"SIMPLY THE BEST-exceptional service with heart! We just completed our 6th transaction with Heather, and I would never even THINK of using anyone else. Her professionalism and extensive knowledge of all things real estate never ceases to amaze me. She is a highly skilled negotiator, effective communicator and an exceptional problem solver. She is extremely patient and understanding and genuinely cares about her clients. She works harder than any realtor I have ever encountered, yet makes you feel as if you are her only client. This time, she sold our house as well as my mother's house at the same time, which came with a LOT of special challenges, all of which she handled with grace and kindness. She truly goes above and beyond for all of her clients to give them the best possible outcome. She has broken sales records for 2 of our homes and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best agent to work with. I promise you will not regret it." - Scott

"Heather Donovan did a great job selling our house. The housing market was tricky to gauge with interest rates on the rise and fewer buyers than usual for the area. She made all of the right choices—vendors, asking price, timing—and made getting into the right deal easy. She deserves more than 5 stars." - Stephanie

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Amazing Experience! Heather is a true professional! She is wonderful to work with and goes above and beyond what is expected of her. She puts all of her heart into selling houses and makes the experience personal. Heather’s knowledge and expertise excel any of the other realtors with whom I’ve worked. She stays updated on all of the current trends in the market and stages a house beautifully! She truly takes so much of the load off of her clients shoulders so that the anxiety of selling/buying is gone. Heather loves what she does and really cares about her clients and it shines through in her work. I would recommend Heather to anyone.!" - Chelsea

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Heather was the fourth realtor that we spoke with and was our favorite by some way. We were mulling over whether to put our house on the market at that time Heather walked us through various steps and held our hands as we decided to try selling. From us deciding to oull the trigger we had photos arranged within two days and an open house the weekend after. We woudl recommend Heather to anyone looking to sell in Clayton. " - Maddick Family

"Heather curated the sale of my childhood home while I was living out of state. She was present to meet with contractors on a $30K remodel prior to selling and provided invaluable advice when faced with decisions I was not knowledgeable about. To say that Heather was incredibly helpful, communicative and accommodating is an understatement. The house was staged beautifully and I entrusted the entire process to her. She priced our newly remodeled house just right. We received 5 offers and sold for well above asking price. Heather Donovan is an expert, passionate about her work, and goes above and beyond." - Erica

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Heather is so very down to earth, knows her stuff and is the definition of one who goes above and beyond. She helped me purchase my first home May 2004 and helped me sell it in May 2019. Even going so far as to stage it with her own personal furniture. She then helped us land the home of our dreams in August 2019. Holding my hand thru the process and being available at just about all times to make sure the deal went thru quickly and accurately. I recommend Heather and then some! She deserves a superhero cape!" - Amber

"My husband and I asked Heather to be our realtor because of the pleasant interactions we'd had house hunting. She was the realtor of a couple of houses we'd viewed and decided she was the one we wanted to get serious with. We were beyond satisfied with her continued kindness and professionalism. She went out of her way to give us her time and expertise. Once we found the house we knew was meant for us she made extra efforts to get our lender involved to sell us as the best borrowers. It was more than just luck that landed us our new house and we owe it all to Heather. We highly recommend her to give you the edge you need when buying a home." - Becky

ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…ā˜…
"Honest and Tenacious. We had an incredible experience working with Heather. She is the epitome of patience and always maintained a positive attitude throughout the process. What really stood out to us was her honesty—she never tried to overhype a situation or get us overly excited until everything was certain. Anytime we asked for her opinion, she was refreshingly honest and always had our best interests in mind. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about their clients and will guide you through the process with integrity and professionalism, we highly recommend Heather!" - James & Gina

"The best of the best!! We are so grateful to have found and worked with Heather. She has an unparalleled work ethic and at every step of the process exceeded expectations and provided helpful market insights. Her knowledge and experience of the Clayton, CA area but also the whole East Bay allowed her to immediately provide examples of comparable floor plans or ideas on how a property could be improved. She has a vast network of contacts that she willingly and proactively shares. She also is a great negotiator and works very well with the other participants in the process - lender etc. Heather is extremely responsive. She also makes the whole process enjoyable.
