From the moment we contacted Heather she set us on the path to owning our own home from the moment we first talked on the phone. Her expertise in negotiating, her local knowledge, her responsiveness are second to none. We felt really lucky and privileged to have had her as our agent, just knowing she had our back made the whole home-buying process less stressful. Thank you to Heather and her team at Heather Wright & Associates. We are forever grateful.

We absolutely loved working with Heather! As first-time homebuyers and unfamiliar with the needs of Des Moines homes, Heather knew the things to look out for when looking at homes and helped us gain perspective as to what was typical maintenance vs not. She has a lot of knowledge of the area we were looking at and was very patient with us while we found a house that met our needs.
Heather always kept a positive attitude and a friendly smile, answering all of our questions and really looking out for our needs, especially since finding our home was a bit different than the typical buyer. Heather was recommended to me by a coworker and I would gladly recommend working with Heather at Heather Wright & Associates to anyone who asks.

We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Jessica Wichers of Heatehr Wright & Associates. We were first-time homebuyers with very little knowledge about how to find the right place. She is honest, hands-on and she really helped to take the pressure off of us.
We never felt forced to make an offer and when we finally found the right place, Jessica walked us through every step of the negotiations. She has always answered every call, text or email no matter what the question. Her professionalism, knowledge, honesty, and hard work ethic are much respected and appreciated! If the time ever comes when we will be looking for a new home, there isn't any question on who our Realtor will be!

I have worked with Jessica when my friend was looking into purchasing a house in the past, and also, a transfer sale of that house to another friend of mine. When it came time to purchase my own home, she was my first choice.
I knew that Jessica would be able to assist me in purchasing my first home, a fixer upper in the neighborhood I have lived in since that initial sale. Jessica has always been wonderful to work with so I knew I would be in good hands when the process of purchasing a fixer upper became confusing and frustrating. From the very start, Jessica was organized and informed. She provided me with a packet that outlined what to expect and included a useful timeline to serve as a road map to home ownership.
The first house I looked at was a large home, just on the outskirts of my preferred neighborhood. Jessica met me late in the afternoon after a big snow storm had come through to show me the house. The house had been abandoned and the sidewalks nor the driveway had been cleared of snow. I had also recently broken my leg, so I was on crutches. Even considering the situation, she was very cheerful and helped make a path through the snow for me to get to the house. She did not rush me through the house, she asked many questions to make sure that I was getting the house that I wanted, and pointed out potential concerns about the property. Eventually we found the house that I would end up buying. While I was finishing up my loan requirements Jessica was available to let me into the house so I could get inspections as well as contractor quotes, and if I was unavailable due to work, she would go in my place until I could make it.
Jessica was extremely timely in providing or finding answers to any questions I had. The requirements for the renovation loan that I had received were often times hard for me to understand, or to know who I needed to contact to get the information that was requested to move the process along and get closer to closing. Jessica went above and beyond to help me figure out all of the little intricate details and requirements of the loan, and provided me with the proper contacts even when it was something that was generally considered outside of the scope for a realtor.
I have the utmost respect for Jessica and her extensive knowledge of the area I was buying in, and also her tenacity in finding the answers to help me purchase my first home. I honestly do not think I would be a home owner right now if it were not for Jessica, I would still be waiting to close.
I can not recommend Jessica Wichers of Heather Wright & Associates enough, she has been absolutely fantastic to work with!

Up beat and fun. Jessica Wichers was a breeze to work with and we like her so much we have used her twice now! She wasn't pushy and we were very picky. We would throw Jessica of Heather Wright & Associates curve ball after curve ball and I never phased her.

It’s been a real pleasure working with Jessica Wichers of Heather Wright & Associates. She took me to several houses on several days and was always professional! Great realtor! I’m going to list my old house with her, too! She is our family’s realtor!

Jessica Wichers of Heather Wright & Associates was absolutely amazing. My husband and I came to her wanting to buy a house but having no idea where to even start. We came into her office like two little kids playing house with a vague notion of what we wanted in a home. She really took the time to get to know us as people and get a feel for the vibe we were looking for (my husband literally said the phrase “I want someplace dope!” and somehow Jessica was able to deliver on that!).
She went above and beyond when it came to finding a time that worked for us throughout the week to show us potential homes, even if it meant meeting us in the late evening or on her day off when she could’ve been at home with her son and family.
She was so fun and down to earth and really made this whole process as easy as it could possibly be. I’ve started recommending her to everyone I know, whether they’re currently looking for a house or not!

About Heather Wright
In the competitive Des Moines market, Heather Wright combines client-focused service, innovative marketing techniques, and a decade of experience to make sure that your buying or selling experience is less of a hassle and more of an adventure.Heather Wright’s journey began right here in Iowa—she grew up in Guthrie Center and fell in love with the sense of community that makes the Midwest such a great place to call home. Today, she brings her knowledge (and love) of the area to the table, helping buyers and sellers make the right choices for the current Des Moines market.
Her career path began in the corporate world, where she mastered marketing, dispute resolution, and negotiations—three skills that she puts to work every day whether she’s helping you sell your house at top-value or fighting to turn your offer into a sale.
If you’ve worked with Heather before, you know one thing: your satisfaction is always at the top of her to-do list. And that’s saying something, because this lady’s got a LOT going on!
Your needs come first—and Heather’s always available to answer last-minute budget questions, give you straight-talk about a listing’s issues, or help reassess your timeline (so that you can meet your personal deadlines or slow things down to a more manageable speed).
A self-described workaholic, Heather works day and night to make sure her clients are supported throughout the buying or selling process, start to finish. She not only gets award-winning results for her clients, but she also works hard to make the process simple, easy, and stress-free.
And, as Heather’s business has grown, she’s taken one more step to make sure that every client gets the VIP-level service they deserve…
She’s created a team: Heather Wright & Associates.
Since Heather never does things halfway, she enlisted two licensed agents, a team assistant, and a transaction coordinator, which makes her well-rounded team one of the best in the business.
Working together, they manage deadlines, paperwork, marketing, tech support, and management—to ensure that you’re taken care of and have constant access to someone with answers (‘cause the housing market never sleeps!).
While Heather spends most of her time meeting with buyers and sellers (and keeping Starbucks open with her iced caramel macchiato addiction), she also enjoys reading good fiction and relaxing in front of the TV with her graphic designer husband and the individual who runs their household: their Jack Russell terrier, Murphy.
