Jessica Wichers of Heather Wright & Associates was very helpful and patient on helping me find my home. We had lots of bumps in the road and she handled them like a champ. It took awhile to find the right house for my needs but she stuck it out with me clear to the end. Jessica would be a very wise choice for your realtor and I would strongly recommend her. She is very professional and knowledgeable and I'm glad I had her as my realtor.

Our house went under contract this past spring, only 10 hours after listing and for above asking during the earliest weeks of the pandemic. Need I say more? Okay, here's more :) Heather helped us buy our home in 2014, and she was our first call when we learned we would be relocating in 2020 and would need to sell our house. She thoroughly explained all of the steps to selling a home and guided us in preparing our house to list. Her checklist is amazing and was integral to helping us know how to get our house show-ready. Once under contract, she and her amazing team at Heather Wright & Associates made the rest of the process easy, seamless, and safe for us. Thanks for helping us sell our first home!

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'm glad we had Jessica Wichers of Heather Wright & Associates with us as our realtor for purchasing our first home. She is very knowledgable and answered all of our first time home buying questions. She was also very prompt with getting us in for showings and walked us through the home buying process with ease. I love that Jess was honest with us about the amount of wiggle room we would have on a house and that she was able to negotiate our purchase price down!

Heather was a dream to work with as a first time home buyer! She took the time to explain the whole home buying process and was always willing to explain again as we went thru it. She was responsive and eager to help us in any way. She was great at negotiating and helped us get our home for a great price!! We LOVE Heather of Heather Wright & Associates!

I found just the right listing where I intended to build my dream home, but the lot number didn’t match the available plat information. Heather had good reviews, but not even they did her justice. She and her team at Heather Wright & Associates helped me with everything as this was my first experience in the real estate realm. Communication was prompt and accurate, and the time she spent helping me to verify the background information when not even the listing agent was exactly sure of it helped me to acquire it with my first offer, which was $8000 under budget! The experience was as stress free as possible. She has my business for any realty needs

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.

Jess was great to work with, so much so I did twice. She helped me buy and sell a home on two separate occasions and both experiences were great. She was knowledgeable and eager to help me find the home for me. She fought for the things I needed during inspections and negotiations. I hope to never have to move again, but if I do, I know who I will be calling Jessica Wichers of Heather Wright & Associates!

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.

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.
