" Heather was referred to us by another professional in the real estate world. We are college parents looking to make an investment in a condo. She knows the area and the market very well. She showed us as many condos as we wanted and she was available on a minute's notice. She responded immediately to any questions. She coordinated inspection and follow-up items. I highly recommend using Heather to purchase your next condo or home or to get your home sold! She is very professional and was awesome to work with! "

" Heather was absolutely amazing for my wife and I to work with. She possesses all of the traits that you want in a Real Estate Professional. She does all of the basic tasks (planning, negotiating, relationship building) really well, and then goes far beyond just that. She was aggressive if we wanted her to be aggressive, she understood when we wanted to be patient, and she really helped us understand the process. She also makes you really feel that it means a lot to her that you end up in the best home for you. I would recommend Heather above anyone else in any market. "

" Heather McElroy came highly recommended by a family friend. I was so fortunate to meet Heather and get her support and assistance with the sale of my home. She offered meaningful advice that prepared my house to be shown at its best. I benefited from her extraordinary commitment in many ways, including unlocking doors for workmen coming and going. Heather consistently went above any of my expectations. I no longer lived in Athens and she did countless things for me that I could never repay. "

" My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Berkshire Hathaway realtor Heather McElroy. We moved to Athens from California 9 months ago and had no idea what part of the city we wanted to live in much less find a home. Before we ever discussed buying a house, Heather took us on a tour of Athens so we could get our bearings straight and then told us to call when we were ready to look for homes. She took us to see a good number of homes for sale … but they just weren’t “the one.” Finally, before the listing for a new home for sale ever went public, she got us into see the place that we ended up buying and will be living in shortly. It is perfect! Not only did she find the house we bought, Heather also sold the refrigerator from the original owners and gave us the money! Now that’s something! We would certainly recommend Heather McElroy for all your future real estate needs. "

- jo975

" Heather was an awesome agent. She was extremely knowledgeable about the local market and trends. Our house sold the first weekend it was in the market with several full price offers. She helped us choose the best offer and negotiate all the way until closing. I would highly recommend Heather to anyone ready to sell their home. "

" Heather has been absolutely fantastic. She has explained every detail to me so that it was easily understandable. For every step of the process she has stayed in touch with me and answered any questions I’ve had. Home buying is a stressful process. I can’t imagine the stress I would have gone through with out her beside me the entire way. I can’t thank her enough. "

" Heather is wonderful. Thank you for the tour! "

- Peggy McGee

" My wife and I were probably not the easiest clients as we really didn’t know exactly what we wanted. Heather was incredibly patient and very adept at helping us get to our destination. Once we settled in our our top picks, she walked us through the benefits/barriers of each. Not one ounce pushy and very professional. We have been delighted "

- david b

" After asking three different friends and work colleagues for realtor recommendations and being told they would NOT recommend the realtor they used for recent transaction, we finally got Heather McElroy's information. Heather worked for us throughout the process. She provided excellent information about the house construction for various properties she showed us, and was very knowledgeable about all aspects of the purchase. We had an unusual situation with our home purchase and she navigated the various aspects--legal, building inspector and financial--with expertise. We would definitely recommend Heather to our friends and colleagues. "

- Paula D

" Ms. McElroy was very valuable to us as we transitioned from a hectic job to retirement while also selling our home in Athens, Ga. We relied on her real estate expertise in every aspect of the process and are we glad we did. She was right on target in advising us on everything from the pricing of our home to all of the details we needed to consider while making multiple decisions. It was such a great experience. We have sold multiple properties over the years and this was by far the smoothest and least hassles of any previous sales. We can not say enough good things about Ms. McElroy. Thanks for helping us make this transition as easy as possible. "

- debmurr66

" I have known Heather for more than 10 years and she is my go-to for anything real estate or home related. I have bought and sold with her multiple times and each time her professionalism, knowledge and experience has made the hassle of real estate transactions a breeze. Even after a sale I know I can always reach out to her for advice on who to call for home related services and they have always been amazing. I can't recommend her enough! "

- DavidSchiliro

" Heather expertly and steadfastly guided me through an unusually long, arduous process of purchasing my current home from a difficult seller. I initially sought Heather's services based on my research of Realtors operating in the Athens Eastside area, as she seemed to have a great combination of local knowledge and credentials (especially, her Buyer Representative Accreditation), and she did not disappoint. She clearly had my best interests in mind during the whole process, and helped me avoid some potential pitfalls along the way I might have otherwise easily failed to recognize. Heather is a wealth of knowledge regarding real estate and does her utmost to make herself available to answer any questions or offer her wisdom and advice, whether by email, over the phone, via text message, or in-person. (Having purchased and sold only one home previously, my real estate knowledge was fairly limited beforehand, and I had a number of misconceptions; but I feel like I learned a great deal from working with her to purchase my current home.) Heather was always a pleasure to deal with and talk to, for her friendly personality as well as her knowledge and professionalism. If you are looking to buy a home in the Athens area, I don't see how you could go wrong with Heather McElroy as your Realtor. -Jaime M. Collazo "

" I have been working with Heather for 13 years. Heather makes my life easier when it comes to buying or selling real estate. The first transaction was the sale of my personal home. Heather was able to sell my house quickly at full price when the housing market was at its lowest point. I have recommended Heather to many friends. They have all called and thanked me after she either helped them sell or buy. "

" Heather McElroy is hands-down the best realtor in Athens. If you want personal attention and someone who goes above and beyond for their clients, you will not be disappointed. I have worked with Heather numerous times, referred many people to her, and trust her completely. She always gives sound advice that is based on years of experience and works tirelessly for her clients. I cannot recommend her highly enough! "

" We could not have completed this experience without Heather. We were buying a house in a touhg/tight market while living out of state. Heather was extremely knowledgeable and easy to get in touch with and kept us up to date on what was happening with out offers. With all the other stressors of the move, it was great to feel completely confident that she would take care of everything that needed doing on the house buying front. "

- Sarah S

" Heather has represented our family in real estate transactions twice, and she has worked and negotiated hard for us both times. She walked us through the selling process, from preparing our house for pictures to vetting offers. It's clear she does her research and knows the area and the people in it. She was super responsive to our calls and texts and was realistic with us about our expectations. Heather gave us peace of mind. She worked tirelessly to get us the best deal possible. She is the absolute best in the business, and we wouldn't trust anyone else with our Athens-area real estate transactions. "

" Heather is a great listener who respects her client’s timeline, price point, and perspective. Her recommendations are backed by research, analysis, and an unwavering loyalty to her clients. She worked with us for a couple of years and never lost patience as we considered a variety of options for a local move. We absolutely love our new house, and her guidance was essential during every step of our process. Heather’s skill and professionalism during price negotiations was a game changer, and she confidently represented our interests with facts and knowledge of the market. An accomplished UGA alumna, Heather will “Attack the Day” and work tirelessly for you too! "

- jennifer e

" As a first time home buyer, I was nervous and had little idea of what to expect. Heather truly excelled at managing my expectations and held my hand through the entire process making it as easy and painless as possible. She only showed me options in my price range/desired area and, and within two weeks we found my dream home! Negotiations were quick and breezy—she knew everything to ask for that would never have occurred to me due to my inexperience and I felt she fought for everything with my best interest at heart. I know many friends and clients of my own who have also choosen her as their realtor and have been just as pleased with her expertise as I was! I was grateful for her knowledge and patience during such a monumental purchase. I recommend her to everyone I can! "

- lmkviklys

" Heather came highly recommended when we were searching for our first home, and we are so happy we were able to work with her. Her knowledge of the Athens area and its market is extensive, and her professionalism and personable nature made even the most technical steps in the purchasing process easy. We knew we wanted to work with her again when we sold our home a few years later. With her help, we received offers immediately. She worked diligently to bring us to closing, and made being a first-time seller just as easy as when we were first-time buyers. Buying or selling a home can seem daunting and not easily navigable- especially if it's your first time. Having full confidence in your realtor is paramount, which is why we cannot recommend Heather enough. Placing your trust in her will come easily, and you can rest assured she will work tirelessly in helping you on your journey to success! "

" Heather was referred to us by a close friend. As first-time homebuyers, Heather was an excellent resource to us. She worked with us on shaping our expectations and guiding us through each step of the homebuying process. She would answer our questions at all hours, and she never failed to have a thoughtful response. She helped us find and purchase our dream home in a tight housing market. We cannot recommend her services highly enough. You won’t be disappointed! "

- ellettj50

" I sold my house and bought my new house with Heather. She is a class act who is always on the ball with every detail. Heather is up to date on marketing your home to many diverse markets. We sold our house very quickly. While looking for our new house Heather pointed out many items that I didn't see. Many times I saw the pretty items and didn't realize that the windows were single pane windows and the electrical was not updated. Without Heathers keen eye, knowledge and general concern for my family, who knows what I may have purchased. Being a single mom this whole process was scary until I meet Heather and had her on my team. Heather always represented us during these transactions as if we were her family. If you are looking for an agent who loves her job, is great at it, will protect your rights, then Heather McElroy is the one for you. "

" Our experience with Heather McElroy was unbelievable. Everything was seamless and easy. The way she listed the home and her knowledge of the market was unbelievable. Especially in these crazy real estate times, Heather knew her stuff and predicted the results. It’s obvious she’s done this for a long time. We would not hesitate to use her again in a heartbeat. "

- Anisa Zvonkovic

" Heather helped me buy my house in Athens when I first moved there and then to sell the same house when I moved out of state this summer (2022). When I bought she helped to keep me focused on finding a house that would meet my needs but that would also appreciate in value in a great neighborhood. As I prepared to sell that house 8 years later, Heather made suggestions about what was important to do to prepare the house for sale and shared her contacts for getting things done quickly. It was a crazy market and a stressful time, but Heather helped me navigate the selling process easily, clearly, and directly. Her communication, integrity, and ethical approach to real estate are qualities that I will forever seek in an agent. Thank you, Heather! "

" Heather has represented us in three separate real estate transactions since we have lived in Athens and we could not be more pleased. Even though we knew we weren't her only clients, she made us feel as such via her concierge level of service.

- joeobee

" Heather is an awesome Realtor. My company has worked with her on more than 75 transactions since I came on board in 2014. She is a top agent in the local market but she is also one of the hardest working real estate professionals that I know. (I know thousands) We work with home buyers and I know that she always puts her clients interests first and goes above and beyond to make sure they understand what they are purchasing. Homebuying can be a stressful and confusing process. Heather guides her clients through the process and makes sure they are taken care of every step of the way. She is very responsive, and reliable and her transactions go smoothly because of her attentiveness and committment to the highest professional standards. I would not hesitate to recommend her to a buyer or seller in any real estate transaction. "

- Eugene L

" Heather did a wonderful job selling our house. She knew our neighborhood well and got us multiple offers over asking in a short time frame. We had already moved out of he sealed so Heather had to handle many of the details of the sale. Having her guide through the process made everything much easier during a difficult time. "

We put a ton of trust in Heather and it was repaid with a smooth home buying experience despite the difficult circumstances. I'm not sure how we would have pulled it off without her.

" Heather is a fantastic realtor that I can't recommend enough. She assisted my wife and I to buy our home. The type of service Heather delivers is of utmost quality. She is accessible, highly knowledgeable and patient to explain all the real estate terminology, always very friendly with us yet very firm, direct, and respectful with the seller realtor when something wasn't matching our expectations. She really stood up to defend my wife and I's best interest and always made sure we were getting the most we could out of a situation. Heather really made a big positive impact in our experience of buying a home. I can't imagine going through such a complex process without a highly qualified professional as Heather.
