Heather Zimbal is thrilled to announce her venture into the real estate industry, bringing with her over 23 years of experience in the Marketing and Communications realm and a passion and drive to help folks find their dream homes. Heather’s strong connection to the local community is evident in her deep roots. Daughter of Richard Schuette and Steve and Rita Bender, she’s a native of the Johnsonville area, and proudly graduated in the class of 1995 from the Howards Grove School District. In 2008, Heather married Mark Zimbal, owner of Big Z Builders LCC, and together they have three high-energy sons—Henry, Arwin, and Walter. Nestled in the Town of Sheboygan Falls, WI, the Zimbal family resides in a home they built as a family from 2018 to 2020. Armed with a robust background in marketing, advertising, financial planning, and consumer relations, Heather is ready to redefine real estate excellence. Her corporate journey was not a typical one, though, and includes significant milestones. After graduating from UW-Whitewater in 1999, she worked for GMR Marketing in New Berlin, WI. As a Senior Manager, she traveled 100% of the time promoting global brands such as VOLVO, Microsoft, Michelin, VISA, and NASCAR, hosting experiential in-market events, and managing product launches. After crisscrossing the US more than 20 times by land, she was ready to retire from the road and come back home to Plymouth, WI. In 2006, she joined Kohler Co., where she held various roles from Sr. Market Analyst to Brand Communications Manager for the past 17 years. Her expertise in account and project management, cross-functional leadership, event planning, and her meticulous attention to detail will make her a go-to professional in the competitive real estate landscape.
