Please Welcome Our Newest Member,

Heather Quimby, Realtor!


Heather is a Real Estate Advisor who manages both sales and purchases of any type of property. Integrity is key for how to operate in her world. She is certified as a Pricing Strategy Advisor to benefit her seller clients and an Accredited Buyer Representative for her buyer clients. She volunteers her time to serve her local Realtor board and is proud to work within the ethics of a Realtor and a Coldwell Banker Agent.


"I have loved living in the Belfast area now for 27 years. I served the public for most of those years as an excellent hairdresser, and for the past 7 years have been serving as a caring Real Estate Agent. I have always loved Belfast and have all great things to say about the area to buyers, and am always sad to see sellers move away. I welcome anyone in the readership to reach out for answers to real estate questions, to consider my opinions on the market, or to just pick my brain about possibly listing your property. I also look forward to meeting many of you at the After Hours Events!"
