The Prosper Pulse On Real Estate: Meet Co-Founder Heather Winham

We are excited to launch another episode of the Prosper Pulse on Real Estate. This week we had the chance to sit down and learn more about Co-Founder Heather Winham. Heather’s warm personality and market insight are clear indicators of her success in the local real estate market. Learn more about Heather, her role at Prosper Real Estate, and her commitment to building community. 

Heather has long called Far East Contra Costa County home. She proudly raised her kids in Brentwood and now calls Discovery Bay home. And in fact, it is her love for both Far East Contra Costa County and her family that drew her into real estate and also the reason her passion grows with each passing year. 

Winham stepped into the real estate industry from the mortgage side of things. She loved being an integral piece of the “real estate puzzle. ” Financing is a major step for homebuyers! However, through each transaction, Heather felt more drawn to inviting people to make their homes in Brentwood, Oakley, Discovery Bay, and other surrounding communities than helping them secure financing. Heather wanted to introduce families to schools, parks, community events and introduce them each to local businesses owners. This is what inspired her to secure her real estate license and partner with Prosper Real Estate Founder Mark Schweller. This was when Heather’s story in real estate leveled up in powerful ways. 

While much of the world was tucked away during an extended Shelter-in-Place mandate in 2020, Heather Winham and Mark Schwelller were working furiously to not only help clients meet their real estate goals but to get their vision, Prosper Real Estate, off the ground. As Mark brings to the table 17 years of experience in residential real estate, Heather’s ability to build relationships, connect community members and make everyone feel like family was the perfect match to launch Prosper Real Estate. 

Heather’s bright smile and contagious laugh might be what initially catches your attention. But, it is her strong sales skills and refined negotiation tactics that set her apart from others. In fact, Heather was named the Number 1 Sales Person in North America at BDS Marketing! There is no doubt that Heather thrives sharing her passion of real estate.

At Prosper Real Estate, Heather talks about their growing team with love, expectation, and excitement. Heather emphasizes the simple fact the team comes together to work, solve problems, meet and set goals. But, just as frequently you will find them out to play, celebrating and learning to grow together. Heather refers to herself as the “mother” of Prosper Real Estate. If you are lucky enough to catch her while at the office, Heather will meet you with a hug, smile, and an invitation to sit down. Then, take the time to listen and put her professional skills to work!

Heather will be the first to admit that she loves bringing new families to far East Contra Costa County. She is always excited to showcase the community to new faces around town. When Heather moved to town from Southern California nearly 30 years ago, she never realized how much she would fall in love with the people, scenery, and energy
around town.  

Today, Mark and Heather are taking this commitment to the community and tying it into every transaction and interaction they are part of. From team building within the growing Prosper Real Estate family to local events and clients, new and old, you can trust when you work with Heather and the team at Prosper Real Estate, you not only will find the home of your dreams, you will be introduced, and welcomed into the community like part of the family.
