Some careers you tolerate. Others you celebrate. That’s the difference between punching a clock and building a legacy. For Heather Schwartz, real estate is a full-throttle passion. Idle is not in her vocabulary. This self-starter wakes up ready to chase opportunities, open doors, and make the so-called impossible happen.
“Real estate is something that I love,” Heather says with unmistakable energy. “I love it when new developments are going up. I love finding the right community for the right clients.”
And that’s exactly what she does. Whether it’s selling million-dollar Marshall fire rebuilds or helping a young single mom find the perfect new build where she and her kids can thrive near schools and sports fields, Heather thrives on matching people with possibilities.
From Florida to Colorado
Born in South Florida, Heather got her start in Human Resources in the cruise industry and quickly transitioned to the tech scene when she moved to Colorado. Her grandparents were active in the commercial real estate scene and she was exposed to the industry from an early age. Little did she know that her real estate roots would come full circle after retiring from Human Resources.
When she made the move to Colorado to earn her MBA, she wasn’t planning to fall in love with the Centennial State and everything it had to offer.
“I never went back to Florida,” she smiles. Instead, she spent 25 years as a powerhouse recruiter in Boulder’s tech scene, the go-to for startups fueled by venture capital. She was known for spotting top talent and making connections that fueled innovation.

noticed. She built her life here with 25 years rooted in Boulder, raising kids, volunteering, and serving as treasurer for the PTO. She was also active in the JCC, the Boulder Valley School District accountability committee, and was a faithful marching band and soccer mom. Her interactions with others paid off.
Those deep community ties give her a distinct advantage today. Knowing neighborhoods, understanding taxes and metro districts, and having HR connections from years in recruiting help her guide clients. Her unique mix of professional insight and community engagement makes her a trusted voice in Boulder real estate.
Overcoming Obstacles
Heather’s career launched with some of the most emotional deals possible: Marshall Fire rebuilds. A close friend of 20 years lost their home, and Heather guided them through the painful process of selling and starting over.
Her very first listing—a $1.3 million fire rebuild—was a trial by fire of its own. “I walked in and thought, I need to stage this. I was brand-new and learning fast. I got lucky. The house sold fast to a relocating family from Steamboat right before school started.”
That pressure-cooker start forged Heather’s confidence and her reputation. She doesn’t flinch under pressure. She delivers.
One secret to her success? “I’ve had very successful mentors in real estate along the way, who have walked me through.” With the support of seasoned mentors like Ardee Imerman and Janet Borchert at WK Real Estate, along with the entire WK team, Heather has made a name for herself in real estate. She landed on the Wright Kingdom Team. “I picked local because I believed in everything local in Colorado.”
Another secret to success is her years of experience. As she says, “With age comes wisdom.” With the passage of time, she has learned to trust her instincts, network relentlessly, and always stay involved. Her LinkedIn network, built over years in recruiting, is a powerful asset, and she still taps
into HR circles to help relocating employees find the right fit.
“Having those connections to the tech industry has set me apart,” she says. Her net worth is her network.
Active Interests
When she’s not closing deals, Heather is on the move. She plays tennis in a women’s league, hikes with her two yellow labs, plays pickleball, and enjoys mahjong. She also leads women’s hikes through the JCC, combining her love for community with her love for the outdoors. She likes to relax and recharge in nature.
At home, Heather and her husband—a talented finance executive—team up on investment properties, with him crunching numbers and cap rates while she scouts opportunities. Together, they’ve raised two amazing collegeage kids who are blazing their own trails in the world.
The Heather Difference
PROOF
What makes Heather stand out isn’t just her résumé; it’s her mindset. She doesn’t force transactions. She doesn’t chase quick wins. She builds relationships that last, bringing together her recruiting skills, community roots, and real estate savvy to create outcomes that fit.
The result? A REALTOR® who’s just getting started but already making waves. Heather isn’t here to tolerate real estate. She’s here to celebrate it. And she’s just getting warmed up.
