Testimonials

"Heather is an exemplary person AND professional,follow through,conscientious,attentive,attention to detail. I could not be happier or more grateful for her in this process of life's new beginnings."
Carmen Ownens (Ossining)

"
Heather has been an amazing resource during our house hunting
experience. She just gets it. She understood what we were looking for
(and what we weren't), and went above and beyond with prospective
homes, taking detailed pictures and videos for us when making the trek
from Brooklyn just wasn't possible. We also really appreciated her
candor in giving us ballpark numbers for renovations we were
considering, and for sharing leads for contractors. Especially since as first-time buyers we had no frame
of reference for these things. She was committed to us, almost always available, and gave very solid, very personalized advice. She also doubled as babysitter when we had our little girl with us. In short, Heather is awesome and we would
recommend her to anyone!"
Matthew and Maggie (Croton- On Hudson)

"We wound up working with Heather when our original agent was not available. She is an extremely hard working and prepared realtor, frequently going to broker showings or doing drive bys of houses we are interested in. She brings a large depth of knowledge of the market in the area. That tied with her enthusiastic and kind demeanor towards us has made our search both enjoyable and easy."
Kyle and Dana (Croton- On Hudson)

"Selling a home isn't just a transaction. We tried a realtor who said 'trust the process.' What we have learned is the process is one that needs to be managed and created with business expertise, emotional intelligence and grit! With Heather as our agent we know she has all this and more. She is someone we trust with our home and future. As we are currently overseas the trust we place in Heather isn't just in the process of selling our home. But also taking into to consideration the impact on our current renters and the unique challenges as we are not present. Heather is not just our realtor but truly our agent - - someone representing the value of our home and the memories we have living in Westchester. I can not give a strong enough recommendation for Heather as a realtor and as someone who 'has our back.' Heather is dedicated to getting the job done with elegance and smarts. She has our utmost respect and gratitude."
Robin (Yorktown Heights)

"Highly recommended!!! I can?t say enough good things about our experience working with Heather. She was the perfect balance of everything you?d want in a real estate agent. She was straightforward and honest, and very knowledgeable of the local Westchester market. She listened to what we were looking for, helped us narrow down the areas where we were looking, and actually found our house for us? it was somehow outside of my parameters on Zillow (to think i could have missed it!!) yet was exactly what we were looking for. She was never pushy (to us), just supportive and informative. But when it came to representing us, she was aggressive where it counts... from ensuring we put together an attractive offer (the winning offer in a multiple bid situation!), to helping us find an amazing lawyer and mortgage broker, to getting the top of the line inspectors lined up quickly. It was all seamlessly orchestrated by Heather? as first time home buyers, we were constantly in awe by how easy she made the process. When there were bumps on the road through the mortgage process, she pulled strings to get things moving again quickly. It was really amazing to see. She could have easily sat back at that point, knowing the deal would ultimately go through, but she kept working in the background, moving things along for us. By the end of the process, we were so happy to be in our house, but sad that we didn?t get to have continued daily conversations with Heather! She was so easy to work with. I highly recommend her, as well as any of her referrals for attorneys, mortgage team, inspectors, etc. She is truly a gem, and we feel lucky to have been introduced to her! A shoutout to suburban jungle as well, who connected us to Heather!

" Heather and her team did a wonderful job of staging my Parents house and there is no doubt that it added to its timely and expeditious sale. Right from the start with her explanation of steps, execution and removal of not only added furniture but pictures and plants she communicated with us throughout the process so we always knew where she and her team were with the process. Most importantly her tasteful and well thought out plans for each room (both inside and out) never took away from the existing flavor and theme of my Parents home and this helped to keep the uniqueness of the property intact" Job well done (-:

"Heather is the best realtor I have ever worked with (I have bought and sold multiple properties over the years). She took time to discuss what I was looking for in a home and ask my thoughts on links she sent in order to tailor our in-person searches. She then thoughtfully considered my likes (and dislikes) and found a home I loved. Heather saw the home was going on the market and showed it to me before I saw it listed anywhere. Once I decided to buy, Heather kept working. She recommended an outstanding and reasonably priced contractor for work I wanted done on the house and provided a list of her best recommendations for every service I have needed. Heather is an outstanding, knowledgeable, and trustworthy realtor. I highly recommend her!

Heather Bouza is an amazing, energetic, talented and professional agent. From the first day she came to my house and said "let's get this sold" and through the entire process of her amazing staging, photos, listing, showing and ultimately closing, Heather demonstrated her love for her profession but also her devotion to her clients. She looked out for me at every turn including interfacing with the buyers, the municipality, the attorneys, the inspectors and every one in between. She knows "what sells" and knows how to create it. Her staging skills put our listing over the top and stood out from our competition. Thank you Heather for an amazing process and successful closing.

"Heather was outstanding. She?s the first realtor I worked with in Westchester that made me feel comfortable and confident with the real estate process. I have dealt with many other realtors in Westchester who dropped the ball or phoned-it-in to collect a fee, but Heather is really special. She puts in the work to get things done, and the results were outstanding. She is matter of fact in her assessments, has a pleasant personality, is strong willed, and pushes for a good result, but she always listened to my point of view, which was important to me. She listed, staged my apartment, helped me with my previous tenants, and held a couple of open houses and other promotional activities. She walked me through a tough time when two offers fell through, and eventually navigated a bidding situation successfully. I owe a lot to her and hope this review will help you make the right decision by choosing Heather to help you buy or sell your next home/apartment

"Incredible doesn't even begin to cover our experience with Heather. We reached out to Heather with one property in mind, a difficult transaction to say the least, and she jumped through every hoop and made herself available to ensure that this deal got over the line. We cannot recommend Heather enough!

"Highly recommend Heather Bouza as Real Estate agent! She is fabulous person and knows so much about real estate and the Westchester NY area. Heather went above and beyond to help us providing advice and ideas throughout the home buying process! Heather completely understood what we were looking for, what we needed and taught us so much. Heather really guided us through our first home purchase in Cortlandt Manor. We're very happy. You should work with Heather!

"Heather was a great and knowledgeable realtor. She helped to sell our home and guide use through the whole process. I would not hesitate to recommend Heather to anyone looking to buy or sell a home."

"Heather is outstanding! My husband and I recently bought our first home with her. We were complete novices but Heather provided amazing support every step of the way. She went above and beyond in showing us around the neighborhoods we were interested in and shared with us so many great tips and resources. Her knowledge of the local areas is extensive and unparalleled! When it came time for us to put in an offer on the house we managed to secure it despite multiple other offers coming in thanks to her guidance and prowess. If there's ever someone you want in your corner when it comes to real estate, it's Heather! She was extremely responsive, made sure the inspection and closing process all went smoothly, gave us great recommendations for local businesses and made us feel so welcome in our new community. Highly, highly recommend her. Thank you Heather for making the experience of buying our first home so easy and enjoyable!

"Heather was amazing to work with. She helped us get an in depth understanding of the neighborhoods and narrow down where we wanted to be. We were new to the process but she made the whole thing go very smoothly, walking us through every step. She also introduced us to amazing contacts to help with other parts or the process and also in the new neighborhood. Super responsive and super savvy, she helped us get a great deal on our dream home even in a crazy market. Can?t thank her enough!

L. Tannenbaum (Bedford Hills, NY)

"We have bought and sold homes in 6 different states, and Heather is hands down the best agent we have ever worked with. In my experience, selling a home is not what I would call a pleasant experience. But Heather sold our home in Cortlandt Manor last spring, and the process, start to finish, was positive, efficient, and professional. Heather gave an honest, confident assessment of our home, and she was spot on about our sale price. Her staging made our home look more beautiful than we thought it could. She networked with people in the area and identified buyers (who ended up purchasing) whose needs fit what our home had to offer. But aside from the business side of things, Heather is a really good person and friend. Her positivity instantly put us at ease about the sale process, and she was responsive and helpful when we hit the inevitable snags that pop up. She maintains good relationships with other agents, which helps tremendously with the reasonableness of negotiations. She knows the area and worked hard to understand us and our goals with the sale. Our home sold quickly and for close to asking. We cannot recommend Heather enough!

"Heather was extremely knowledgeable and professional from the beginning of our house searching right up to the very end. Heather was there for us every step of the way she sold our townhouse within 60 days and found the perfect home for our family. We highly recommend Heather and appreciate her expertise she is amazing at what she does!

"We found Heather through Suburban Jungle, and we are so happy we decided to choose her to be our Realtor. She was very thorough and attentive, she gave us so much information about the towns and areas we were looking for houses in. She has a lot of knowledge about the condition of homes, she took us through every room and helped us inspect every inch of every closet, floorboards, basements etc. Heather was widely available and patient with answering all of our first home buyer questions (which were plentiful) and even shifted her schedule so we could look at homes on the weekends. Heather also recommended a wonderful team to assist us in the purchasing process, her mortgage and real estate lawyer recommendations were fantastic, and made the whole journey of buying our first house very smooth! She was a pleasure to work with and we are so happy with our new home.

T. Allen (Cortlandt Manor, NY)

"I met Heather at an open house for a grand home in Ossining. My wife and I hadn?t been looking to move but this house made me curious. Heather helped me process many different scenarios but it became clear that this wasn?t the one. I was so impressed with Heather?s easy manner but professional knowledge that we began to look at other properties. Once again, she took us through all the steps and helped us see what was positive and negative about each property. I didn?t realize it at the time, but by seeing many properties, we were actually narrowing down our priorities to be able to identify our dream house; if we ever found it. We almost gave up the search, but I?m happy to say we didn?t! Heather guided us every step of the way with all the logistics and paperwork, and also had a great team available for all the different services needed. We were so happy with everyone we are throwing the whole team a party in our new home!

"All we can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heather is one of a kind she cares and makes things happen. There is a lot of stress and questions when buying a home.

Heather's Service was beyond our expectations and 100% Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heather not only found a home for us, she also sold the old home. Heather is truly a one of a kind.

"We met Heather through an open house that we went to on a whim. We never expected to fall in love with the area and actually consider leaving Manhattan. But after that first open house, we received a follow up email from Heather that was very thorough and I felt compelled to respond. There is something so special about Heather. She is so genuine and straight forward and never pushy at all. We started working with her right after Halloween and found our dream home right before the holidays. One of my favorite things about Heather was that she really listened to what we wanted. She would take note of all the details that we were looking for and not waste our time looking at homes that were not the right fit. She was such a pleasure to work with and always available to us for questions about anything. I can?t recommend her highly enough.

"Heather is an expert in her field. Her work was exceptional and she far exceeded our expectations. She helped us prepare our home for selling and knew about every new house on the market. Her wonderful source of contacts, such as painters or inspectors, made the process smooth. She works harder than anyone I know and helped us during every step of the way, even during stressful times. We highly recommend her.

"My husband and I were so lucky to have Heather as our agent. We were starting the process of buying our first home, and Heather went above and beyond for us every step of the way. She is a true professional, and clearly finds so much joy and fulfillment in helping people through such a big (and sometimes overwhelming) process. She was patient and always available to talk, answer questions or show us a house. The attention she gave to us made me feel that we were constantly at the top of her mind. She always took our feedback on a house into account. Beyond this she is also a really fun and nice person, so we always looked forward to seeing her! Once we found the house we wanted, she expertly guided us through the negotiation process. I truly could not recommend her more. We are so grateful to Heather for helping us find our home.

"Heather is amazing, she really cares and goes above and beyond. She always showed us houses in the range of exactly what we were looking for. If anything needed to be done, she took care of it immediately, even getting the house painted last minute. In addition, she will assemble an excellent team that will take care of everything, top to bottom. We didnt have a lawyer, inspector, mortgage broker etc, and everyone she recommended was top notch. We ended up in a beautiful house that will make us very happy for a long time. I couldn't recommend Heather more!

"Heather is a real professional. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire sales process.

"Heather is incredible! With her high-energy, enthusiasm, and no-nonsense approach to real estate, she will be honest and upfront to find you the right house, even if it takes a couple tries in this crazy market. She is super responsive, knowledgeable about the area, and has shrewd negotiation skills. I cannot recommend her more highly and we were thrilled with the outcome for our new home."

"Heather is an excellent agent and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a house. We were buying from very difficult sellers and Heather handled every curve ball thrown at us like a pro. She knew the areas we were looking in very well, was able to give us local knowledge, and spent countless hours on the phone with us talking through all of our extremely detailed questions and sometimes simply assuaging our fears. She is professional, yet friendly and approachable, extremely knowledgeable, very responsive, and just an all-around pleasure to work with. In fact, after retaining her we found out that many friends had also used Heather in their home sales and/or purchases. We're definitely using her for our upcoming sale. 10/10--Heather is terrific!"

"House hunting is generally stressful and consuming, especially during these crazy times, but Heather made the journey so much easier! We searched for several months then stopped due to personal reasons. We started the journey again and Heather was just there with us, and at any point did she put pressure on us. Her knowledge of the town and her vast experience in the field helped us get the house that we needed and wanted. As newbies in this process, we often missed what we really needed; but Heather was there to point out the pros and cons of each of the properties we looked at. She did not let us settle for less. I can't conclude without mentioning how emotional she got after our closing; and that is because she loves what she does best!" aseipio25 Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567

"If you are choosing between agents, go with Heather-100%. Heather Bouza in a true expert in her field. She went so far above and beyond what we would have expected to make sure our first home buying experience was smooth. She taught us everything, we went into this knowing nothing about buying a house and she was our advocate through almost 8 months of searching and negotiations. Heather always ensured we didn't take on too much risk, she became such a trusted advisor while we dealt with boundary disputes, titling issues, structural issues and everything in between. Even during this crazy market we got our home below appraisal, with an amazing interest rate, with all contingencies intact, and without a crazy cash offer or down payment. I can truly say she knows EVERYTHING about the industry and area and fought tooth and nail for us. We went with her mortgage broker recommendation who gave us the lowest rate even after we checked around to compare with others. We also went with her attorney recommendation who literally caught a tiiiiiny detail in some old legal documents that actually marked our house with one less bedroom. If she hadn't caught that it would have had extremely damaging repercussions in terms of the value of the house. Overall, we cannot say enough about Heather. I feel like we've been to battle and back and we're just so incredibly grateful for her. She is an amazing professional and woman and we plan to stay in touch forever now!"

Amy Classen (6 Glengary Rd Croton On Hudson, NY 10520)

"What can I say... My husband and I were not the easiest of clients-- we knew exactly what we wanted but it was verrrrry specific, which lead to a very long searching process. Heather stuck with us from Day 1 to Year 2, when we finally managed to get an offer accepted! Other agents pushed us to compromise, but Heather understood our priorities, and never urged us to make a rash decision or offer too much just to make a deal. We were also using a VA loan, which can complicate things; Heather had plenty of experience in dealing with those loans and how we could best play our hand in a very competitive market. We were especially grateful for her stable of fabulous inspectors-- we dealt with many of them and they were fair, kind, and generous. Buying a house was really, really hard, but Heather did incredible work to ease the process for us. We knew that no matter what happened, we'd have Heather in our corner. Her priority was us, and I know that's not always the case. THANK YOU HEATHER!"

artieandbecca (32 South St Beacon, NY 12508)

"Heather was very patient, proactive and knew a lot about market dynamics and how to approach the offers. She played a very important role helping us not waiving any important contingency and playing safe. She has great contacts of professionals that also helped in the process (attorney, inspectors, contractors, etc.). During the final inspection, she was VERY proactive and basically made most of the inspection for us, making sure everything was working as previously inspected. Our family would highly recommend her and gladly work with her again."

"Heather is a phenomenal real estate agent and human. We were so fortunate to work with her twice, both buying and selling our home. Heather is incredibly knowledgable in her field. She thoughtfully guided and supported us through every step of the buying and selling process. She went above and beyond by connecting us with local friends, services and providing her impeccable staging services. Her energy, stamina and integrity uplifts everyone around her and she infused the whole process with positivity. We couldn't have asked for a better deal: financially and emotionally. Heather is truly the best!"

Julie Snider (Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567)

"
Heather's knowledge, tenacity, and ability to connect with everyone she encounters are amazing. She is just a great person and she did everything to make sure we were taken care of.

Heather was phenomenal! She had our best interest in mind from the very first day. She is experienced, and it shows. She knew what questions to ask of the seller and the seller's agent. If they didn't know she would run it down until she found what she was looking for. If we ever sell and buy again, we will not hesitate to call her. We highly, highly recommend her."
Jill & Brad Becker (Cornwall)

" In the midst of the brutal Westchester real estate market, Heather emerged as an indispensable ally. The house we were drawn to was fraught with potential problems, making it a risky deal. But with Heather on our side throughout this intricate and unpredictable process, we always felt guided and reassured. Her unwavering support and expert advice were invaluable as we navigated these complexities. From the intricate task of researching the history of the house to accurately assessing potential risks, Heather's competence and experience shone through. She expertly navigated us through intense bidding wars, saving our deal on multiple occasions. In the end, our satisfaction was paramount, a testament to Heather's relentless dedication and professional acumen. Heather's intimate knowledge of the Westchester real estate market and the unique nuances of its diverse towns and areas sets her apart. Her depth of understanding and insight guided our decisions, providing us with a much-needed edge. We wholeheartedly recommend Heather to anyone looking to buy a house in Westchester. Her sharp intellect, wealth of experience, professional demeanor, and most importantly, her genuine honesty make her a standout in her field. In addition to her professional credentials, Heather's good heart and trustworthy nature ? qualities that are so rare these days ? truly elevate the home-buying experience. With Heather, you're not just getting a real estate expert, you're gaining a trusted advisor."

"Amazing! She was very proactive and knowledgeable. Had great working relationships with both other brokers as well as inspectors and attorneys for the closing process. We saw homes in Croton-on-Hudson mostly, but also looked in Irvington where we eventually bought. She seemed open to showing us in a variety of areas and was patient as we put in multiple offers that were turned down. A great local guide through the home buying process"

"Heather helped us find and purchase the right house in Briarcliff for our family in a really tough market for buyers. She was extremely knowledgeable about market conditions, the characteristics of different villages, and was even able to give us tips on the mechanicals in various houses we saw. Heather was great at keeping us focused on what would actually work for our family, even when we got desperate and started to consider houses and areas that wouldn't suit us in the end. Heather was very accommodating to make sure we saw houses we were interested in as soon as they came on the market so we didn't miss our chance at them. Heather's advice on putting in offers and negotiating with sellers was invaluable. She also worked well with the seller's agent to make the closing happen on a schedule that worked for us."
