Since 2010, Heather Wright & Associates has helped more than 1,000 families buy and sell homes across the Greater Des Moines metro. In 2026, the team was named #1 in Johnston and a top-20 team in Iowa on the RealTrends Verified rankings, which rank teams purely on production, no votes, just the numbers.
Heather is a GRI REALTOR® licensed in Iowa since 2010, a RE/MAX Hall of Fame and Lifetime Achievement honoree, and a Zillow Preferred Partner, with 300+ five-star reviews across Google and Zillow. She founded HWA in 2014 and built the team the deliberate way, adding agents and support staff who share the same standard, backed by an in-house transaction coordinator who keeps every detail on track from contract to close.
What sets the team apart is doing the thing most agents skip: listening first, telling you the truth even when it isn't what you hoped to hear, and staying in the deal from the first call through closing day and long after. Heather points out the flaws in a house you love, tells sellers when a price isn't realistic, and treats the relationship as something that lasts well beyond the closing table.
Whether you're buying your first home, selling one you've loved for years, or relocating to central Iowa, you'll work with one team, across Ankeny, Waukee, Johnston, Urbandale, West Des Moines, and beyond, that treats your move like it matters.
Because at Heather Wright & Associates, you're not just another transaction. You're part of the story we're proud to keep building in Des Moines.
