Testimonials

Susan Simpson, Retired

An extraordinary woman who has an unparalleled reputation for connecting with her clients, assisting them in finding the perfect property and home. In the greater Santa Rosa and Sonoma County area, Heather Young is the only realtor to call whether you are buying or selling!

Andy Cyrus, Superintendent, San Luis Valley Railroad

Heather Young obtained an excellent realtor for me in Alamosa, Colorado – even though she is located in Santa Rosa, California. I needed to sell my home and Heather helped me identify what I might do with my property to support its profitable and swift sale. She encouraged me to pursue certain home improvement projects and to let go of several others – which saved me a great deal of time and money! Heather surveyed real estate brokerages in the area and identified two with the most knowledge and activity in my neighborhood. She even interviewed agents at each office, recommended one agent, and negotiated a listing agreement for me – which was highly favorable to my interests. I enjoyed working with Heather – she’s easy to talk with and her knowledge, savvy, energy, and professionalism were very financially rewarding in the sale of my Colorado property. I recommend her whole-heartedly and without reservation.

Heather, Scott and I can’t thank you enough for your professional recommendations while we planned our wedding. Your adept familiarity with Sonoma County and relationships with local businesses are an asset. Thank you for everything! You’re a wonderful friend.

Dear Heather,

I want to thank you for everything that you've done for me during our looking and buying process. I really enjoyed working with you and will definitely recommend you others because you always made time for me no matter what time of the day or night it was. You always made sure that all of my questions and concerns were answered and put to rest.

The thing that I liked about working with you the most, was the fact that you always put in extra effort and always went beyond what I would had considered a satisfactory work. You made suggestions and brought up some very valuable points that today, now that I'm a homeowner, I find them extremely useful. And unlike a lot of other realtors who only tell you and show you things which would make a certain property more attractive, you also pointed out things that you disliked and things that might be a concern to me, that I would have never even noticed if it wasn't for you. And that convinced me that you were really looking out for my interests and not doing this just for a paycheck. Thank you very much,

Sincerely, your friend; Alex Surgailis

Rich & Chris Valenti

We want to let you know how pleased we were with Heather Young. We were looking for an agent who not only knew the Sonoma County real estate market, but also someone comfortable working with our son, who was a first time home buyer. Heather was the perfect fit. Heather took charge from the first time we spoke with her. She was knowledgeable and followed through often and timely. We felt she took both a professional and personal interest in finding the right property and helping us through the home buying process. We would highly recommend Heather to our friends and family and anyone else who needs a competent real estate professional.

I feel very fortunate to have found Heather Young when I was ready to buy my next home! Heather is a great listener, something I especially appreciate in a realtor. She really seemed to want to get to know about my lifestyle and what I wanted. She really cares and goes beyond expectations. Her years of experience and integrity are other qualities that rank her above her peers in my experience.

Johanna McKenna, Retired

Heather is always respectful, timely and responsive, sometimes responding to my e-mailed questions well after business hours. I always knew that Heather and her team were genuinely looking out for my best interests. Heather even offered suggestions of who to call for the help I needed to make the move as smooth as possible. She would advise me immediately if there was anything she needed from me to move along the process. Her skilled team dealt extraordinarily adeptly with some very tough lenders and an H.O.A. that refused to cooperate. I recommend Heather without hesitation, whether for a straightforward purchase, home sale, or a more complicated transaction such as mine.

John (Jack) & Diane Wikse

Heather Young is a wonderful person and fine realtor! She had to deal with a complex sale of property with a co-owner out of state, and coordinated email signing and phone conversations and negotiations with buyers in a professional and always friendly manner.

Mari Haber, Paul Hobbs Wines and Ron Kampel, Jordan Vineyard & Winery

If you are looking for a realtor, do I have a gal for you! She found our new house in one week and helped us submit the winning offer chosen from multiple offers.

AND she sold our current home with one open house because of her preparation, marketing strategy and negotiating skills. I highly recommend her!

I am writing to share what a truly outstanding job was done on my behalf by Heather Young. She is a great real estate agent - very intelligent, knowledgeable and extremely hard-working - has a good aesthetic eye (took perfect photographs) and pays thorough attention to the myriad details involved.

Heather has been most reliable and consistent in keeping me completely informed every step of the way. I am especially appreciative of her very sound advice. I thought all of her recommendations were well considered and sensible, and following them all proved to be very advantageous to me. Even in this difficult housing market, this sale, under Heather's guidance, went quickly and smoothly. And, she has a wonderful sense of humor.

I would be very pleased to give Heather the highest marks and to refer her without reservation to anyone looking to work together with an excellent agent.
