Home ownership builds future stability and life-long memories
Family | Investment | Guide
Homeownership is all about family and the memories you make with the people you love. It’s a soft place to land at the end of a hard day. It’s the place for belly laughs and big ugly cries. Living life! I love and believe in this “soft place” so much I am passionate about helping you to find your home. Owning your home is also an investment in your future. Through my years of homeownership, moves and family, I see tremendous value in real estate. I am eager to provide trusted real estate guidance for your future investments. As your guide, I will navigate and negotiate on your behalf, vetting you the best outcome for all of your real estate journeys.
How I build my life-long memories
• My boys and one daughter-in-law
• Black lab named Hank and English Cream Retriever, Phoebe Jean
• Long walks and coffee shops
• Beach vacations and exploring new cities
• Baking anything and then eating the goodness
Little-known fact
I come from a long line of entrepreneurs. My great-grandfather, grandpa and uncle owned a bakery in Ravenna for 60 plus years. I am convinced the hard-working business owner gene was passed down to me. In my former years, I owned and operated my own little pottery painting business and coffee shop. I know my life and work experience have made me passionate about customer care!

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. In addition, she recommended a great mortgage broker. 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.“

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 that Heather had our best interests at heart. As we viewed different homes, Heather kept us awar...
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 ask 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 ask multiple questions and Heather was very honest and truthful with us. She then looked for a suitable condo, and within a few days came u...
In May 2020, my husband and I decided "hey, we should buy a house instead of continuing to rent"! We knew absolutely nothing about the housing market, home loans, or how to search for a home. Our friends recommended we contact Heather and start from there. From the very beginning, Heather was kind, helpful, and very easy to work with. She met us in our own neighborhood, and worked with our schedules. She found us options in the areas we were hopeful about, and excitedly saw the homes with us. We...
In July of this year, my wife and I decided to purse 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 year 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 surrounding area was instrumental in our search. She not only helped us select a municipalit...
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 on the house that we so love. Heather is friendly, trustworthy, and really knows her stuf...
We moved to north of Seattle suburbs on a 3 month lease while looking to buy. This was during summer of 2018, in the middle of a insanely difficult housing market for buyers. Being new to the area, we were unfamiliar with 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 buying was much more challenging than we expected (competitiveness, we were not familiar with the area, a...
We wanted to thank you for your assistance in purchasing our new home! You were very accessible, always positive, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the whole process. We highly recommend your services to anyone interested in purchasing a home. Thanks again!
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 team when she needs to. Heather proactively prepared us for the house hunt and the market env...
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 house we were visiting and would not let me settle on something that wasn't right for me. ...
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 offer when the time came. This early step in the process, as well as Heather’s negotiation and q...
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 are beyond pleased Heather represented us in the listing and sale of our house as well as the pu...
