Heather Gill discusses the emotional aspects of real estate and how agents can support clients through life transitions.

In this episode of Momentum in Real Estate, hosts Cory Wall and Kristin Janes sit down with Heather Gill, a Dallas-Fort Worth realtor, speaker, and author of Journey to Your Sacred Heart . Heather shares her journey from training apartment community staff to diving into real estate investing and sales after realizing the massive wealth-building potential of property ownership.
