We are thrilled to introduce Heather Stephens, one of our dedicated real estate agents at MacDonald Realty Group. Heather received her real estate license in January 2023, but her journey with real estate began long before that.

Discovering a Lifelong Passion

When we asked Heather if real estate has always been her passion, she shared, "There has always been something inside me to drive this passion. Viewing homes with my family at a young age, I always thought my opinion mattered in the decision process. One of my favorite things to do was to drive through neighborhoods and imagine what the houses looked like inside." This early fascination with homes and neighborhoods laid the foundation for her career in real estate.

From Personal Experience to Professional Commitment

Heather's passion for real estate truly ignited when her family bought their home sight unseen from overseas. Even before she officially started her real estate journey, she was helping friends in similar situations find homes they would be happy in, often offering to look at homes in person with their agent. Heather explained, "The process can be very unnerving, and I want to be the person to provide my clients with the clarity, guidance, and comfort for such a huge life decision."

Staying Motivated Through Challenges

As a W-9 employee working on commission, Heather knows the importance of maintaining motivation and consistency. She credits her driving forces to the people in her life—her husband, kids, and clients. "Real estate can be very stressful, but it all comes back to the reasoning behind why we do it: to provide a great life for our families as well as consistency and ease to my clients, who deserve to be treated like family," she said.

Words of Wisdom and Personal Growth

We asked Heather what advice she would give to herself on the day she got her real estate license. Her response was both empowering and insightful: "Don't listen to the negativity, don't compare your success to others, and be yourself! Focus on your own personal growth and gaining knowledge along the way. Ask all the questions and wake up every morning grateful and ready to learn something new every day."

A Rich Tapestry of Life Experiences

Heather's life experiences have uniquely positioned her to excel in real estate. She has lived overseas multiple times, forging friendships all over the world. This global perspective enriches her approach to real estate, especially when assisting VA clients, as she understands the challenges of relocating from personal experience.

Heather also loves to cook, drawing inspiration from the diverse cultures and cuisines she has encountered. "Living in other countries and having the chance to travel so much, I have been introduced to so many different cultures and cuisines. You can always find me making something that brings me back to those experiences," she shared.

Commitment to Clients

Heather's dedication to her clients is unwavering. She wishes to convey to her future clients, "It is of utmost importance to me that my clients feel cared for, supported, and never left with questions about the process. I am always a call away for any clarity, and there are never any stupid questions in my book. My job is to educate and empower my clients, and I intend to do just that!"

Heather Stephens is a remarkable asset to MacDonald Realty Group. Her local knowledge, global experience, and genuine passion for helping others make her an exceptional real estate agent. We are proud to have her on our team and excited to see her continue to grow and succeed.
