Rooted in Houston. Driven by Results.
Licensed Real Estate agent at Douglas Elliman Real Estate
As a native Houstonian, Heather Shepherd brings deep knowledge of Houston’s most sought-after neighborhoods and a genuine commitment to helping her clients find the right home; or the right buyer. With over a decade of experience as a licensed REALTOR®, she takes pride in guiding friends, families, and repeat clients toward achieving their real estate goals with confidence and clarity.
Heather’s passion for helping others began early in her career as a Pre-Kindergarten teacher. After dedicating several years to raising her three children and assisting her family in building a real estate portfolio, she gained invaluable insight into aligning her clients’ desires with thoughtful, strategic residential outcomes. Her background allows her to understand not just the transaction, but the lifestyle behind every move.
A graduate of The Kinkaid School, Heather earned a double major in Psychology and Spanish from Southern Methodist University and later received her Master’s degree in Elementary Education from George Washington University. Her education, paired with her strong interpersonal skills, allows her to advocate effectively for her clients while maintaining a calm, solution-oriented approach.
As a proud resident of West University Place, Heather is actively involved in her community. She volunteers at her children’s schools and church and has long supported the Ronald McDonald House and the Texas Children’s Ambassador Program. She is also an active volunteer with the SEARCH foundation for homelessness, and co-chaired the 2025 Picnic with a Purpose, reflecting her ongoing commitment to serving families both professionally and personally.
