Heather Hankins Homes

Fourth of July ready in my neighborhood! 🇺🇸 What a fun way to connect the neighbors together to celebrate the holiday!
Jonesy even helped me with the flags. 😅🐈‍⬛

One reason I love summer in Colorado is because of all the fun festivals and concerts each year! Last weekend we went to the Blues From the Top Festival with our friends Alyse and Reuben. We saw Eddie 9V and Big Head Todd and the Monsters perform. Despite the rain, we still enjoyed the great music! ⁣
On Saturday, we played a round of golf, visited a local brewery, and enjoyed a delicious dinner. What a fun weekend in the Colorado mountains! ⁣
⁣
⁣

A little something is coming soon for my neighbors!⁣🇺🇸
Can you believe we are almost a week away from Independence Day? I have been working on a great holiday gift all of my neighbors can enjoy! Should I put “crafting” as one of my special skills now? ⁣😂
If you find one of these in your yard soon, please take a picture and tag me! ⁣🤗

When was the last time you've been to the zoo?⁣
Well, my Mom and I went together recently and had a fun Mother/Daughter day at the Denver Zoo!⁣
When my boys were very young, we had an annual tradition of going to the zoo with my Mom for Mother's Day. We have not done it in many years and thought it would be a fun way to spend a day together and then enjoy lunch afterward. It was a beautiful day, although a little hot for the animals who were all busy lounging in the shade! ⁣

Is this carpet or tile?!⁣
I was touring a model home and when I walked into the bathroom, I couldn't believe the flooring! It's a distinct design choice. Would you want this in your bathroom? ⁣

We spent a quick, but great weekend in Santa Fe celebrating our friend Brant's 60th birthday. We spent the day Saturday visiting art galleries, saw a great horned owl who was having his portrait painted, went to the town square, saw beautiful churches, had lunch at a great brewery, and then spent some time at the pool before dinner. We packed in a lot of fun in one day!
We stayed at the beautiful Inn and Spa at Loretto and I highly recommend it. If you haven't been to Santa Fe, it is a great weekend getaway!

Congratulations to my clients at 8098 S Yantley Ct Aurora, CO on the sale of their home. We were able to do their closing remotely online which made it so easy for them.
I am so happy for them as they move to their next chapter in their new home on a lake in Wisconsin! I am so grateful they chose me to be their Realtor through this big transition and move in life!

A huge thank you to Jon and Embree for your review! I deeply appreciate my clients who dedicate their time to writing about their experiences with me. As a professional in the real estate field, I take pride in assisting each client throughout the home-buying and selling process. I am truly thankful to all my exceptional clients for their trust and support.

No, I'm not delivering pizzas! 😛🍕
One thing I do for my clients on their home anniversary is provide them with a real estate review for their home. Since it is likely one of their biggest assets, I think it is important to find out how their asset is performing in the current market so they can see the growth in their equity. I drop these boxes off with some other goodies inside to wish them a happy home anniversary and provide them with something of value.
If you would like something like this, and you want to know your home value, please reach out! I am happy to provide one for your home.

Last week I attended one of my favorite conferences and meetings of the year, the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) legislative meetings and conference in Washington, D.C.
These meetings are specifically designed so that we can meet with our Colorado members of Congress and Senate to discuss upcoming or current bills pertaining to housing and private property rights. We met with Senators Hickenlooper and Bennet.
Also while at the conference, I was honored to be installed in the NAR RPAC Hall of Fame. Since I became a Realtor in 2009, I have been giving back for the benefit of my clients and all homeowners to the Realtor Political Action Committee, RPAC. The dollars help our local, state, and national associations to lobby at all levels toward private property rights on a bi-partisan basis. I am honored to be a member of this elite group. What a great trip to D.C.!

Shoutout to Alena for the amazing review! Your feedback means the world to me and my business. I work hard to provide the best service possible, and seeing comments like this after a successful deal makes it all worth it. Huge thanks to Alena and all my clients who take the time to leave a review! 🌟

We enjoyed our last weekend of skiing in Winter Park Ski Resort this past weekend with our good friends. Skiing on Saturday was interesting with non-stop changing weather conditions. Everything from fog, sleet, snow, and the occasional bit of sun. Crazy, but typical of Colorado Spring weather! Sunday was a beautiful, bluebird day and we had so much fun watching the Spring Splash festivities. Have you ever done this? Skiers and Boarders sign up to try to skim across the pond without falling in. Hilarious costumes and lots of splashes! A few made it across without getting wet. Too cold for our group! It was a great weekend!

Who is ready for the playoffs?!
It's been a fun season watching the Nuggets! We enjoyed sharing season tickets with friends this year and we even made it to the last home game against the Timberwolves. That was a fantastic game! I am looking forward to the Playoffs (starting tomorrow!), and the Nuggets potential going for another championship!

I am truly grateful to have such wonderful clients! Thank you for writing a kind review about your experience working with me as your Realtor. Buying a home, especially for the first time can be incredibly intimidating. I am honored to be a reliable source that my clients turn to time and time again.

I was thrilled to help my sellers who I met with a few years ago to sell their home in Evergreen. They weren't quite ready then, but we stayed in touch. They decided they wanted to move to Oregon and I helped refer them to a great Realtor in Depoe Bay. They found their dream home on the Oregon Coast and I was able to help them sell their longtime home here in Evergreen. I am so excited for them as they move into their next chapter in life! Congratulations Tom and Leslie!

We all know that the snow outside isn't stopping! But did you also know you need to make sure you keep your external vents free from the build-up of snow?
Snow can pile up (especially today!) and it can block the vents for your furnace, dryer, and fireplace. If these are blocked, it becomes harder for those sources to pull fresh oxygen or get rid of air, causing a higher likelihood of carbon monoxide levels to rise inside the home.
So, I went outside and cleared my furnace vent to make sure there would be no issues! Make sure you check all your vents too! And when I went out, of course the dogs came with me... barking at the snow!

I am so grateful for the kind words from Danielle! It is truly a privilege to work with such wonderful people and help them find their dream home. Thank you for trusting me with your real estate needs.

One of the things I love about my job as a Realtor is getting to know my clients better and supporting them in their businesses. I meet so many cool and interesting people! One of those people is my great client and friend, Jamie Siebrase. Jamie is a published author and now has 3 books with another on the way very soon. Jamie’s books are really great for families with kids and I have even given them as gifts to family and friends.

Jamie’s books are: “Hiking with Kids Colorado-52 Great Hikes for Families”, “Mythbusting the Great Outdoors” and her most recent bedtime story book, “Tonight! A Bedtime Book”. Her newest book, “Exploring Colorado with Kids: 71 Field Trips + 142 Nature Inspired Activities” comes out in June 2024. Check them out where you get your books, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. Enjoy!!

I love supporting local business and will be spotlighting other client’s businesses in the coming weeks and months.

Happy Valentine's Day! 🥰 I thought it would be fun to share some fun throwback pictures of Jim and me over the years in honor of today. And here's the story of how we met, in case you haven't heard it before:

We met at a New Year's Eve party and Jim had shown up really late. Well, since everyone was getting a head start on partying 🍾🥂, my friend went up to him and said, "You need to talk to Heather, she thinks you're really cute!" 😂 That felt so "high school" of her to do, but it was the ice breaker we needed to start talking, and the rest is history... And then we got engaged the following New Year's Eve! Now he's my forever Valentine! 💗

Congratulations to my clients at 1208 Freedom Way on the sale of their home! It was a bit of a journey selling their home in the 4th quarter of 2023, but we made it to the finish line, and now they get to start the next chapter of their life moving back home to Texas.
It was also a rare but special closing to have the buyers and sellers in the same room together signing paperwork, but we all loved it! Congrats again to my clients and I will miss them so much!

I had a great time at the Nuggets game last weekend with my youngest son! It's been ages since it was just the two of us, doing something fun together. And that made the night even more memorable – a rare and special mother-son evening cheering on the Nuggets! 🏀

Today marks an incredible milestone - 15 years as a Realtor! 😱 It's hard to believe how quickly time has flown by, and how much I've learned along the way. Starting in 2009, during a challenging time in the market with foreclosures and short sales, was no easy feat, but I persevered with the help of my supportive mentors. I am deeply grateful for the trust and loyalty of my clients, friends, and family who have been with me every step of the way.

Looking back, I'm proud of all that I've accomplished, but I'm even more excited for the future. Here's to another 15 years of serving my clients, and continuing to make their real estate dreams a reality! ☺️

Thank you, Cathy and John, for your trust and glowing review! It was an absolute pleasure working with you to sell your beautiful home. From the very beginning till the successful closing, your confidence in my abilities as a realtor meant the world to me. Your kind words reaffirm why I love what I do!

Last week I attended the Inman Connect Conference in NYC. It was a great week of hearing from leaders in the real estate industry about what is on the horizon in 2024 for the real estate market, new technology trends, and so much more. I had a chance to also see a Broadway show one evening and enjoyed some fantastic food! Despite the somewhat gloomy weather in NYC, my trip was wonderful, and the conference provided me with so much valuable knowledge to share with both my clients and peers.

1208 Freedom Way is ! Congratulations to my clients, I know they are very excited to continue making steps closer to their next chapter in life.
