Fish shows that same outstanding care to the St. Louis community: “I serve on the Sing for Siteman committee – Siteman Cancer Center’s annual ‘collaboration’ with Opera Theatre of Saint Louis – and on the committee for LollyFest, a special event that supports Lolly’s Place, an after-school tutoring program for students who need help reading and learning,” she says.

RyanGoldstein
Ryan Goldstein is a St. Louis native and former counselor who has always been drawn to helping families and individuals.
“I was born and raised in St. Louis,” Goldstein says. “My love for the city and knowledge of all the neighborhoods allow me to assist my clients in making the right choice for them. Whether we are considering school district, commute, price point or neighborhood feel, I can help my clients make the perfect decision for them.”
Regardless of obstacles and challenges, Goldstein is able to stay positive and solution-oriented. Her experience as a therapist and an academic coach gives her the necessary skills to manage challenging interpersonal situations. “Being a REALTOR, I utilize my expertise throughout the home buy and selling process,” she says. “My strengths lie in my ability to listen intently and then problem-solve.”
Goldstein lives with her husband and three children. “I am lucky enough to have a family of my own who keep me busy and grounded,” she says. “I love to run and play any type of sport. As a former collegiate athlete, my competitive spirit gives me a sharp edge in the real estate world!” 314-983-2131 ryangoldstein.janetmcafee.com
HeatherG.Johnson
Heather G. Johnson has always been drawn to homes. “When I was very young, I would wander through our summer home community and knock on strangers’ doors asking for tours of their homes,” she says. “I’m thankful to be a licensed REALTOR with a Supra so I don’t have to resort to my old ways – that would be creepy.”
Much of her business is done in Frontenac, Kirkwood, Ladue and Clayton. Born and raised in St. Louis, Johnson knows these areas well and has been a top producer since her second year in the business. She takes pride in her positive attitude and mantra of ‘ONWARD ALWAYS!’
When she’s not working, she supports veterans organizations and participates in Pedal the Cause each year. For fun she and her husband enjoy biking the trails around St. Louis and recently she took up the harmonica. Watch out John Popper!
