Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make, and my goal is to make the mortgage process as clear, personalized, and stress-free as possible.

 

I'm Heather Dufour, an award-winning Mortgage Loan Officer with the Home Loan by Heather Mortgage Team, proudly helping homebuyers, homeowners, and real estate investors throughout the Kansas City Metro, with their home financing needs.

 

My career has always centered around helping people navigate important financial decisions. After working in banking and spending nearly a decade in financial aid while earning my MBA, I transitioned into mortgage lending in 2019. That background allows me to simplify complex loan options, educate my clients, and create personalized mortgage strategies for first-time homebuyers, repeat buyers, and investors.

 

Whether you're purchasing your first home, refinancing your current mortgage, or financing an investment property, I offer guidance on conventional, FHA, VA, USDA loans and more, always focusing on honest advice, responsive communication, and a lending experience tailored to your goals. My clients appreciate my hands-on approach, clear communication, and the fact that I'm there long after closing day.

 

As a real estate investor myself, I understand the importance of financing that supports long-term wealth and cash flow. I enjoy helping both first-time buyers and experienced investors make confident real estate decisions.

 

I'm honored to have been recognized as a Five Star Mortgage Professional (2025 & 2026) and a Scotsman Guide Top Originator, reflecting my commitment to exceptional service and trusted client relationships.

 

When I'm not helping clients, you'll usually find me cheering on my two daughters at volleyball and cheer competitions, spending time with our dogs and cat, or exploring new technology and AI tools that help create an even better mortgage experience.

 

If you're looking for a trusted mortgage lender who values education, honesty, and relationships over transactions, I'd love to help you achieve your homeownership goals.

 

Let's buy a house—and make your next move your best one yet.

Heather was phenomenal. She made the mortgage process as easy as could be and as a first time homebuyer that made a world of difference. I had so much going on with starting a new job, moving to a new state, it was all overwhelming. Not having to worry about where I was in the process of getting a home loan and getting consistent updates from Heather as I went through this process of buying my first home just lifted a weight off my shoulders. I can't thank her enough!
