I have used Realtors in the past to buy and sell houses. Heather was head and shoulders above the rest. It was a great relief to trust that she was doing the right things at the right time when we sold our house. She went beyond the extra mile coordinating with contractors, roofers and agents. We had moved far enough away that it was difficult to get back to the house, so she stepped in and made the process as easy as it could be. She even spent extra hours sorting out an ancient permit issue with the city which could have been a nightmare but ended up costing us 20 bucks! Also, when repair addendum items were being negotiated, she was savvy yet fair in structuring things to reduce our risk and ensure that we completed the sale on time with a happy seller and buyer which I appreciated very much. I have done this before, but she was on top of things that I hadn't even considered. It is so nice to go through this process with someone that I trusted at every step. I will recommend her repeatedly and will definitely use her again. read more

I contacted Heather when I wanted to sell my house. What a treasure I found. She is very knowledgable about the current market and gave me excellent advice. I asked for input on what I could do to make my house ready to sell. She made some suggestions which really paid off. The results were my house was on the market for one week and I got an offer for what I was asking. The rest is history. But along the way, she was very helpful in every way, handling repairman, letting them in, getting bids for repairs. I felt like she worked hard to earn my trust. She was always on time for appointments. She did great job in communication. Her skill at negotiations is superb. I needed someone in my court and she was the best one for the job. Thank you, Heather, you're the best. I would recommend her in a heartbeat and if I need services again, she is the one I will turn to. read more

My wife & I used Roost Realty to sell our rental house; the experience far exceeded our expectations! Heather offered very good advice, and even added nice staging touches to make the empty house attractive. She worked hard at generating interest in the property. Great photography and write-up on the listing. Given the buyer's market, she helped us wade through the low-ball offers, with good advice on where to give and where to stand firm, which resulted in agreeable terms. Most amazingly, she went way above the call of duty just prior to the closing - the buyer's radon test came in *just* over the limit, but meanwhile we were caught out of the country and unable to handle it. Heather jumped in, found a good contractor, and handled the whole mitigation effort for us. Wow. Thank you! No hesitation top recommendation. read more

I just bought my first house and I found Heather to be very helpful, considerate, and open with communication. She explained the process and what she would and would not be doing. She did not push to upsell or in any way change my stated budget. She worked with my schedule to walk thru a few houses and once I selected one kept a daily contact with me throughout the negotiation and repair process. She has also recommend a number of contractors to help with other repairs which made price matching easier. Heather has and continues to go above and beyond what I expected. She was not pushy but would supply her opinion and let me make up my own choices. I hope that she sticks around for a long time should I ever find the need to sell this house or buy another one! read more

Heather helped me buy my very first home. I was unfamiliar with the process and Heather guided me along with utmost patience and understanding. When it came time for inspections and work negotiations, she had great knowledge and a fantastic line up of contractors so everything went smoothly and without a glitch. The most impressive thing Heather did for me was convince the seller that I was the right person to buy this house. Considering how many buyers were looking and bidding on this particular home, I can only thank Heather's negotiating skills for getting it! I would highly recommend Heather and Roost Realty to my friends. read more

We choose Heather based on her high rating on Yelp to sell and purchase homes. We found her to be very professional, quick to answer and return phone calls, knowledgeable, friendly, and very easy to work with. It was almost an eight month relationship and we'd definitely recommend her to others. The title agent that was used to purchase our house said that Heather along with Andrea Moore with NW Mortgage were an impressive team as she'd never seen a purchase come together so smoothly from her end. We love our new home and thank Heather for that! read more

Heather is amazing. We used her to both buy and sell a house in Portland and in both cases she was the most helpful and organized realtor we've ever had. We had to sell our home in a "down market" and I truly think it's because of her pricing advice, staging, and marketing strategies that we were able to get multiple offers in just 3 days. Heather is always professional, knowledgeable about a wide variety of neighborhoods, and was always available when we needed her. Can't recommend her enough. read more

Heather just helped us buy our first house. We heard about her through a friend, and we were not disappointed. We ended up looking at a lot of houses with Heather before we found the perfect one. Heather always let us know any of the issues she saw with the house, or why she thought a house was a good house. She is very knowledgeable and made the whole house buying experience very easy. She coordinated a lot of stuff for us during the negotiation and repair process. We would highly recommend her. read more

Heather helped us short sell our house. The entire idea was scary and overwhelming to us. Heather walked us through every step. She kept on the bank to make sure things kept moving and that we didn't have to keep resending the same information over and over as we had in our previous dealings with them. From listing to closing was just short of three months, which, from what I understand is unheard of in a short sale situation. I would highly recommend Heather and Roost Realty. read more

My wife and I bought two houses through Heather. We have also recommended her to friends who also bought houses with her, and the unanimous verdict is that she is awesome. She's smart, congenial, and lacks that creepy, predatory, artificial vibe that afflicts 90% of the realty profession. She seems genuinely interested in getting people houses that will make them happy. A good human, and pleasant to deal with. If you don't like her, you probably need a shrink more than a realtor. read more

I was fortunate enough to find Heather 10 years ago when I bought my first investment house. Since then she has helped my wife and I buy our personal home and one other investment house. I think above all I would say Heather is trustworthy--I feel she always has my best interests at heart. She has a great "read" on the real estate market and is a great communicator. After 10 years she has become a friend and I wouldn't use anyone else as my realtor. read more

Heather helped us buy our house in Portland, and found us everything we were looking for. She is patient and thorough, and I can't recommend her highly enough. When we had to sell the same house a few years later, Heather did a fantastic job, getting three offers above our asking price within just a few days. Whether you're buying or selling, you should talk to Heather Williams at Roost Realty! read more

My husband and I have worked with Heather twice--when we bought our first home in 2002 and again in 2009 when we sold that home and bought another in a nearby neighborhood. Heather is great to work with --always friendly and accessible, a good listener, encouraging and honest with her advice. I imagine we will work with her again if we ever sell our newer home! read more

I used Heather a few months ago when I was looking to by a condo. I didn't really understand how the whole process went and was a little scared. Heather was super understanding and helpful, and made me feel really comfortable. I ended up not buying a condo because I decided to wait a little bit, but when I do decide to buy I will be giving Heather a call. read more

Oh - I'm so glad Heather started her own Realty company! I used her a couple years ago looking for a condo. Although, I ended up not buying one yet, I had a great experience with her. She always gave me honest advice about the condos we looked at and never made me feel that I had to make a quick decision. I'd highly recommend Roost Realty. read more
