Heather has been licensed since 1980 and began her real estate career with Rancho Santa Fe Properties, where she was awarded salesperson of the year in 1984.  In 1986 she again received top honors from Rancho Santa Fe Acreage and Homes before she joined her sister’s company, Rancho Santa Fe Realty, in 1989.  Now under the brokerage of Willis Allen Real Estate, Heather has been recognized as being in the top 1% nationally and received Society of Excellence Awards for 2002 and 2003.  She was an active member of Junior League 16 years, Children’s Home Society 14 years and is presently a member of Rancho Santa Fe Rotary and a two year Paul Harris Society Fellow.  Manion also is a member of the RSF Historical Society, RSF Garden Club, RSF Community Center and has served 8 years on the board of the RSF Tennis Club.

Heather easily extends a warm welcome to everyone to the Ranch through her generous and exuberant personality.  She automatically includes her clients as her friends in all activities from inviting them to social functions to coordinating parties so that they can meet their neighbors and ensure a smooth transaction into their new community.  Heather’s ability to communicate well with people and her extensive experience and natural skill at showing property helps her clients to see the advantage of living in a home as opposed to merely purchasing it.  Her expertise in all areas of real estate - the current market, client and broker relations, and escrow transactions - is evident in Heather’s “people person” attitude and her track record as top sales agent.
