ABOUT ME | HI, I'M HEIDI

Deeply Caring, Dependable, Strong Communicator, Financial mindset and an insistence on doing it the right way versus the easy way - these are the qualities I infuse into my professional endeavors.

I am a former U.S. Naval Officer and graduated from Annapolis in 1993. After serving ten years in the U.S. and abroad, I obtained an MBA from Harvard Business School with a concentration in Finance. I then worked with Starwood Hotels and Resorts for 13 years in various leadership roles in finance, Six Sigma and resort development. From 2014 to 2021, I owned a franchise (Planet Smoothie) in my neighborhood of Lake Nona.

Having moved 23 times in my life and bought and sold multiples homes of my own, I understand what an important life milestone the purchase and sale of a home can be, and the difference a great agent can make in your experience. I will apply my considerable business acumen, extensive realtor network, and strong work ethic to help you achieve your real estate goals.

As a resident of Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, I am uniquely qualified to assist buyers through the discovery process in this special community. I specialize in Lake Nona and the surrounding Orlando area including Hunter's Creek where I resided for six years. A long-time Orlando resident since 2002, I will either personally know your community or have a friend who does.

In my spare time I enjoy golf, tennis, pickleball, running, travel and am deeply committed to a cat rescue (Dexter's Kitties) that I co-founded and serve as Executive Director. Nearly all of my real estate profits are donated to important causes which include: Dexter's Kitties, cures for Cluster Headaches and Migraines through The Will Erwin Headache Research Foundation, Adult Literacy and Children's Education, and support of our troops and veterans. You will not be disappointed in selecting me as your real estate partner!

  • "Heidi is a true professional and made the selling process easy. From the initial assessment, to staging and photos and the contracting and final paperwork. I was always kept informed -- no matter the time of day. My house was sold in 4 days for full price. I cannot imagine a better experience."

  • "I highly recommend Heidi Bedell to anyone looking to sell or purchase a home. She is a true expert in the field. Heidi listed and closed on our home in less than one month! She has extensive knowledge of the market, impeccable communication skills and she’s 100% commitment to the job. She is hands down the best realtor we’ve worked with and will absolutely use her for any of our future needs."

  • “Heidi helped with multiple sales and purchases at the same time, no easy effort, since they were done over two states, during Covid and some of it with a virtual component. Heidi understands the area, has great contacts for inspectors, contractors and will really help in putting everything together. We had may stumbles along with way with the lenders, sellers and brokers, and Heidi dealt with all of it.”

    Satisfied Seller

  • “Heidi is an intelligent and motivated individual. With great poise, she assisted me in my buying experience. Heidi helped me identify the items that mattered to me the most. For every one of my uncertainties, she was able to offer different perspectives and provided a rational approach with any advice she offered; e.g. consideration for property valuation, resale value, market demands, competing options, etc. Heidi earns your trust and respects your choices. She was always available to address my needs and never imposed her views. She never made me feel pressured,and always made sure that I did not let the seller pressure me; and she always made me aware of alternate choices. Heidi had my best interest at heart.”

    Satisfied Buyer

  • “We decided to build our first home in Lake Nona last August and made the wise decision to hire Heidi as our realtor. As we've seen over the past 10 months, Heidi infuses a trademark intelligence and passion into everything she does, and real estate is no different. Her ability to not just meet, but surpass, all of our expectations throughout the stressful build process places her into a category of excellence that delights us at every turn - from researching schools to finding quality handymen/inspectors/insurance agents to directing us through a challenging remote closing, Heidi was our rock. If she doesn't have an answer, she will get it. Period. And finally, she adds a personal touch and integrity that transcends real estate.”

  • “Heidi went the extra mile in a city that is 2 hours from her typical area. She was incredibly responsive and proactive. I often expect top-shelf customer service and do not feel satisfied if it isn't the type of service I would deliver. With Heidi, she always delivered better than I thought was possible. She made me think of areas/ideas/things before they even crossed my mind. She is a real professional business person who bring that to real estate - it is very refreshing. She created an excel workbook for me to understand comps in the area and make informed decisions. In addition to being available nights and weekends, she was very good about communicating with me when I would drop the ball. I so appreciate her amazing real estate agent skillset and her outgoing personality and smarts.”

  • Heidi was amazing and very patient with me. We relocated from Texas to Orlando recently. She was always happy to accommodate me several times when I was traveling and only in town for short periods. She was thorough in asking what our needs and likes were in a home. We weren't able to purchase until we first sold our Texas home. Many times I felt like I was wasting her time. She was always ready to show me listings in my time frame. We did sell our Texas home and are happy in our beautiful home in Orlando.

    Carolyn and Dean L
    Satisfied Buyer

  • Heidi not only worked tirelessly to find us the right home and was willing to go see any home we wanted, but she was also able to convey what deal would work. She never gave up in this hot market despite our offers being declined on numerous properties, but kept finding more homes for us to see and encouraging us that the right one was out there waiting for us. We did a lot of looking virtually with Heidi and appreciate her flexibility to do so as we prepared for our out of state move to Florida. I couldn’t recommend Heidi more highly. The agent we used to sell our home in NJ was an agent we had used twice before. Prior to meeting Heidi, we thought she was good at what she did. Heidi showed us the vast difference in excellent, responsive customer service. I cannot imagine using a different agent in the future!

    Casey and John C
    Satisfied Buyer

  • Heidi went so far above and beyond what was expected. We are so appreciative of her ability to understand the market and ultimately get our house sold in a timely manner. She’s the best realtor we have worked with and we have bought and sold many homes.

WHAT I LOVE TO DO

MY PASSIONS AND INTERESTS

I strive to find a balance between working, playing and giving back to this glorious world that has given me so much to be thankful for.

I enjoy travel, good food (especially desserts), golf, pickleball, running, books, movies, live music, cards, game nights with friends and hanging out with my cats.

The majority of my real estate profits are dedicated to non-profits that I am committed to supporting. I also strive to support causes near to clients' hearts. I am a co-founder and Executive Director of Dexter's Kitties Inc, a cat rescue 501(c)3. I also serve on the board of the Will Erwin Headache Research Foundation which is determined to cure cluster headaches and debilitating migraines. Supporting the Adult Literacy League and education of children from under-served neighborhoods are also important to me.

ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE!
