As Regional Business Development Manager at CSHQA, Heather Cornell brings over 25 years of experience to her role. She partners with the VP of Business Development and Principals to craft strategic sales programs that maximize exposure to new prospects while specializing in business development, marketing, branding, and public relations.
Heather thrives on aligning the perfect combination of fun, trust, and building lasting relationships. “I began my career in 2000 as a real estate appraiser, drawn by my passion for analyzing property values, design, and neighborhood markets—each report felt like telling a unique story, which later inspired me to expand into title, escrow, and real estate sales.”
Her client-first approach shines in high-end property acquisitions and investment opportunities, where she delivers results through market insight and expert negotiation skills. Heather bridges the gap between market needs and architectural solutions, bringing together her real estate expertise and design knowledge to align development projects with client objectives.
When she’s not crafting strategic solutions for clients, you’ll find Heather participating in community events across West Coast markets, cycling at dawn on 10-mile rides, or escaping for quick weekend trips to the beach or mountains with her dog, Fargo.
