About

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.

Testimonials

What clients are saying

Heidi Kuhrt, Macdonald Realty Ltd. was our clear first choice after interviewing realtors from three firms. It was time to sell our house, and we wanted to move on with life's new adventures. Heidi best listened to our objectives, keenly understood the Salt Spring Island housing market, and has a tenacious, clear-headed, professional approach to real estate transactions. Her competitive market analysis best described the current market. She determined an attention-grabbing price point, and her team perfectly prepared the marketing material so potential buyers could imagine their lives in our home. Heidi turned a softening buyer's market into a competitive seller's market generating multiple offers above our asking price within 24hrs of listing. She navigated sticky subjects and closed the sale within two weeks.

Heidi came highly recommended by a trusted friend. I needed a Current Market Analysis of my home to decide my next steps. Heidi delivered a thorough and accurate review of my home and the market. She was quick, efficient, and thoughtful in her process. I would highly recommend Heidi to anyone wanting a real estate agent on Salt Spring Island!

I had a fantastic experience working with Heidi during my home-buying journey. From the very beginning, she impressed me with her quick responses and proactive approach. Being the first to make an offer set a positive tone for the entire process. Heidi’s expertise was invaluable, especially when I had questions that made me feel uncertain. She patiently addressed my concerns, using her experience to instil confidence in me, which ultimately led me to secure my dream house—that I love already before moving in! I can’t thank Heidi and her team enough for their support and dedication. If you’re looking for a realtor who truly cares about her clients and knows how to navigate the market, I highly recommend Heidi!

James Pettigrew
Heidi helped us over a period of a year and a half to look for a property that worked for us. Throughout that time, she was honest, patient, and understanding. We really appreciate her open and forthright assessment of the places we viewed. When we finally made an offer, she worked diligently, covering every detail in our complicated purchase, and connecting us to the right people to assess the different aspects of the house, property, and strata. Even when things got challenging, she completely kept her cool, and thoughtfully determined the best strategy to pursue. Through her guidance, we now have a place that was even better than we dreamed of. We feel very lucky to have her as our representative.
Tamara Pearl
Heidi is very personable, professional, and honorable. It is a pleasure to have met her and had her counsel and guidance throughout the purchase of our parcel of land. Thank you, Heidi.
Lawrence Lee
We were buyers in a difficult market. We found Heidi through a friend, and she quickly helped us focus our thinking, acknowledge some important challenges, and narrow in on our needs. She took our very specific information and drew on her experience and contacts to get us ahead of the market. Thanks to her, we were completing a purchase before everyone else was aware that this property was for sale. And then she networked us with the community too and we found friends! We cannot recommend her highly enough.
Mark Skelding
I could not have asked for more in a realtor. Heidi was right there every step of the way; always available and always willing to communicate. Heidi addressed my questions and concerns with a professional intelligence and authenticity that made the whole experience of selling my home rather wonderful. Thank you, Heidi.
Barbara Messenger
It's my pleasure to give a review about Heidi Kuhrt. I live in Ontario and had a rental property on Salt Spring Island. I decided to sell the property as it was difficult to manage it from a distance. Also, the property had come into disrepair, and it was hard to get tradespeople to repair and maintain it. This being said, it could have been difficult to sell due to the condition the house was in. Heidi was highly recommended through a friend, and I am very impressed with her professionalism and effectiveness. She kept me updated and well informed, and listened to my concerns and suggestions. The property was well staged for the listing, and she communicated effectively with the tenants. An offer considerably above the asking price was made 48 hours after the listing was posted. This offer was accepted and the sale completion proceeded smoothly. I would highly recommend Heidi Kuhrt as a realtor for any prospective seller.
Elly Crawford
We are so grateful to have worked with Heidi for our move from Vancouver to Salt Spring Island. She came highly recommended by a friend and we couldn’t be happier. Heidi helped us find our stunning dream home within our budget. No bidding wars or stress. Thanks to her years of experience, local expertise, and quick thinking, she made sure we made the right offer at the right time to get the house, which had a lot of interest from others. We can confidently say that it’s thanks to Heidi working her magic that we got an accepted offer. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with her and we are so appreciative of her responsiveness, kindness, and willingness to go above and beyond. Thanks, Heidi!
