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.

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!

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!

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!

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.

Jessica Wichers of Heather Wright Associates is the best. She is very knowledgeable in her field. I was such a pest-with a zillion questions and concerns. She responded to all of them immediately and made me feel like I was her most important client. I hope she is still in the business when my children decide to purchase a home. I would highly recommend her services to anyone considering a home purchase.
