Vanessa Heisler

Real Estate Agent in Oregon

A licensed broker since 2020, Vanessa Heisler brings a mix of deep-rooted industry knowledge, proactive hustle, and heartfelt dedication to her clients. Known for her promptness and solution-oriented mindset, Vanessa is the kind of broker who gets it done with integrity and heart. Her love for real estate began early as a calling sparked by watching her father build their family home. That planted a seed that has grown into a lifelong passion for helping others find spaces where they can thrive. She listens closely to her clients’ goals and fiercely advocates for them every step of the way.

With a background in property management, overseeing up to 235 units at one time, Vanessa knows how to navigate real estate from every angle. Her experience gives her a sharp edge in managing complex situations and coordinating with an extensive network of trusted vendors to get things done efficiently and effectively. A lifelong Portlander, Vanessa knows the city like the back of her hand. Her knowledge runs deep in NW Portland, where she lived for over a decade, and Milwaukie, where she’s developed strong ties within the community. From neighborhood insights and market trends to hidden gems and hyper-local nuances, Vanessa offers her clients a true insider’s perspective that only years of lived experience can provide.

Outside of real estate, Vanessa enjoys hiking, traveling, and is always up for a great cup of coffee. She’s a proud mom to two amazing kids, Evan and Lilly, who keep her grounded and inspired. She also gives back to the community through Catalyst Partnerships NW, helping restore homes for individuals who need a hand.

My Happy Clients

"Vanessa was absolutely fantastic as our realtor from start to finish! Vanessa is an exceptionally positive, enthusiastic professional that made our home buying process as exciting and seamless as possible. She paired us with an equally excellent lender, with whom she worked closely with to ensure we got the best deal possible. Vanessa ended up negotiating successfully and securing us seller concessions, which helped us tremendously. Vanessa and our lender truly worked magic in this deal to get us in the home we wanted at a price we felt comfortable with. Vanessa was also very attentive, and ensured we understood every step of the home buying process, and was always fighting for our best interest. I could not recommend Vanessa more, and would seek her out if you are at all in the market to buy or sell a home!"

"Opt was very helpful in buying of my first home! They were always ahead of the game, and I always felt prioritized in my home buying journey. I interacted with nothing but professionals, that wanted the best for me and my family as we navigated buying our house. I could not recommend working with Opt more if you are interested in a seamless home buying process!"

Jonathan Heisler

"In a word Vanessa is outstanding! We’ve bought and sold at least a dozen homes over the years and Vanessa has been the best, most professional and reliable agent we’ve ever worked with. She has extensive knowledge of the market and was always there for us (even after the sale). Although she always kept us informed, we never felt pressured. She is an excellent communicator which is very important when you're buying or selling a home. Vanessa seems to be eternally happy and is a joy to work with. We cannot recommend her enough!"

"Vanessa was so great! She sold our house (in one day) and got us our new house. She went above and beyond each step of the way, scheduling every service that we needed and wanted, communicating every step of the way. She even helped watch my young children during meetings to help us out. We highly recommend Vanessa she’s an absolute gem!"
