Heather Thompson

About Me

Born and raised in Gilmer, Texas, Heather Thompson brings six years of extensive industry experience to her clients. Currently residing in Longview, Texas, Heather is a highly accomplished professional who was named a Top 3 Loan Officer in 2024 for the 40 Under 40 by ETX View Magazine.

What truly sets Heather apart from many standard loan officers is her comprehensive background in both sales and mortgage operations. Having spent significant time working directly in loan processing and operations, she possesses an intimate understanding of the entire loan manufacturing process. This specialized expertise allows her to look at a file through the eyes of an underwriter from day one, helping her anticipate potential underwriting issues early and avoid unnecessary delays. For her clients and real estate partners, this translates to smoother closings, fewer surprises, and transparent, proactive communication from application to closing.

Licensed in Texas and Louisiana, Heather specializes in VA loans and Down Payment Assistance (DPA) programs, working closely with first-time homebuyers and Veterans to help them seamlessly achieve their dreams of homeownership. Her passion for helping others extends deeply into her local community, where she regularly volunteers to sponsor and serve meals to the homeless and partners with local businesses to secure donations for a small grassroots homeless organization and a local women's shelter.

Outside of the office, Heather is a dedicated mother of two (ages 18 and 8) and a proud grandmother to her one-year-old granddaughter. Her household also includes Duke, her beloved Doberman. In her free time, she loves thrifting with her mom and sister, catching new movies at the theater with her son, and exploring local car shows with her family. You can also frequently find her at the local bingo hall, enjoying a favorite family hobby alongside her son.
