Heather Sinclair joins Matt Lionetti and The Broke Agent to talk about how she transitioned from hospitality to real estate—and how she became one of the top agents selling ultra-luxury homes in Aspen, Colorado. 

They also cover how she reaches potential clients living outside Aspen, what she’s done for her clients to protect their privacy, and how important agent-to-agent referrals are to her business. 

Heather has been in the business for over 20 years now and has over $1 billion in sales to her name. She shares some stories of experiences with high-profile clients (who shall remain nameless), why they simply call her on her cell phone, and what she does to go the extra mile for them. 

Stay to the end to hear about a particularly memorable horseback ride she took with a celebrity and her friends.
