The interview

Who are you and why are you recommending Heather Tankersley?

Hi, my name is Lorrie Beelby. I am shooting this video for Heather Tankersley because my family and I were trying to relocate from San Antonio, Texas to Austin, Texas. It was during the housing boom of 2021 and right after Covid things were difficult.

What was Heather's approach during your home search?

Heather was amazing at being patient, she was amazing at keeping us calm and we needed a home to move into fairly quickly and she left no rocks unturned in looking for us a home and she found us that forever home.

What was the number one benefit of working with her?

The number one benefit that I have experienced using Heather is that we found a wonderful house within our budget and it was during the housing craze. Heather was just able to work really hard and unconventional ways to find us a home and we have been so happy with that.

When did you know Heather was the right agent for your family?

I knew Heather was right for me and my family when the first time we went to look for homes, she asked if it would be okay if she brought her girls along. I have two young kids, my husband loves kids and we're just a very family friendly family and I was like absolutely we would love for you to bring them along.

How did she handle the stress of the 2021 housing market?

She also was just very comforting and it was like it was such a difficult time when we were looking for a home and she was just encouraging and she said we will find you a home, don't worry, give us time. She not only found us a home but in a wonderful neighborhood, we absolutely love it and I'm just so thankful for Heather and her intuitiveness into our family.

Can you describe the 'unconventional' experience you had?

We had a house that we liked and we were under contract. The seller decided that they didn't want to sell the house and so we went through a lot of tactics trying to persuade them to go ahead and sell the house to us, it didn't work. Through that nightmare, Heather was just the best. She talked to our attorney for us, she talked to her friends in places that we were looking at homes and just asked if they knew of anybody about to sell their home and that's how we found our home, Heather found our home for us off market.

What was the financial outcome of the purchase?

Well under appraisal Heather was just willing to do anything that she could to find us a home. Heather is best at solving problems. If there's any issues she will work her tail off to get them fixed.

What is your advice to someone considering Heather Tankersley?

If you are sitting on the fence wondering if you should use Heather or not, my number one recommendation would be please give her the opportunity because she will find what you need, she will work her tail off, she is a hustler, she is kind, she will keep you informed every day.
