About Heather Schmidt
Buying or selling a home is one of life’s top stressors—but what if it didn’t have to…
Experience
Real Estate Consultant
Mar 2026 — Present · Chicago, IL, US
After 20 years working in the Chicago suburbs, she’s seen what happens when people try to follow the “right” way to buy or sell a home… even when it doesn’t fit. It usually feels heavy, confusing, and way more complicated than it needs to be.That’s not how she works.Heather helps people step out of the pressure, tune into what actually matters to them, and move forward in a way that makes sense for their life - not someone else’s checklist. Sometimes that looks like simplifying a sale. Sometimes it’s rethinking the plan entirely. And sometimes it’s just having a conversation where you can finally say, “this doesn’t feel right,” without being talked out of it.She’s especially good at working with people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like something is just… off. Instead of pushing harder, she helps them slow down, get clear, and find a way through that feels doable.There’s a practical side to her work—strategy, pricing, preparation, all the things that actually get homes sold. And then there’s the part you don’t always hear people talk about: how a space feels, how decisions feel, and learning to trust that.Heather creates a space where both can exist.Right now, her focus is helping homeowners prepare and sell their homes without the pressure to overhaul everything, while expanding into deeper work around helping people make clear, aligned decisions—not just in real estate, but in the bigger transitions that come with it.
