The EXPERIENCE
NOTHING COMPARES TO TRUE PARTNERSHIP.
Compliments of Heather Cummings
Meet Heather
After earning a degree in interior design with a special focus on art and business from Radford University, Heather Cummings worked as a designer and an architectural sales representative in South Carolina and Virginia before returning to her Georgia roots and officially transitioning into real estate. Blending her knowledge of architecture and design with the soft skills she perfected in sales and customer service, Heather has established herself as an elite agent with a gift for concierge-style service and a heart for working with people navigating transitions and milestones. Her specialized services include luxury home marketing and assisting buyers who are moving to the Atlanta area.
Since she was a little girl laying out houses with LEGO® DUPLO® toys, Heather has loved homes and helping people. As a certified Interior Designer, she loves walking into a space and envisioning how a client can live and work in it; as an agent, she loves anticipating how a person can use it to improve their equity. From start to finish, her focus is on a made-to-fit experience, creating a simple yet strategic environment for clients to reach their goals. From conducting thorough consults to project-managing upgrades to personally staging homes and catering the marketing to the style of the house, Heather’s clients are treated to a guided, cared-for process in which they are a relationship, not a sale. Her ability to listen and educate buyers and sellers, her sales background and her singular eye for design fuse seamlessly into a world-class level of real estate expertise.
Born in Atlanta, Heather currently resides in Ashford Park with her husband, Andrew and son, Ethan and enjoys the Atlanta area because it feels like both a big city and a small town. Active in her community, she enjoys contributing to CURE Childhood Cancer, Ashford Park Friends of CHOA and being a sustainer with the Junior League of Atlanta. When she’s not working with clients, she is most likely playing with her son, gardening or traveling.

Testimonials
" I have nothing but great things to say about Heather ...
She helped my husband and me find and purchase the perfect home for our family! She was very knowledgeable of the area and very responsive in getting our questions answered. We enjoyed our experience so much that we also used Heather to sell the home that we already owned at the time. She got it sold within a few weeks. We will definitely be using Heather as our agent should we ever need to move again! I highly recommend her!"
- Amanda
" I would highly recommend Heather and her team to everyone ...
Heather has gone out of her way to provide information to my husband and me while we are considering a move. She came to our house and shared information with us, including recent comparable sales in the neighborhood and current homes in the market for sale that fit what we are looking for and also offered more advice! She sends us a daily list of homes for sale in the market, and she is always quick to reply to any questions. To anyone in need of a great REALTOR®, Heather is a great choice!"
- Gabrielle
" Heather helped us sell a home in East Cobb ...
She made solid recommendations for upgrades on the home to better position it for a quick sale and put her interior design experience to good use in suggesting carpet style, sources and paint colors for the interiors. Her team was great to deal with, so we recommended them to a relative, and they came through a second time as well. Both homes had offers within a few days and were under contract within a week."
- Rob
" Heather truly cares about her clients' success ...
She worked tirelessly to help us find our dream home in a very competitive market. She has her finger on the pulse of all things real estate and goes above and beyond for her clients."
- Meredith
" Heather took great care of us with our first home purchase ...
We are so thankful for her assistance and personal approach in guiding us through the process by our side every step of the way. Thank you again for getting us into our dream neighborhood of Virginia-Highland!"
- Sara
" Heather was patient, informative and always available ...
Heather's knowledge and easy communication made her an amazing REALTOR® to work with!"
- Melissa
" Heather
is a rock star REALTOR ® ...
She goes above and beyond the normal scope of your average agent. She is extremely knowledgeable and makes the entire process of selling my current home and purchasing a new one so simple. Not only does she answer all your questions about the homes you are interested in, but she also takes the time to get to know you and your interests. This helps the homebuying process to make sure the home you purchase not only meets your housing needs but also your lifestyle needs. She recommends areas that fit your lifestyle so that you can find a place that you can truly call home. I highly recommend her and her team for all of your needs."
- Jackie
" Heather
is the best REALTOR ® you could ever wish to work with ...
She and her team took our first homebuying experience to the next level by providing accurate and timely information throughout the entire process. It was always fun to go house viewing with her, easy to communicate with, and best of all, she understood our needs, even when we didn't know what we wanted, and guided us to make the best decision. I would always recommend her to all our family and friends."
- Janice
" My wife and I recently relocated to Atlanta from South Africa ...
Heather worked closely with us in the lead-up to the move to understand our needs and start putting plans in place to make things happen. Most of this communication was done remotely, which required Heather to work odd hours, deal with the difficulties of communications across time zones and ultimately interpret the requirements based purely on communication via telephone. When we did visit Atlanta for a reference trip, Heather was extremely professional, lining up appointments for viewings, making every effort to accommodate our requirements and needs based on a short trip. Heather showed determination in finding the most suitable home based on our needs and also our ever-changing dates! I can recommend Heather as a super REALTOR® that you need to work with when the time comes. Give her a call - she'll make it happen!"
- Gavin
" I cannot say enough nice things about Heather and her team ...
We have bought two homes and sold one with this team. They offer extremely professional advice and guidance through what can be a stressful process. They handle everything to make the experience streamlined and less burdensome. This time around, they offered help getting our house staged and made recommendations on improvement projects that we could do in a short amount of time to increase the value of our house. With this team, we were under contract within the first weekend of listing our house for the asking price. On the buy side, they've helped us buy two dream houses without sacrificing what we needed from the sellers. Thank you so much to Heather and the team!"
