Heidi Kuhrt
Buying property on Salt Spring Island is a unique journey, enriched by the island’s vibrant community and natural beauty. With decades of real estate experience, including a significant tenure on Salt Spring Island since 2018, I bring a deep understanding of the local market and a passion for helping clients find their ideal home.
Experience
I’ve worked extensively in Vancouver and Bowen Island, providing me with a broad perspective on diverse real estate landscapes. Since moving to Salt Spring Island, I’ve fully embraced the island lifestyle, contributing to the community and gaining invaluable insights into the local market dynamics.
Personal background
Our family relocated to Salt Spring Island after spending a transformative year in Peru. We’ve been here since 2018, building our home and integrating into the community. My hands-on experience with property development and local regulations gives me a unique edge in guiding clients through the buying process.
Community engagement
I’m actively involved with the Salt Spring Emergency program as a Community POD leader. I also enjoy participating in our local arts scene, enjoy the island’s outdoor activities, and am dedicated to sustainable living. My goal is to help you not only find a home but also connect with the community that makes Salt Spring Island special.
What clients are saying
We were very grateful to have Heidi Kuhrt as our realtor. She was supremely professional, knowledgeable, quick to respond, very thorough, and a good listener. We really appreciated her clear advice on the steps to take ahead of preparing an offer in a very competitive market. She was decisive in her recommendations and coordinated inspections in the timeliest manner. There is no doubt that our offer would not have been successful without her guidance. We would have no hesitation in recommending her.
We were very lucky to have met Heidi Kuhrt, who helped us on our recent Salt Spring Island property purchase. We had zero connection and experience for the island’s property market. Heidi guided us every step on the way from property search to our final closing. Her professionalism, knowledge, connections, and dedication convinced us she’s the one to trust and depend on. We feel very fortunate to have had her as our agent, a true gem in real estate market!

It is hard to praise Heidi sufficiently, either as a careful agent for buyers, someone who seems to know the best contractors, or simply as a networker between newbies. She gave us some very clear advice as to what was possible and managed to navigate us to a solution that met our dreams and our pocket – and was something we hadn’t considered. She suggested the most wonderful island contractors and then introduced us to some new neighbours. Simply a wonderful person.
Our experience with Heidi Kuhrt has been exceptional. Throughout the entire process, she was very responsive and quick to act when needed. She is extremely knowledgeable and was able to offer advice concerning a wide array of topics including neighborhoods, wells, septic systems, building quality, resale value, renovations, mortgages, etc. Most importantly, we appreciated her sensitivity to our specific tastes as well as her honesty – Heidi is genuinely interested to find the ‘right place’ for her clients.
Heidi is/was both honest and thorough, leaving no stone unturned when helping prospective buyers/me. I have never felt so trusting of a realtor...; her integrity is simply part of her makeup. I am grateful to have purchased a home with her industrious help!
Heidi’s architecture background enabled her to accurately identify pluses and minuses of properties we considered. She was very detail-oriented and shared technical information (about wells, variations, zoning, etc) that helped us make our decision. Because she was super-organized, we had an accepted offer 48 hours after arriving on the Island. And she didn’t forget about us after the sale; she followed up with lots of information that made taking possession much easier.
We know we were very demanding, not only looking for the right house to call home but also finding the perfect location for our business. But Heidi went above and beyond for us. She is very passionate, professional, and super smart but the quality we admired most is her knowledge of, and her responsiveness to, the fast-moving market on Salt Spring Island. Because of her commitment and full-time support, we would highly recommend Heidi, if you are searching for real estate or selling your property.
Heidi brings calm and seamless coordination to the process of buying a house so I was able to focus on the excitement rather than the stress. I contacted her after reading her blog about moving to the Gulf Islands with kids. Within a week, I had an accepted offer and felt confident to finalize the process from across the country. She put me in touch with service providers in the community and was there for me every step of the way. I could not have asked for more. Heidi is superb!
