Heidi Joy
CEO
About Me
For nearly three decades, Heidi Joy has built her real estate career around one simple belief: people deserve an advisor who will protect their interests as fiercely as she would her own.
As co-founder of Home with Joy, Heidi leads a mother-daughter real estate team alongside her daughter, Lexi Spitz, serving Tampa Bay with a special focus on luxury, waterfront, and coastal properties. A longtime local and Belleair Beach resident, Heidi knows this market in a way that goes far beyond square footage and sales data.
She knows the neighborhoods, the waterways, the restaurants, the hidden gems, the builders, the vendors, the shortcuts, the personalities, and, perhaps most importantly, the difference between a home that looks good online and one that actually fits your life.
Her career includes recognition among the top real estate professionals in the region, leadership as the #1 agent in her office, and work as a national speaker. But Heidi has never believed experience is about how long you have been doing something. It is about knowing what matters, what does not, and when to say, “I would not do that if I were you.”
That is where she shines.
Heidi is especially skilled at helping high-net-worth clients look at real estate as part of a larger financial picture. Many of her clients own multiple properties, including primary residences, second homes, investment properties, and legacy assets. She helps them step back and evaluate the full portfolio, looking at what they own, how each property is performing, where there may be unnecessary exposure, and where there may be opportunities to reposition.
For Heidi, the conversation is rarely just, “Should I sell this house?” It is more often, “What role should this property play in the next five or ten years, and does it still make sense?”
She is known for listening closely, asking better questions, negotiating strategically, and helping clients think several moves ahead. She is calm when things get complicated, direct when clarity is needed, and fiercely protective when it counts.
That approach has helped Home with Joy become much more than a traditional real estate team. Heidi and Lexi act as advisors, connectors, and local insiders for clients who want to understand not just what to buy or sell, but how a home fits into the life and financial picture they are building next.
For Heidi, the business is also deeply personal. Working beside her daughter has turned a successful career into a family legacy, and with three grandchildren now part of the next generation, that legacy has taken on even more meaning.
Her style is warm, strategic, straightforward, and never short on personality.
She takes real estate seriously.
Herself, not quite as much.
