Heather Kingston

Heather Kingston was born and raised in the beautiful northwest corner of the US in Idaho’s rugged northern panhandle. After high school, she moved to Utah to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Speech Pathology.  She and her husband then moved to Los Angeles where she worked at the Ritz Carlton in Marina Del Rey, and then as part of the opening team for the J. Paul Getty Museum in Brentwood. As her family soon grew to include four beautiful, amazingly talented, and smart children, Heather elected to be a stay-at-home mom. Still needing to satisfy her entrepreneurial spirit, she created businesses that would allow her to work from home, including a medical billing business.

As her children grew, Heather discovered she had an artist’s eye for seeing beyond the lens of a camera; the pictures she snapped of her kids garnered much praise. This positive attention fueled her insatiable appetite for knowledge about all of the technical aspects of photography, leading her on a quest to learn everything she could about her newest passion - portrait photography. Her goal? To one day expand that passion into a rewarding career.

Shortly after moving to Texas, Heather expanded her love of photography into a very successful wedding and portrait business that soon included a very busy focus on Real Estate Photography. Having the technical background of true HDR photography as well as becoming a master drone pilot and producing high quality video productions for multiple realtors; Heather realized that her true passion was pushing her further and further into Real Estate. She got her license in 2017, and ever since then has been one of the top 5 performing agents in the brokerage. Heather’s primary focus is listing and marketing properties for sellers. That is where her talents excel beyond the scope of most agents in the industry. Each property listed follows her 4 point marketing plan, including their own website with photography and marketing material that sets the standard for the area. Each year her production far exceeds the last, based solely on referrals from her loyal clients. Heather cares deeply for each and every client in every walk of life, and maintains close contact with each of them far and beyond when the transaction is over. She says over and over, “My real estate clients are truly like family to me!” And she means it. One look at her reviews will reiterate that for anyone considering using Heather to represent them and fight for the highest return on their investment, as well as the perfect home for their family.

Pair of Spades Brady Bunch

Shad and I met in 2014 in the midst of our own personal divorces.  We met at a camera club that I started with my two photographer buddies one night when I was teaching about night photography.  God was smiling down on us that night, because he knew we shared a similar story, and that the next year would be the most difficult of our lives, and that we needed each other to lean on in order to make it through.  Shad is a woodworker, artist, photography enthusiast, and the best father I've ever seen.  Our blended family is never without a healthy dose of crazy with our 6 kids between the two of us, our 15 chickens, 6 cats (not all indoor!!), and 3 dogs.  And if 6 kids weren't enough, pretty much every weekend and many school days we have several buddies over, running around with our kids on the land.  We are so glad our kid's friends all want to come here!

Shad and I have such similar values and talents, we quickly joined forces and started the Pair of Spades.  Real Estate, Photography and Woodworking!

Our oldest started college and is attending the University of Texas in Austin, with our second daughter soon to follow, and I quickly realized how much that debt will add up for her and how quickly.  This is the main driving force behind me switching from full time portrait photography to becoming a licensed Real Estate Agent for Clark Real Estate.  Everything we do, we do for our family, and this is no exception.  I work hard, and quickly, and I will hustle to benefit my family.  Each day that we have together is a blessing!!

Prepare to have fun...

I have never known a stranger.  I like to laugh, and even better I love making the people that I'm with laugh until their bellies hurt.  I'm silly, sarcastic and have a wicked dry sense of humor, and I believe no matter what you do, you can have fun doing it.  If we are out looking for a new house together, I guarantee we will have fun doing it.  If you are selling your house due to divorce, or to downsize, or move up, I will hold your hand and guide you through it because I have been there.  I know that sometimes pain and fear are involved.  This is a huge deal selling or buying a house!!  But even more importantly, I know what is on the other side, and I can tell you, life is going to be amazing once you get there.  Let me do my job, market your property to the best of my ability, and advise you through the selling or buying process, and let's find your family their new "best place on earth" home.  (for me, that's our amazing Pair of Spades Ranch).

My marketing plan for your listing includes a 4 tier approach, with you as a partner in that plan.  To find out more, and/or to schedule an appointment, please use the form below, or even better give me a call as soon as you can, and let's get you on the schedule!
