Homeownership: The Foundation for Your Future

Ownership | Investment | Guidance

A home is more than an address. It’s where your favorite people gather, where the "big ugly cries" happen, and where you find a soft place to land at the end of a long day. It is the backdrop of your life and a vital investment in your future.

As your guide, I don’t just open doors; I navigate the complexities of the market and negotiate fiercely on your behalf. My passion is rooted in the belief that when you are empowered by knowledge, you make the best decisions for your life and your legacy.

The "Hard-Working Gene," I come from a long line of entrepreneurs. My family operated a beloved bakery in Ravenna for over 60 years, and I’m convinced that the drive to serve my community is in my DNA. Before transitioning to real estate, I owned a pottery studio and a coffee shop, and spent a decade in tech software sales.

That background is my "secret sauce." It taught me that luxury-level customer care is all about the details—staying ahead of new laws, mastering shifting forms, and anticipating market highs and lows so you don’t have to.

Beyond the Contract When I’m not analyzing market data, I’m building my own memories:

  • Family First: My husband, my boys, my daughters-in-law, and my twin grandsons.

  • The Co-Pilot: My English Cream Retriever, Phoebe Jean.

  • Local Soul: Long walks, local coffee shops, and exploring new cities.

  • The Kitchen: Baking something delicious (the bakery gene at work!).

Let’s Build Something Lasting Whether you are buying or selling, you deserve a broker who is as invested in your journey as you are. 

I was always told if you can’t say it best yourself, find someone else to say it for you.
 
“We met Heather at an open house when we were first starting our house hunt, and we immediately connected with her and asked her to be our buyer's agent. Heather is an amazing agent. She is results-oriented and easy to work with…her corporate experience is totally relevant; she clearly knows her stuff and leverages the more senior agents on her team when she needs to. Heather proactively prepared us for the house hunt and the market environment. We were able to land a house on our first offer. Throughout the process, Heather worked very hard for us and provided balanced advice. She is well organized and thorough. We would definitely recommend Heather to anyone.“

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We met Heather in early December 2017, when she was showing an open house. We were very impressed with Heather who was very amicable and listened to our situation and asked questions and provided advice during the open house. She followed up very promptly that same evening with the answers to some of our questions. Before hiring Heather to represent us, we asked multiple questions and Heather was very ho...

Working with Heather and JD Blacksmith was a pleasure! They are professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and have our best interests at heart. Their attention to detail made the process easy to navigate. They kept us informed every step of the way and negotiated great deals on both the buying and selling of our homes.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

From the moment we were interested in starting the process of buying a home until closing, Heather was an amazing Real Estate Agent. Her consistency, experience, and ability to communicate and negotiate well with the broker, seller, and us was outstanding. At the beginning of the process, she made sure we went through the pre-approval process with her broker to ensure we would be competitive with our off...

— Zunigas

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Heather was absolutely delightful to work with. We bought a house with her and we also sold a house with her. We had specific criteria we wanted in a home and Heather kept looking for us. She knew our needs and desires and they were a priority for her. The advice she gave us was both thoughtful and professional. We didn’t want to do many updates before we sold our house. Heather convinced us we really ne...

— Katie T.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Heather was invaluable in our home-buying process. She was quick to understand what we were looking for in a home and, as first-time home buyers, an essential guide to the daunting process. She really had our best interests at heart, and we are so pleased with the way things shook out. She was especially helpful in putting together a competitive bid–if it weren't for her insight, we would have missed out...

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Shannon, Thank you for the lovely personal transaction. I am so thankful for the work you put into this home. Your care and thoughtfulness shine through! I appreciated your help the whole way and the bubbly at the end! Cheers!

— Heather R.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We met Heather at an open house when we were first starting our house hunt, and we immediately connected with her and asked her to be our buyer's agent. Heather is an amazing agent. She is results-oriented and easy to work with. Even though she is fairly new to the world of real estate, her corporate experience is totally relevant; she clearly knows her stuff and leverages the more senior agents on her t...

— Dorothy & Dawn

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I was terrified about the process of buying a home. I had no idea what I was doing or how any of this worked. Heather walked me through every part of it and answered all of my questions. She is so knowledgeable and patient when teaching others about what goes into buying a home. Not only that, but Heather worked so hard to find me the perfect spot! She could always tell when I was not really wanting a ho...

— Nick D.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

In July of this year, my wife and I decided to pursue the next chapter of our journey in the greater Seattle area. With little more than a general knowledge of Seattle and its surrounding towns that was almost 30 years old, we set off to find a home. Thank goodness that our first call was to Realtor Heather Blacksmith! Heather, with her keen understanding of our needs as well as of Seattle and the surrou...

— Robert & Heather

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

When we decided to sell our house and purchase a new one we asked a neighbor who recently used the services of Heather Blacksmith if they'd recommend her. With enthusiasm, the neighbor elaborated on why she and her husband were so pleased to work with Heather and encouraged us to give her a call. Our call to Heather was one of the best decisions we could have made! Within hours Heather met with us. We ar...

— Mel E. & Peter S.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Heather did an outstanding job selling our family home and purchasing our new place in a dream location. She is extremely professional with an easy going approach and will bend over backwards to make sure you as the client are pleased with the outcome. Heather is an exceptional project manager who truly goes the extra mile for her clients. We faced a very tight timetable to put the house on the market an...

— Shawn & Julianne C.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Heather was on it for us! After watching and looking at thousands of homes on Redfin and Zillow we found one that we liked on the edge of Monroe. Heather took us to see it (after showing us several others that weren’t the right ones) and we loved it! Heather managed a crazy negotiation process and helped push our offer to the top. We are so grateful for her keen insight, patient heart, and professional p...

— Jim & Sara C.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Heather was awesome to work with - communicative, reachable, and really resourceful. We had a weird seller who wouldn’t entertain our offer for some reason, but Heather was persistent and helped us move things along. We are first-time homebuyers so it was really nice having someone so knowledgeable who could guide us through the process. Thank you, Heather!

— Catrina R.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

I am a first-time homebuyer thanks to Heather and cannot recommend her enough. She is equal parts comforting and knowledgeable. She moved at our pace completely - meeting with us an entire year in advance of our purchase date to help educate us on the road ahead without applying any pressure, but then hitting the pavement hard at warp speed when we were finally ready. She really took the time with us and...

— Cassie C.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Heather is hands-down one of the best agents out there. I have worked with her several times now as both a buyer and a seller. She is communicative, attentive, and knows the real estate business inside and out. Her knowledge and skills are extraordinary; I can always count on her to get the best deal possible. As long as Heather is around, I'll never work with anyone else!

— Dan W.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We moved to the north of Seattle suburbs on a 3-month lease while looking to buy. This was during the summer of 2018, in the middle of an insanely difficult housing market for buyers. Being new to the area, we were unfamiliar with the challenges buyers were facing. We were given Heather's contact information by our lender and couldn’t have been more satisfied with the process. While the process of home b...

— Justin J.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Heather Blacksmith rescued my family and I when we needed it most! We had just moved across the country with a newborn and a toddler for a new job. How thankful we are that the first real estate contact we had was Heather because she was so diligent. At the time, the market was so fast-paced, inventory was so limited, and we did not have much cash to offer competitively. Heather worked with us and our cr...

— Garrett S.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We were introduced to Heather through a mutual friend - and we are so glad that we were! From the start, Heather was a pleasure to work with and put us at ease on our house hunt. Being new to the area, Heather gave us great advice from a local perspective and helped us think about and understand all the variables that led to the successful purchase of our new home. Throughout the process, it was clear th...
