Testimonials
Heather is super knowledgeable about the market in the Ithaca area. She got to know me and my situation and helped steer me toward properties that would be a good fit. When we found the one, she guided me through the process, making options available, following up on my questions and helping me navigate the financial and interpersonal aspects of buying a house. I am grateful for having the opportunity to work with her and highly recommend her!
We were lucky to have Heather as our agent when my partner and I were looking for our first house to purchase. As first-time home buyers, we really did not know what to expect in the homebuying process, and we certainly had a lower budget than the market average. Luckily, Heather was so patient in listening to and understanding our needs, and we learn a lot about house buying from her due to her background in construction. She patiently spent hours showing us different properties and was really honest about the pros and cons of all of them. Eventually, we found the perfect house for us, and we are feeling very confident about the future home purchase when we move. We would highly recommend working with her whether you are trying to sell or buy a house!!
Heather did an outstanding job coordinating meals and snacks for hundreds of volunteers during our community playground build. She spent long hours planning, soliciting donations, coordinating and serving, making sure everything went smoothly every day of the week-long build.
Heather has worked for me for over 10 years and done an excellent job. When my airbnb was trashed by a renter Heather was instrumental in taking photos and documenting the damage for me to receive a full payment for cleanup and damage repairs which totalled over $5,000. Heather is thorough, professional, timely, flexible, loyal, has integrity and responds to situations with full consideration as if she were the owner herself. I have gone out of my way to keep Heather helping and working with me because she is so valuable and would be impossible to replace with her level of care and hard work. Please ask Heather for my email if you want to contact me for any other information about her work.
I met Heather towards the tail end of my housing search at an open house and while the house she was showing did not turn out to be the one for me, I knew she would be the person to find me my next home. Heather listens to her clients, i mean really listens. She develops a keen understanding of what you are looking for in your next home and what you will need to get out of you old one and she pull sup her sleeves and gets to work. Heather is incredibly communicative, hands on. Not only did she help me find my dream home, she assisted in negotiating an incredible price (way below asking) and then helped me move my dining table and chairs into my new place. I was so impressed, i hired her to manage the sale of my condo!! Not only is Heather now my “go-to” real estate agent, she has become a trusted friend.

For the past 10 years i have worked closely with Heather and her staff to keep our student housing facilities clean and ready for the next occupants. This included daily upkeep of seven student housing units as well as full turnovers at the end of every semester (3 times per year). When occasional constructions projects were completed, those would be work into the schedule as well. Heather was always willing to do whatever was needed no matter the day of the week or hour of the day. If we had an emergency, she would round up a crew and come deal with the situation. Heather is professional, organized, diligent, knowledgeable, hard working with a great sense of humor, and full of energy. She will be an asset to your situation.
As past Superintendent of Facilities at Tompkins Cortland Community College, Heather has worked for me for approximately 12 years. Her company was responsible for janitorial, turn over cleaning/maintenance, and maintaining the grounds for Res Life housing. Her position was an integral part that required knowledge of being able to organize, schedule, and manage her responsibilities with maintenance, construction, Res Life staff, and students and still maintain and complete a very rigorous and demanding schedule. Heather with her business, management, and organizational skills and experience, along with her working knowledge of the building trades, makes her a good fit in any regard to the housing industry. Working with Heather was a pleasure. Great sense of humor, very professional, up-beat, and full of energy. When in a crunch you could always depend on Heather to help in any way. Whether it be a student, staff member, parent…anyone. Heather will always succeed because what ever she does she gives it her all.
Heather bent over backwards to help us move quickly, without cutting corners, on the purchase of an investment property to provide a home for our daughter and grandchildren at a very stressful time in their lives. She went above and beyond to resolve zoning issues, get needed repairs done, and keep the process moving forward. We are very grateful for her persistence and attention to detail.
My experience working with Heather was the best. I have worked with her twice now, both times under challenging circumstances, and all I can say is that Heather is great. Her experience made the whole real estate transaction process seem easy, when I know it is not. She helped me over some hurdles by giving me a “heads up” that they are coming and explaining to me my options when making decisions. And, she keeps the process moving most professionally. I cannot say enough, other than I strongly recommend Heather. Thank you!
Our house search occurred during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic and Heather Gowe, who served as our agent, was very professional and responsive. We had minimal knowledge about the process as this was our first experience, but Heather provided timely guidance along the way. Even though she could not enter the houses with us, she answered our questions after each viewing. Given the Covid-19 pandemic, our road to home ownership did not go according to the usual in-person process and interactions, but we are very much satisfied with the result.

Heather was wonderful to work with! She was very thorough and worked extremely hard to make sure everything was investigated, looked into, and taken care of to ensure our home purchase would move forward. As with any purchase, there were some issues that came up but she dealt professionally and expediently with those. I would highly recommend her as she does an exceptional job and was very honest and upfront with us. Terry and Ami
My wife and I have consulted with several real estate agents in the past few years (we have had to move around a lot) and Heather was without a doubt the best agent we have worked with. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful. With her help, we bought a home that was exactly what we wanted and we were able to get it at a good price in a very competitive market. She also helped us sell our previous property at a price that was above our initial listing price. Overall, we are very happy with our experience and would recommend Heather to anyone looking to b
