Heather Heishman
VG Owner/Agent
The best real estate businesses are not built on transactions. They are built on trust. That belief has guided Steve and Heather Heishman since 2002.
Over the past two decades, they have helped hundreds of families buy, sell, build, and invest in homes throughout Hampton Roads. They have represented first time buyers taking the leap, families building their forever home, military relocations, custom home clients, luxury sellers, and investors growing long term wealth. They rank among the top 1% of agents in the region, yet they still personally guide around 50 families each year by choice. They believe the relationship built during the first transaction should last long after the closing table.
In 2018, they founded Verity Group. Verity means truth, and that became more than a name. It became the standard. Relationships over transactions. Honest guidance over pressure. Conversations over sales pitches. Every recommendation made with one question in mind. What is truly best for the client?
As their business grew, so did their vision. In 2022, they partnered with PLACE, bringing together real systems, technology, and operational support with something no platform can replace. Local expertise. Personal relationships. Advisors who understand not only the market, but the people and communities that make Hampton Roads home. Along the way, Steve and Heather have coached and developed many of the region's top producing agents, brokerage leaders, and business owners. Their philosophy has always been simple. Character comes first. Skills can be taught. Integrity cannot.
Their lives are deeply rooted in the community they serve. They raise their family in Smithfield, own Cypress Creek Golfers' Club and Creekside Landing in partnership, and have invested in creating places where neighbors gather, friendships grow, and community thrives. They believe showing up for your community is just as important as showing up for your clients because, in their world, those are often the very same people. However they are serving a family, whether it is a first home or a final one, the goal never changes. Tell the truth. Protect the relationship. Deliver an experience worthy of a referral. The market will change. Technology will evolve.
Trust never goes out of style.
Exceeded Expectations!
We sold our home with Heather and Steve and it exceeded our expectations! They were so knowledgeable about the market and had great recommendations for what we needed to do to sell quickly and at top dollar. They have a full team of experts in all aspects of selling to make the whole process so smooth. We are only disappointed that we moved out of the state and can't use them for our next home purchase.

Highly recommended
"When my wife and I decided to sell our home and move to another city, Steve and Heather Heishman were highly recommended to us. After interviewing them, there was no reason to look farther. It was obvious they were professional, knowledgeable of both markets, personable and, most of all absolutely honest and straightforward. No games. Our intentions were to sell out home and find just the right home in the right neighborhood. Unfortunately, in this crazy market that was not to be. Plan B was to buy a lot and build a custom home. Steve and Heather were invaluable in that they understood our needs and wants and found several lots to consider. After picking out a perfect lot, again, they were invaluable in helping us find a floor plan and just the perfect builder to build out new (and hopefully last) home. They walked us through the entire process, side-by-side, communicated almost daily, ran interference for us when necessary and even helped us with choices in colors and finishes best suited to our style. I can’t say enough good things about Steve and Heather as well as their support staff at Verity as they were an intricate part of the whole process as well. The communication was plentiful and we were kept informed of everything along our journey. In the end, everything and I mean everything turned out perfectly. No surprises. No glitches. Would I work with them again? I would ONLY work with them as there couldn’t possibly be a better experience and better people and a better real estate agency. Highly recommended."

Best real estate experience I ever had
"Verity Group was by far the "best" real estate experience I ever had, and this was my 4th experience buying and or selling a home. I have served in the military for over 30 years and always regretted moving but Verity Group streamlined this experience to easy and comfortable. First, they assisted me with selling my home; contract placed within 4 days, then helped me find my dream home and obtain a comfortable price. I was so afraid I wouldn't find another house before my time was up to leave my old house. They stood by my side quickly providing me with newly listed homes daily ensuring I was priority until I found the right home for me. Heather and Steve to everyone in their network is like a "family" owned business and they make you feel like part of the family!! If I decide to sell and buy again, they are my first choice!"
