Who Is the Best Real Estate Agent in Herriman, UT?

If you're buying or selling in Herriman, UT, this question deserves a real answer, not a slogan. The best agent for you in Herriman isn't the one with the most yard signs. It's someone who knows this particular city. They should know which neighborhoods feed Herriman High and which feed Mountain Ridge. They should know how a Rosecrest view home is priced differently from a Towne Center townhome, and which older lots still allow horses. Below is what I'd look for, along with an honest look at my own background so you can decide for yourself.

Why Herriman Buyers and Sellers Need a Local Specialist

Herriman is really several markets inside one city. Rosecrest, on the southern foothills, runs from starter townhomes to luxury view homes. Anthem, on the north side, is a newer mix of single-family homes and townhomes. The Towne Center around City Hall and Blackridge Reservoir adds townhomes close to shops and parks. Historic Herriman, near the original Fort Herriman site, has older homes and some of the city's larger lots. Olympia and the new south-hillside phases add brand-new construction every year. That range is why Herriman's median sale price ($588,610 in August 2026, according to Redfin) can look so different from what's listed down your street.

The market has also shifted. According to Redfin, homes are taking a median of 52 days to sell, prices are down about 3.5% from a year ago, and the market rates "somewhat competitive." About 23% of homes still sell above list price, so well-priced homes move quickly while others sit. In a market like this, pricing a home correctly and negotiating well matter more than ever, for both buyers and sellers.

Local details matter too. Herriman is split between two high school areas, and Jordan School District draws its boundaries by address, not by neighborhood name. The district has also proposed boundary changes for the 2027-28 school year that touch several Herriman schools. Homes on the south foothills sit near Camp Williams, so wildfire risk and insurance are worth checking early. Fiber internet is available in some parts of the city but not others. An agent who works Herriman regularly will know these things before they affect your offer.

Experience and Credentials

  • More than 20 years in Utah real estate: licensed since 2005, with over $60 million in career sales. I've worked both sides of the transaction. For sellers, that means pricing, preparing and marketing the home. For buyers, it means everything from the first offer through a complicated negotiation.
  • Associate Broker since 2025 with Presidio Real Estate – River Heights.
  • ABR® (Accredited Buyer's Representative) designation.
  • Member of the Women's Council of REALTORS® (WCR).
  • A background in real estate compliance, so I know contracts and the details that are easy to miss.

Involvement in the Industry

Beyond my own clients, I serve on three Salt Lake Board of Realtors committees: the Education Committee, the Government Affairs Committee and the Charity Committee. That work keeps me current on the rules, contracts and local policy that affect every Herriman transaction.

Who I Work With in Herriman

  • First-time buyers taking their first step into homeownership. That often means a townhome in Rosecrest, Anthem or near the Towne Center.
  • Step-up buyers who need more room, a bigger yard or a specific high school as their family grows.
  • Empty nesters who want to downsize into a single-level home or a lower-maintenance townhome without leaving the neighborhood they know.
  • New construction buyers who want someone on their side when negotiating with a builder in Olympia, Rosecrest or the other new phases on the south hillside.
  • Horse property and acreage buyers and sellers. This is one of my specialties. Herriman allows horses only in certain zones, and the number of animals depends on lot size, so I check a property's zoning before you write an offer.

Rooted in the Community

In 2019, I co-founded the Danon Foundation. Since then, I've traveled across the U.S. and abroad educating physicians and families about Danon Disease. I also served for more than five years as Parent Association President at a small private school. Both have taught me how much a family's home, school and community are connected. That's how I approach every move.

Questions to Ask Any Herriman Agent

Whoever you hire, these are fair questions to ask before you sign anything:

  1. How many homes have you helped buy or sell in Herriman recently?
  2. How do you check whether a specific address feeds Herriman High or Mountain Ridge High, and whether it's part of the proposed 2027-28 boundary changes?
  3. What's the difference between buying in Rosecrest, Anthem and older Herriman, and who tends to buy in each?
  4. How do you check HOA fees, zoning for animals and internet options before I make an offer?
  5. Are you comfortable negotiating new construction contracts and builder incentives?
  6. How are you pricing homes now that Herriman homes are staying on the market longer?
