"Heidi is at the BEST!!!! She listened to me and she is extremely knowledgeable. She is very detailed which was really important to me. She took me through the total process and was at my side always....going to County, getting old permits, etc. Her advise was excellent. I found the house of my dreams and it took one year to find it. I was respected and felt no pressure from her, so I could wait for the right opportunity. I just can not say enough good things about her. Some agents want to be your so-called friend.....but when I am going to spend a lot of money..... I want a professional.....AND THAT WAS HEIDI ROBINSON."

Testimonials
"Heidi was an excellent realtor. My husband and I were looking for a house while living 4 hours away from our desired location. Heidi acted as our eyes, ears, and hands when we could not be there in person. She was extremely perceptive in helping us find exactly what we wanted. She has great communication skills, is extremely knowledgeable about the houses and communities around her, and is a hard worker. It truly felt like a friend was helping us find our home."
by Lora Kinnison"I highly recommend Heidi Robinson as realtor. I have worked with other realtors, and although they were competent, Heidi was without doubt the best. I recommend her for three basic reasons: 1) she knows the market, 2) she has mastery of the complicated 'nuts and bolts' of the ENTIRE purchase process, from loan brokerage, to qualification. escrow, inspections, you name it, and most important, 3) she is able to quickly understand what her clients want, and then find that kind of property. I was really impressed at how fast Heidi understood my pretty picky mix of wants and don't wants--combined with a demanding price point. It's like she had ESP; in a very short time, I think we made two tours of properties, she was able to 'home in' (pun intended) on the house I wanted, in the area I wanted, the type of situation (privacy) I wanted...and the price I wanted. She guided, she shepherded me through the purchase process, she 'held my hand' and calmed me when I got frustrated, and I am 100% sure that without her help I never would have found this house, or if, by some miracle, I had found it, the deal would have fallen through. The purchase process is complex, and it can break down or be delayed at many points--and then you lose the house you want, you lose time and you end up paying more. California is a competitive market and not acting quickly enough or in the right sequence, a matter of a day, can cost you. That's why I'm so convinced that having Heidi on my side was the key in making my house purchase fast, painless, successful and profitable. Now I have my home, I'm delighted with it, and Heidi got me such a good deal that I've already seen equity growth--within one year. Thanks so much Heidi, and I look forward to buying my next property with you as well."
by Patrick Marder"Thanks to Heidi, my home sold within one week of listing - for asking price. I was selling the home on behalf of my sister who had passed away several years ago. It was not a quick or easy process for me and Heidi was compassionate and patient, but firm, clear and always professional with her recommendations and guidance. She was realistic and did not over promise and I trusted her throughout the process. What also impressed me is Heidi's knowledge of real estate and willingness to teach me along the way - I ask a lot of questions and she patiently and expertly explained all the rules and procedures. She knows the industry, the laws and has good resources and contacts. ? "THIS SALE WAS A BIT MORE WORK DUE TO PROBATE RULES AND TRUSTS, BUT SHE AND THE ESCROW COMPANY GUIDED ME THROUGH AND I FELT WELL REPRESENTED THROUGHOUT." Her guidance in preparing the home was invaluable - the pictures looked great and the house showed well thanks to her suggestions. We had a ton of interest right away. I started the process last year (2017) and got sidetracked with work and family, then picked it up again this spring 2018. Heidi stuck with me and never pressured me - but when it was 'go-time' she was rock steady and made everything happen right away. I am very grateful for her skills, knowledge and experience and highly recommend her as your agent."
