Heather Jenkins

Heather began her career in real estate because she and her husband have built, remodeled, and sold over ten of their personal homes throughout the years. She has a lot of experience and embraced the idea of helping people successfully get through their own real estate adventures.

She is a member of The Sister Team, along with Tess Wood and Teri Nelson. The Team was founded by Teri and her sister and evolved to include members of the family and enthusiastic brokers like Heather. With the founding members of the Team heading toward retirement, Heather and Tess have moved to Lark and Fir to give their practice room to grow at a local firm.

Before her foray into real estate Heather lived in Rome, Italy with her sister for several years where she became fluent in Italian. After returning to Portland State University, she got a BA in Anthropology with an emphasis in Archaeology (and more Italian). She used her personal connections and love of the Italian language to establish a small import store bringing Italian artisans’ sense of pride and craftsmanship to Portland’s Pearl District.

An Oregon native (since elementary school), Heather, her husband and giant cockapoo dog Coco now live on Portland’s lower east side. Although they are empty nesters, they are fortunate to have their kids and granddaughter in town. When not working on real estate deals, she loves to travel, cook, entertain, and dabble in art & interior design.
