As the founder of Reserve 76 Realty and a top 5% agent across Dallas-Fort Worth, Heather has built her real estate business around relationships, results, and real strategy. Named one of D Magazine’s Best Realtors and RealTrends Verified Top Agent she brings over 25 years of local expertise to the table helping clients buy and sell in some of the region’s most sought-after communities, including Lantana, Flower Mound, Highland Village, Argyle, and beyond.

Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Heather has a unique advantage when it comes to relocation. She frequently assists clients moving from California to Texas, and is a trusted referral partner for agents across the country looking to place their clients in capable hands.

Before founding Reserve 76 Realty, Heather spent years as a National Account Executive for a Fortune 500 company—negotiating contracts, leading training sessions, and speaking across the country. That experience built the foundation for her no-nonsense business acumen and commitment to service.

Today, she combines those skills with modern tools and tech-savvy systems to deliver a seamless client experience. Whether it’s custom marketing for luxury homes, strategic pricing for faster sales, or helping families buy and sell at the same time, Heather leads with clarity, care, and proven solutions.

Heather’s clients rely on her for more than just real estate advice they turn to her for everything from local vendor referrals to restaurant recommendations. That’s because to Heather, it’s never just about the sale it’s about helping people live the life they’ve worked so hard to build.

When she’s not negotiating contracts or launching new listings, Heather is enjoying life with her husband Jim and their three children. From cheering on their son at football games to traveling with their daughters and exploring new restaurants, the Shimala family knows how to make time count. Heather and Jim also run Bourbon, Bites and Burbs a social group and event series that blends bourbon tastings with real estate conversations, helping them stay connected to clients and community in a fun, authentic way.
