Heidi is the consummate professional. Her expertise was evident from her initial meeting with us to all the way through closing. When Heidi presented her market analysis to us it was obvious she had a complete command of lakefront property as well as the surrounding area. Heidi was instrumental in selling our home because of her willingness to go the extra mile. When we needed contacts to complete some work around the house she immediately came up with names who showed up quickly because of her reputation. We had an exceptional experience in selling our home-thank you Heidi. Gary and Lee Blount
