather and she continues to impress. My family and I will never have to worry about the home buying process or who is going to represent us again"" - Josh C.

★★★★★
"Heather went above and beyond when working with us and made the entire buying process as efficient, fast and easy as possible.

★★★★★
"Heather's service is unbeatable! We relocated to Austin with limited information about the city. Heather took her time to listen to our needs and found us a great place. She was there for us throughout the buying process and continues to be a huge asset after the purchase. I would highly recommend Heather for all your real estate needs and plan to use her for all future sales and purchases!" - Wes L.

★★★★★

I enjoyed working with her. I can't thank her enough for helping us buy our dream home." - Angelina L.

★★★★★
"My family and I were moving from Oklahoma to Texas for a career change. We were very nervous about how difficult it would be to find a home and adapt to the changing real estate market. Heather was able not only to help comfort us in our transition, but was extremely helpful in every aspect of the real estate as well as lifestyle suggestions. Heather helped us locate several homes that fit our \minimum requirements\" and exceeded our expectations in finding the right home. She is very professional and helpful within the whole real estate transaction and knows how to work for you and your best interest. I will definitely use Heather for future real estate transactions and would recommend her to anyone in the housing market for the Austin area." - Jeff M.

★★★★★
" My family was moving from out of town to Austin, and had the pleasure of working with Heather.

★★★★★
"We recently purchased a perfect retirement home for us in Belterra, thanks to Heather! We were challenging buyers, as we live out of state and were generally unfamiliar with Austin communities. But we knew we wanted to live closer to our grandchildren. Beginning last fall, I started looking for homes on various Austin realty websites. Numerous REALTORS followed up with me initially, but after learning we were in no particular hurry and just trying to learn the area, never contacted me again. Except for Heather. She was very friendly, gladly sending me information about the different communities I was considering and educating me about the various tax rates and HOAs. She was always friendly, professional, and never pushy. This spring, we found several homes that we were interested in seeing but couldn't fly to town quickly enough. Heather arranged to go herself and FaceTimed with us on the walk-throughs. When the day finally came that we were able to fly to Austin, Heather scheduled numerous showings and was SO helpful and fun! We made an offer on a house, had to leave town, and left everything in Heather's capable hands. She kept in constant contact with us and the other REALTOR, arranging inspections, mitigations, and keeping the contract process moving. We have bought and sold 7 homes over the years and Heather definitely ranks at the top of the list of REALTORS we have worked with. We were truly fortunate that Heather was our REALTOR! A good realtor makes all the difference."" - Kathy F.

★★★★★
"I recently moved to Austin and Heather Balderach was recommended. Heather was patient, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and professional through all our dealings. I felt very fortunate to have had a real estate agent who anticipated and was prepared for the business of purchasing a home. I would recommend Heather to friends and family." - Julia F.

★★★★★
"You won't find someone more passionate, dedicated and relentless than Heather in finding or selling your home. We have been overwhelmed by her knowledge and willingness to find answers, if she didn't already have them, when it comes to the information needed to make accurate and informed decisions. Heather listens better than any other real estate professional we've dealt with and we've bought many properties so we've experienced the gamut and she's what this industry needs so desperately. She's creative, offers genuine advice that benefits us rather than her own financial motivation and gives so much of her time without ever making us feel as though we've asked too much. I could go on and on but you'll just have to experience her persona first hand to see what a difference she makes in the overall experience. It's finally fun to buy and sell when you have her on your team! " - Greg + Michelle B.

★★★★★
"Heather was an absolute pleasure to work with. This was my first home buying experience and she was everything I could have asked for. Heather was very knowledgeable, knew the right questions to ask, helpful, always greeted me with a friendly smile, and made it a point to check in throughout the construction of my home. I would definitely recommend her to a friend for their next home buy or sell. Thank you again, Heather!" - Tony V.
