I gladly serve the Brownsville-Harlingen area, which includes Olmito, Los Fresnos, San Benito and South Padre Island. Buying or selling can be stressful and there's so much information out there as to how to go about it. I enjoy taking my clients one step at a time, answering questions along the way, in this potentially stressful process and make it as enjoyable and smooth, as possible. As a former educator, I am a strong advocate for education! I read and take classes in real estate on a consistent basis in order to make sure I am knowledgable and competent for you, my client!

I got started in real estate before I could drive. Honestly, you could say I was born into real estate. From about the time I was in second grade I was working with my mother helping her clean up her own rental properties. As soon as I could push the lawn mower, I was put to work. Cutting grass, painting, cleaning, taking out the trash, I did anything mom needed to be done. From those experiences, I came to learn a lot of information regarding single family real estate investing.

Later in college, I purchased my first house and learned first hand what it meant to be a landlord. From cleaning up after my tenant, to negotiating repairs and handling late rent. I also learned a great deal about the power of leverage, how depreciation worked on my taxes, and how to dramatically increases my ROI on a property. From that one property, I have grown our investment business from one home in Tennessee to 6 homes in central Texas and more to come. In 2009, I started Neuhaus Realty Group to teach others how to invest in real estate. Along with my former business partner, Stephen Smith, we went on to sell over 250 million dollars in real estate in the last 9even years. With the help of a collection of agents around the State of Texas, we have been able to help many clients who would otherwise have to be sent to other brokers. Over the last 10 years, I have sold everything from commercial buildings just blocks from the state capital in Austin, to houses from Beaumont to San Antonio to Dallas, and everywhere in between. Recently I have been focusing on waterfront property and around the Blanco River where my family and I love to spend time.

After a rewarding 15-year career as a southern California elementary school teacher specializing in math, Heather changed careers in 2006 for real estate. She and her husband moved to Colorado, where she received her real estate license. "It was great, because it combined the personal touch with the analytical, data side," she notes.

In 2007, after their child was born, the couple moved back to southern California—yet six months later moved to Austin for her husband David's new job. Heather reentered the real estate market, dabbling in house flips and other investment opportunities. In 2016, she earned her Texas real estate license, intending to work with a developer.

he began looking for an agency but didn't find one that aligned well with her dual interests—a deep passion for helping people and her keen interest in data and analytics. Meeting Anne-Marie and learning about Intelligent Real Estate solved that problem!
