Featured Realtor: Brand New Agent Heather Burns Loves Cities, Homes, And People

Very rarely do we get to profile new Realtors and see why they got into the business with such a dynamic, changing market. Sometimes these Realtors are switching careers from less-interesting, more stressful professions. Sometimes they just fall into it with grace and aplomb.

Heather Burns decided to start a career in residential real estate after working in corporate housing. New to the industry, she immediately fell in love with matching homes to homeowners with Vivo Realty Group. This brand is hiring up top talent throughout Dallas and Collin County, making waves in the industry and building a team of leaders.
