Heather Benjamin has been involved in the real estate business since she graduated high school at the age of fifteen in Misawa, Japan.  Her family has been actively investing in real estate for the past four generations both in Sumner County and throughout Florida. Heather bought and sold her first property in her early 20s and hasn't looked back from there. 

Since obtaining her license in December of 2004, Heather has been a consistent Top Producer with monthly, quarterly, annual and industry awards. She initially obtained her license to assist herself in her own real estate transactions, but within 4 months found that she had an undiscovered passion for helping others through the real estate process and a new career as a full-time agent.  She is currently considered highly skilled and knowledgeable in short sales as both an agent and investor.  She works with distressed homeowners every day seeking to help them avoid foreclosure and assisting buyers in obtaining instant equity on their purchases.

Heather's 20 year background in marketing, advertising, customer service and web technologies has given her the advantage over the competition since Day One in her RE Agent career.  Heather believes in the power of the internet and emedia technologies for marketing properties and selling real estate. Proof of this can be found in the more than $14 million in gross sales Heather has accomplished during these "down times" in the real estate market.  Heather's favorite maxim is "In the midst of chaos lies opportunity for Buyers and Investors....NOW is the chaos.....seize the opportunity!"

 

Heather was also recognized as a Diamond Society Member of Coldwell Banker International 2008-2009 making her a part of the elite top 7% of real estate agents in the country.  She is excited about being a part of the Reliant Realty organization.  You may contact Heather directly at (615) 855-1400 or email heathernashville@yahoo.com
