Heather Frye
Area Leader // NMLS #213439
With over two decades in the mortgage and real estate industry, I’ve helped thousands of families, investors, and first time homebuyers turn their dreams into reality. For me this business isn’t just about loans, it’s about helping people build wealth, create stability and unlock financial freedom through smart real estate decisions.
I joined the mortgage industry in 1998 and bought my first home as a single mom in 2007. Fast forward to today – I manage a growing portfolio of investment properties, work as a licensed mortgage and real estate professional, and help clients like you navigate the ever-changing world of home financing.
When I am not securing the best loan solutions, you’ll find me balancing life as a working mom of three, managing our family businesses with my husband (fxbgprint.com) or outdoors with our dogs, goats and pigs. I believe in straight talk, smart strategies and building relationships that last far beyond the closing table.
Let’s make your next move the right one – together.
